String News

Please ensure that you are now connected to your child’s Seesaw Account and are checking it regularly as their assessments and parent communication is now being sent via Seesaw. 

If you are not connected to their Seesaw account please email me so I can send you the invitation to join. 

Please ensure your child is practising every single day, even 10 minutes a day is better for their brains and muscle memory than practising in one big chunk on the weekend.

Band News

All Band students are off to a flying  musical start to the year which is very exciting. Thankyou for all Hultgren Band members for being on time for rehearsals on Monday before school, and thankyou to parents for letting me know about any student absence due to illness via email.

Reminder: All instruments need to be taken home on the rehearsal /lesson day, So all Hultgren students take instruments home to practise on MONDAYS and all Grainger students take instruments home on WEDNESDAYS.

GRAINGER BAND: Please ensure your child is practising every single day, even 10 minutes a day is better for their brains and muscle memory than practising in one big chunk on the weekend.

HULTGREN BAND: Please ensure your child is practising at least 4 times per week for 20-30 minutes at a time, regular practise spaced out over the week is better for their brains and muscle memory than practising in one big chunk on the weekend.
