WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 11

THEORY
This week’s theory assignment is note and rest names.  You will find it on Classmarker on Monday. 

GRADES
The gradebook has been updated. Make sure you are keeping up on homework and turning in your work.  The end of the grading period is next Friday, September 22.

If you have a grade issue, please complete this form:  http://tinyurl.com/gradefixes.  I update grades on Thursdays and Sundays only and will get to it/respond when I do my next update.

TOUR
The first payment for our tour is due this Friday!  Please fill out this form if you're planning to go.  Chaperones must fill this out as well!

6TH PERIOD TA?
Help!  I am in desperate need of a TA for Choral Union.  Is anyone available?  Tell me right away!

LISTENINGS
Even if you are absent, you are expected to keep up on your listening assignments.  There is a page on this site where you can listen to any missed examples.  Click here to go there now.  Remember, blogging is worth 20% of your grade.  Make sure you get it done.

This Friday is our first peer edit! We will practice grading them in class so you know what to expect.
