School Directory : Homework/Grading Policies : Ms. Senska

Philosophy of Homework Classroom music provides all students with musical opportunities and experiences that encourage appreciation, the development of basic knowledge, and the exploration of talent. It exists to bring all students into an interactive relationship with music at a level commensurate with their abilities and involves thinking, performing, composing, listening, and observing. With the exceptions of performances at concerts and graduation, work outside of class will not be required of students not electing to participate in special activities and performances. Grading Policy As there is a wide variance in the musical aptitudes of children and because these classes meet only twice per week, the classroom music grade simply measures an assessment of current musical learning outcomes against a prior assessment. I generally post my grades to the Parent Portal by Friday. Schedule I am at Sanborn Central on Orange Days.
