options do we have for this next trimester? 2. Can Simon run results two weeks later?
3. Teachers can e-mail TaLS to open/close it
Kim will check with RET.
Renee V: Why are teachers not able to get the tests run by the

Response: Students who were not present for CSA and are
taking it late.... Not a large percentage.

Greetings choral parents and guardians!
Registration materials were handed out in your student's
Cardinal CORE class yesterday, and I wanted to take a
quick moment to share a few things with you about
registering for choir.
First, choir is a three-trimester course. We know this takes
a great deal of time in your student's schedule. You may
feel like it is too much to ask when they are also trying to fit
in many other important courses. One thing to keep in
mind is that registration is not a one-year problem. Many
families look at registration and are overwhelmed because
the open boxes fill so quickly. This problem is easily fixed
when you fill in all boxes through the senior year (this grid
can be found in the orange book on page 5). Every year in
school, your student will have more and more time to fill
and if you save some classes for later (health, for example),
you will find there is plenty of time to fit in choir for all four
years.
Second, this registration does not reflect your student's
placement into an ensemble for next year. They should
register for Choir Level II, all year, to show their
commitment to continuing in the choral program. The one
week process happening now only shows whether your
student has choir as one of their top two electives. The
placement process will not begin until February and is
conducted in class over a number of assignments.
Lastly, many studies have shown the deep benefits of
studying music. The video in the following link addresses
8/9 8/17 8/22 9/6 9/12 9/19 10/3 10/10 10/31 11/7 11/28 12/5 12/12 1/3 1/12 2/6 2/13 3/6 3/20 4/3 4/10 4/17
5/1 5/8 5/15 5/30 6/5
back to the TOP
the many benefits of musical study- and all statements

made about playing an instrument can also be applied to
singing. Please take a moment to watch this well put
together video about the many benefits of music education.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0JKCYZ8hng
Thank you for supporting your student in the arts. We
ardently believe that making music together every day
changes us into better human beings. Please do not
hesitate to call or email with any questions you have.
All the very best,
Grant McEachern

5-10 year plan Need to bring: New Review Schedule for K-12 Academic Standards (MDE)
As a result of legislation passed in 2016, the schedule for reviewing and
-Standards revision dates revising the Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards has changed (H.F.
-age of current textbooks 2749, Conference Committee Report). The legislation requires the
-quick history of UbD timelines Minnesota Department of Education to adopt, and modify as needed, the
National Standards and Grade-Level Outcomes for K-12 Physical
Education published by SHAPE America (LINK to MDE page, then click
Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards Review Schedule - 8/29/16 to
download the document). The department will convene a standards
committee during the 2016-2017 school year to review the physical
education standards and determine whether any modifications are
needed before the standards are adopted into rule. Information about the
physical education standards review process will be posted on the
department website in September and included in the Superintendents
Mail.
To accommodate this years review of the physical education standards,
the reviews of the standards in the other subject areas will be one year
later than originally scheduled. The new legislated schedule is as
follows.

counselors are hoping to discuss this at a "procedural" meeting with the High School Principals coming up.

Honors Courses? question for you regarding the district position on combining
Berry honors and regular level courses. Do any high schools combine
Civics 9 and Honors Civics 9? If so, how many follow that model?
NONE And if not, does the district encourage us to keep those two
separate even though it is the same curriculum but honors students
do have additional essay questions of the summative test and read
a book? YES
The thought behind this is to develop a more diverse student body
in an honors course. Being a building with 42% students of color,
but not having that same demographic represented in our honors
classes makes us consider alternatives to increase the interest and
diversify the sections.
I am sure Luke and Stu may bring it up to you, but could we be
considered for a pilot with this perhaps?

can infuse tablet capabilities into our lessons? That would solve so
many of our issues! I realize there probably isn't a budget for this, so

would be appropriate to start with you.
