Fifth Grade Families:
This year, your child has the opportunity to be a part of the Delaware City 
Schools Orchestra Program. Fifth grade families with students interested in joining orchestra are asked to complete the DCS Beginning Orchestra Form and attend the DCS Beginning Orchestra Family Meeting virtually on Tuesday, 
August 31st at 7 PM (This meeting will be recorded and available afterwards).

Students saw/will see the Be a Part of the Orchestra Video during school on Friday to learn about each of the string instruments. If you would like to read about the benefits of learning a string instrument in school, check out Why Strings? by the American String Teachers Association. 
It is important that you complete your student's Back to School Forms. This insures that we have the most reliable, up to date information regarding your 
child in our system.


The forms can be completed by logging into your
 PowerSchool Parent Portal  (Click here for instructions).

If you need assistance logging into your account, please call the Schultz office at 
740-833-1400.
