Student Learning

1.  I need to arrive for orchestra on time and ready to work.

2.  When I enter the orchestra room, my job is to unpack my instrument, read the agenda, and put my materials in order.

I can accomplish this in two minutes.

3.  I need to raise my hand to ask a question or make a comment. Sometimes I might be asked to hold my thought.

I should also raise my hand if I need to get up out of my seat.

4.  I should speak and act respectfully toward other students and teachers.

I should be aware that my body language and eye contact should also communicate respect toward adults and other students.

I understand the orchestra room is not the place to roughhouse. I need to keep hands and feet to myself at all times, even with my friends.

5.  I need to keep my belongings out of the walkways for everyone’s safety. I need to put away my things at the end of each class and throw away my trash in the garbage can.

6.  I understand that there is no food, gum, drink, or water allowed in the orchestra room.
