Dear Actors & Families,
Hey from home! I hope this note finds you well and adjusting to a modified schedule these next few weeks. UPDATES ON SPRING THEATRE EVENTS & LEARNING UNITS: While it's too early to say what the year-end schedule will look like just yet, it is safe to say that the R-P Admin. & Staff will be working with officials on keeping us posted as they are able. We will be reviewing rescheduling possibilities, but again, too early to give any specifics. These include the following Theatre Activities & Learning Units: Storytime at Central Performance (postponed until further notice), Hairspray the Musical (postponed until further notice for those involved), & end of the year One-Act Play (TBA). I wanted to provide you with some fun, related activities that you can do at home to stay theatrical & connected during this time away. These optional activities are intended to extend our learning in class and give you some fun ways to stay engaged over the weeks. All activities will be posted & can be responded to on Google Classroom! When we return to school we will have a Coronocation Share Day of all the things we kept up on over the weeks a part. GOOGLE CLASSROOM CODES: Though you should already be signed-up for Google Classroom, here again are the Sign-Up Codes for each Class:
The materials & enrichment ideas will cover the following Learning Units normally covered in Class over the next (3) weeks. The hope is that we can pick-up where we left on upon return in April:
Please check Google Classroom over the course of the coming weeks to view and complete related activities. Until then, I miss you, stay well and stay creative! ~Mrs. Ross

Dear Singers & Families,
Hey from home! I hope this note finds you well and adjusting to a modified schedule these next few weeks. UPDATES ON SPRING EVENTS: While it's too early to say what the year-end schedule will look like just yet, it is safe to say that the R-P Admin. & Staff will be working with officials on keeping us posted as they are able. We will be reviewing rescheduling possibilities, but again, too early to give any specifics. These include the following: Festival of Choirs Concert, Hairspray the Musical, Middle School Nite at HS Pops Concert and end of year festivities such as the Finale Choir Event, etc. In the meantime, I wanted to provide you with some fun & educational ideas to stay musical and connected during this time away. These optional activities are intended to extend our learning in class and give you some fun ways to stay engaged over the weeks. All activities will be posted & can be responded to on Google Classroom & will be posted once a day! When we return to school we will have a Coronocation Share Day of all the things we kept up on over the weeks a part. GOOGLE CLASSROOM CODES: Though you should already be signed-up for Google Classroom, here again are the Sign-Up Codes for each Class:
MUSICAL MONDAY: I will post a Video, Activity or Question revolving around the R-PMS Musical, "Hairspray". TIK TOK TUESDAY: Make & share a Tik Tok using the prompt given. WE-HEARSE WEDNESDAY: "We-hearse" = (Rehearse) Wednesday. Review Rehearsal Tracks & Choreography Videos posted on Google Classroom. This can be done a few minutes every day, but we will focus on a few specific ones on Wednesdays. Character Lines: If you are a Hairspray character that has LINES to memorize...this is your chance to finish the show! Time is truly a gift! Facetime a friend, record character lines but leave out your own so you have someone to rehearse with, read with a family member...there are many options to THEORY THURSDAY: Not only are R-PMS Students great SINGERS, but great MUSICIANS as well. Each Thursday, there will be a link for you to practice your Music Literacy Skills...fundamentals are the foundation, guys. For reelz. These will include: Kahoot Quizes, Musictheory.net activities as well as Sightreading Factory. Stay tuned! FRIEND FRIDAY: Friend Friday...is exactly what it sounds like. Great Music-Making is only possible when we see ourselves as a TEAM...the US in chorUS. I can't think of a better time to stay connected to each other using the only means we currently have: Technology. Stay tuned for ideas on how we can share our Good Things and check in on one another during the shut-down. All this to say, I miss you guys and look forward to hearing from you in the coming days and weeks! Sing-cerely, Mrs. Ross Dear Parents and Students~
