Goals for OUR Band
Together we will create an atmosphere of mutual respect.
We want to be a community where everyone is welcome.
We will support each other and help everyone reach their full potential
All students will work to be their best.
We all count on each other to reach OUR full potential
Mr. McElroy and Mr. Quintero’s Pledge
We expect all students to grow and improve as musicians.
We will give you the support necessary to grow and improve.
Sign up on the office door or use the Owl’s Nest Box (see below) to get extra help
Your grade will reflect your effort/growth and participation, not your talent.
The Owl’s Nest Box is the place to give your feedback. For example:
“I really like ________; can we try to do that more?”
“I don’t like it when _____________”
“I could use some extra help with _________”
Everyone will:
Demonstrate respect with our words, voice, tone, and body language
Follow directions the first time
Keep hands feet and objects to ourselves
Be prepared to learn/teach
Keep our band room and equipment clean
