MARCH MADNESS TYPING TOURNAMENT

Ms. Richard is conducting a March Madness Typing Tournament with the 5th graders (hence the title of the email!).  Each student will complete a 1-minute on the website linked below.  This site will score the words per minute, taking a 5 word penalty for each uncorrected error.  Students can then print out a certificate to verify their actual speed.
BAND

Dear Ryan Band Member:

I hope you enjoyed our Music Day concert last weekend. Please feel free to share any thoughts about it - format, location, timing, etc. Miss Ware and I are working to create great concert experiences for performers and audience, and we'd love your feedback.

Looking Ahead to MCAS Week

The Ryan School will be taking the MCAS the first week in April. During that week, the 6th grade will be taking it on Tuesday and the 5th Grade on Thursday. So that week, we will switch our Tuesday and Thursday lessons. So if you have your lessons during the school day on Thursday, that week it will be on Tuesday. 

Rehearsal will still be on Wednesday and Thursday. Late Lessons will still be on Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday lessons will remain the same.

Note: This is for the first week in April, NOT THIS WEEK.
