A Note About Summer School
With all of the upcoming changes and moves for 6-8 school sites, we will not be holding summer concert band and summer jazz band for students in grades 6-8 this summer. We kept the music program descriptions in the course guide as we wanted folks to know that we are continuing to offer music programming in the future.
We plan to continue to support students and strengthen their music skills during Summer School 2023 in a more personalized manner. With that in mind, please be aware that these classes will not be offered during summer school registration that begins on March 15.
We apologize for any confusion - but we wanted you to know that offering music opportunities continues to be a priority for our district Summer School programs. Please also be aware that we will be sharing more information about support for our incoming music students in August.
Thank you for understanding and your ongoing strong support of music education in our schools. If you have any questions, please reach out!
