Hello parents!
Welcome to the Reedy Creek Chorus website. This website is meant to keep everyone up to date on what is going on in chorus. I will still send all information home with chorus students in paper form. The chorus website will serve as a second home for this information in order to eliminate any confusion about when we will be meeting. If for whatever reason I should need to cancel chorus practice, I will post it on the main page of the chorus website by 10pm the night before. Please note that due to a snow day or delayed weather opening, chorus practice will be cancelled.

Below you will find a copy of the welcome letter that was sent home with all chorus students:
Hello parents! You are receiving this letter because your child will be joining the Reedy Creek Chorus this fall. Chorus is made up of 4th and 5th grade students who love to sing and who want to perform. We will rehearse once a week and will have at least two performances this semester. Chorus practices on Thursday mornings at 8:00am. Since this is before school, parents must provide transportation. This means that if your child is a bus rider, they must have someone drive them to school on chorus days. Our first rehearsal will be on Thursday, September 17th. Chorus students will enter the building through the front doors no earlier than 7:45. They will then walk to the music room, where our rehearsals will be held. Schedules will be passed out at our first rehearsal.
Please understand that being a part of the Reedy Creek Chorus is a privilege and a responsibility. I will hold all chorus members to a high standard of moral and academic conduct. This means that I expect all students to attend rehearsals and to be on time. This also means that I expect all students to act as role models during our regular music classes.
I understand that absences will occur throughout the year, but I ask that you please email me if your child is going to miss chorus. I will excuse the absence if I receive an email. The rest of the group depends on the involvement of all of its members at both rehearsals and performances. Please take note that after two unexcused absences from practice, your child will be removed from the chorus roster. Please also note that two unexcused tardies will equal one absence. Everyone will start the year with perfect attendance. Due to a large number of absences at our spring performance last year, I am forced to amend the attendance policy. If your child is going to miss a chorus performance, for whatever reason, I must receive an email or note no later than 8am that morning. Failure to contact me in regards to a performance absence will result in your child’s removal from the chorus roster.
The Reedy Creek Chorus has a website in order to keep everyone up to date on what is going on in chorus. The website can be found at http://reedycreekchorus.weebly.com. This website will be updated weekly. I will still send information home in paper form for those students who do not have internet access. The chorus website will serve as a second home for this information in order to eliminate any confusion about when we will be meeting. If for whatever reason I should need to cancel chorus practice, I will post it on the chorus website by 10pm the night before. Please note that due to a snow day or delayed weather opening, chorus practice will be cancelled.
I look forward to working with your child this year. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or concerns. My email address is [email protected]
Warm regards,
Honor Morgan Smith
