If you missed Parent Teacher Conferences and your student hasn't shown up with one of these - here is a Partnership paper. This is a contract between me (the teacher), you the parents, and your music student.  Please sit down with your student and ask them what they think they need to do to feel successful in orchestra this year.  I have listed what my goals and job is in this process.  Finally, parents if you will write down three things you can do to support your student and sign the paper - that would be great! It is worth 25 points for your student to turn this in.  Thank you for supporting your child!
