Question from Allison Conti
"Thank you for your reply. I'm interested to know then if we'd plan all other aspects of that day as we do for the other grades? To be clear were other parts of the day thought about when we moved it back and considered higher time amounts for specific or all contents as it's an elementary school?
Is band, chorus, orchestra offered the amount that makes sense for a sixth grade ELEMENTARY program? Or has the district still using junior high model in this?
Is the special Ed services offered for the ICT model consistent with what is offered to other grades or have we kept the same program we used in the junior high program but now with an elementary curriculum model (i.e. readers and math workshop) Thanks again for your timely reply”
To elaborate on the response provided on October 16, sixth-grade students receive general music and have the option to participate in band, orchestra, or chorus. Students receive one period per cycle in band, two periods per cycle for orchestra, and one or two periods per cycle.
chorus. The amount of time provided in each area of music instruction meets or exceeds the requirements outlined by New York State. The junior high school program is scheduled according to units of study and students in grades 7 and 8 receive a ½ unit credit in band or chorus each year.
The junior high model is based on seat time of the student in the music program.
