2024-2025 Gr 5 Course Optioning
Upper E Grade 5 students must submit options for their fine arts course so we can plan for the upcoming school year. In 2023-2024, UE 5 students are required to take either a band or strings instrumental course that meets 3 out of 5 days of the week, all year long. We held a preview night of all band and orchestra instruments for Gr 4 families on 03/05/24. Families should carefully consider your music selection as it is not always possible to make changes later. 2 days of Art of Music (vocal) is optional in both UE 5 and 6 and replaces Study Hall if chosen.
