Part Eight
Communication & reference
17Communication & how to reach me
I use several channels so nothing gets missed:
- Email — [email protected]
- ParentSquare — the district's parent-communication platform
- The PCS Band website — schedules, forms, listening examples, and performance timelines
- Morning announcements — for time-sensitive reminders
- Posted schedules — in classrooms, the cafeteria, and the band room
- Handouts — for beginners and event-specific notices
The band website is the single best place to find lesson schedules, the performance timeline for the year, forms, and audio/video help for the music we're rehearsing.
Quick reference
Tear this page out and stick it on the fridge.
