August Newsletter

Andy Horton — Tue, 16 Aug 2022 14:07:29 +0000

August is here!

We're all getting in the rhythm of the new school year, taking new classes and singing new music! I've been so happy to start at Conroe and Caney Creek and look forward to seeing Oak Ridge Students later this week!

Every Month, I'll make a calendar of my teaching schedule that looks like this one. Yellow indicates a Conroe Day, Purple indicates a Caney Creek day (because it's Ms. Robertson's favorite color), and the red and Blue days reflect OR Red and Blue days. I will post this schedule as well as a list of who goes in what class in two places: on the student/parent portal and in each classroom. If you ever have a question of when your lesson will be, please consult these places!

Here are some important days in August:

August 15 & 16 - First days of lessons at Conroe High School. There are limited spots remaining at Conroe!

August 17 - First day of lessons at Caney Creek High School. Don't forget to fill out the registration form if you signed up in class!

August 18 & 19 - First day of lessons at Oak Ridge High School AND Andy's sings for each class.

August 23 - Andy gives a singing presentation at Conroe High School.

August 29 - Andy is out of town!

When Andy is out of town, you will still receive the amount of lessons that you pay for - 30 throughout the year. This has already been added to the schedule and will not be "made up"! If we need to make up a lesson for another reason, that's up to YOU to talk to Andy and schedule it.

I am so excited to see you all again, and get started on this new year of music making! As always, reach out if you have any questions or concerns!

Happy August!
