While we hoped this would not happen, we have been preparing for a transition for our middle school students and staff, she wrote.
The district received word of two more positive cases at G-AMS on Monday, and the decision to move to virtual learning was based on this rapid increase, Hanks said. We should be very proud as a district for the amount of time we have had in-person, and we know that the relationships that have developed will ease this transition for students, Hanks wrote. If at any time you or your child have questions or need support, please do not hesitate to contact the teachers. Our staff has committed to working with families and students to maximize the virtual learning setting to continue on course . Thank you for your continued support as we pivot between virtual and in-person learning this year.

Until the run-throughs prior to each recording session, they d never played the music together.

She is part of a five-piece woodwind ensemble that taped Monday morning.
A coffee filter was secured with electrical tape over the bell of Megan Gingrich s alto saxophone. That type of COVID mask is also used to keep spit and germs from escaping from the brass instruments. In keeping with COVID protocols, the students were socially distanced, and the performance space was sanitized after each use.
