Grading Information
All of the teachers in Tempe Elementary use an online grading system through Synergy. Your 5th grade classroom teacher should be able to give you information for logging in as a parent and viewing your child's grade information at any time. My orchestra grades and assignments are also posted through this system. I try to input data weekly.
Students receive two music grades every quarter. One is an Effort grade and the other is Letter grade. I base the Effort grade on weekly participation in the class. This category includes bringing the instrument and book to each class as well as participating in class on the instrument and during class discussions. Students can lose participation if they forgot the instrument or book or if they disrupt the class with negative behavior. The Letter grade is based on written work, playing tests, and technique quizzes. Concert attendance is also part of a student's letter grade.

Middle School orchestra
Tempe Middle Schools have wonderful music programs that I would strongly encourage you to consider joining. Students in the Connolly, Mosley, and Fees orchestra program perform in fun concerts, go on a field trip, and develop advanced skills on their instrument. In 8th grade, orchestra students have the opportunity to go on an overnight field trip to Disneyland.
Tempe also has two K8 schools: Shamley and Ward. These schools focus on smaller groups of middle school students and provide a different experience from our larger middle schools. These schools also have fun music programs, including strings. Orchestra classes at K8 schools also perform concerts, go on field trips, and learn advanced skills on their instrument.

Tempe Symphony

The city of Tempe has a Symphony that performs four free concerts every year. Three of these performances are held at the Tempe Center for the Arts in downtown Tempe. This is a great opportunity to take your family to a free concert and see what an adult group looks and sounds like.
