COVID-19 Precautions and Procedures
With this upcoming school year looking drastically different than years past, it is important that students take note of the new precautions and procedures that are in place. This includes new rehearsal locations, limitations and restrictions with sharing items in the classroom, required PPE, and more.
It is important that students understand that it is expected that they will follow the new guidelines and procedures that have been put in place to ensure the safety of other students and teachers in the classroom and when they are moving throughout the building.
A few important items for families to consider:
Music Ensemble Changes
Through guidance from the Department of Education and in coordination with information provided by local music organizations, concert band can resume indoor rehearsals while chorus is still unable to sing indoors. String ensemble will continue their regular rehearsal setup.
Concert band students must maintain at least 10 feet of distance between wind players. Percussionists must maintain at 6 feet distance between players. In addition, as an added layer of protection for our students and staff, wind players will be provided with wind screens and special masks to be worn during rehearsals.
Each student will be asked to practice routine sanitizing of their own work spaces including chairs, instruments, music stands, and anything else that was used during rehearsal time.
Teachers will provide sanitizing materials that have been approved by the district and are deemed safe to use on certain materials.
