Parents, Guardians, Friends, and Families,

     We hope you are healthy and taking all precautions to keep everyone out of harm's way.  The unprecedented and abrupt closure of school has left everyone, teachers included, with more questions than we have answers. The situation is fluid and changing day by day.  As our school and district work their way through the uncertainty (special thanks to our Brookwood admin team!), please know that we will continue to communicate with you and our students as we navigate the remainder of the school year.  We have often said that our program is more than a class.  It's a family.  And families help one another.  If there is anything we can do to be of service during these difficult times, we stand ready, able, and willing.  Hang in there, everyone, and remind your child to practice every once in a while!

Students,

     First and foremost, let us say that we miss you all and look forward to a time when we can all play music together again.  While you might be reveling in days away from school, some of your peers are nervous and concerned.  Now is a great time to reach out to your section members and let them know you are thinking of them.  We know that you all have questions related to canceled events, the remainder of this year, and plans for next. Please remember that we are working on these issues and will be in touch as our next steps become clearer.  Continue checking into Google Classroom for daily assignments and weekly discussions.  Hang in there, and remember to practice every now and then!

     Stay safe, and we will be in touch as more information becomes available.
Sincerely,

​Philip Reesman and Megan Kendall, Directors
