Small Group Learning attendance is essential to your learner’s development on their instrument. Please, encourage them to attend. I am willing to see them at 8:20 a.m. or after school for make ups, but it is helpful for them to participate with their group during the school day. The schedule was handed out, is posted in Google Classroom, and is displayed throughout the building.
