PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT - MUSIC!
Each week, we will be highlighting one of our programs or offering resources for parents to illustrate The Radcliffe Way!
"Elemental music is never just music. It is bound up with movement, dance and speech, and so it is a form of music in which one must participate, in which one is involved not as a listener but as a co-performer." ~Carl Orff
Music at RCS is a whole brain, whole body experience. Each class session integrates the senses through tonal, rhythmic, and movement activities with the goal of creating confident, capable, creative young musicians. RCS music students share a collaborative and encouraging spirit which is forged through the Orff/Schulwerk approach to music education.

K-8 PARENT CONFERENCES
Parent conferences are quickly approaching. You will soon be receiving a questionnaire to be completed prior to the conference, which includes a choice of times to meet, two teachers you would like in attendance, and other pertinent questions.
(
The conferences on Nov. 16 and the 30 are only for students in K-7 grade.)
Conferences for eighth grade students will be individually scheduled to allow enough time to review any current testing, review academic progress, and also to discuss options for high school.
For questions regarding any aspect of conferences, testing or transitioning, please contact Debbie Cohee-Wright. For questions about SSAT testing, contact Ben Joiner.
