Welcome to Back to School Night!
In addition to my video, here's a brief description of how we will be holding choir and orchestra classes safely. We will always be masked (even singers) and spaced as far apart as possible. We will have class outside whenever possible (my room has a door that opens out to the administrators lot). The larger orchestra classes will be held in the auditorium, so we have more room to spread out. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out - jmillar@tenafly.k12.nj.us
