My name is Michaela Davis and your child is signed up for 6th grade band at Trimpe Middle School. I'm truly ready and excited for this new school year - even though it will look like none other we have had before! This is my third year at Trimpe, but my fifth year in the Bethalto district. I also teach the high school band. I am dedicated to the band program in Bethalto, even during this tumultuous time. I am also dedicated to the safety of our children. Every decision made this year in the band classroom, and the entire district, is made with the idea of safety first. I wanted to give you a few updates after completing the first few days of in-person school: 1. I will be sending out either weekly emails or bi-weekly emails to keep you in the loop of what is happening in our classroom. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to respond to the emails. I'm pretty good at responding to emails: I have a fast response time - usually within 24 hours (although on the weekends it fluctuates). 2. A ton of information can be found on the band website, found HERE! The url is cmhsbands.weebly.com because when I first started in Bethalto, I only taught band at CM. That has changed! :) At the top is a drop down bar for the TMS band and then another drop down menu for 6th grade band specifically. Any email I send will also be found at the Band Updates underneath that tab. You will also find the TMS Band Handbook uploaded to this website. I discussed the handbook with all students this week and one of their first assignments is reading through the handbook with you and filling out the TMS Handbook E-Signature Form. This form lets me know that you and the students understand the expectations of our band classroom. You can also find both the handbook and form below! The E-Signature is due on Friday, August 24 and it will be a 25 point grade for students. HERE is a link to the TMS Handbook. HERE is a link to the TMS Handbook E-Signature Form.

Luckily, our band room has a door leading right outside, so we are located in a pretty decent spot for this! In cases of inclement weather, we will be inside working on other music fundamentals and musically engaging activities that do not involve playing our instruments. This may change throughout the school year, but as of now, that is the plan. 4. Students should bring their instruments to school every day when it is their in-person day. They will have to take their instrument home with them after school that day to complete assignments on remote days. While at school, students may leave their instruments in the band room on the designated instrument shelf. 5. We will be utilizing GoogleClassroom for nearly all assignments throughout the school year. Students joined the classroom during class the past two days, but in case they aren't on there, the codes are as follows: 6th Grade Woodwinds/Percussion - k7bpdlb 6th Grade Brass - cuvfdhc I think that's all for this update! Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions you may have! Musically yours -- Michaela Davis |
