Music Parents
Parents have an important role to play in supporting student learning. Studies show that students perform better in school if their parents or guardians are involved in their education. By becoming familiar with the curriculum, parents can find out what is being taught in each subject and what their child is expected to learn. This awareness will enhance parents' ability to discuss schoolwork with their child, to communicate with teachers, and to ask relevant questions about their child's progress. Knowledge of the expectations in the various subjects also helps parents to interpret their child's report card and to work with teachers to improve their child's learning.

Class Rules and Regulations
All Long Range Plans provide parents with a detailed agenda on what will be covered each week in class.
The Student Evaluation Form is your child's ticket to graduating from the music program at EPESCS and SDSS. It allows for accommodations and modifications in music that normally would never exist. For example, a student who is still reading music at a grade 2 level while in the junior music program may still participate in music. The program will be modified to meet their needs!

Extra-Curricular Program
We are pleased to announce the growth of the Music Program at EPESCS and SDSS. We take pride in creating a program designed to prepare students for the future. Our philosophy is simple: teamwork, hard work, and discipline. We are currently building up a string program that will begin with a class set of ukuleles for the junior division, and eventually introduce guitars to the intermediate division.
