Music: Lyrics Analysis
Students in Ms. Vinsonhaler's MYP3 Music Class were asked to evaluate lyrics from a song. They identified the theme of a song, described the song's impact on the listener and completed a visual analysis. The visual analysis required them to select a line from the song and illustrate the lyric.
To the left is an example of a visual analysis completed by Jaycee F. Below we have examples from Kai M. and Nicole M.

Reminders & Updates From The Principal Julie Do, MS Principal
Dear Parents,
By now many of you have seen the update from our Head of School about our return to face-to-face instruction for the Middle School on Monday, September 21. If your child selected face-to-face learning and you would now like to opt for distance learning please complete this FORM before September 18th. If you would like to discuss further the options, please don't hesitate to contact me as I recognize that there may be extenuating circumstances which families may need additional support with.
Next week we will be emailing home additional information and reminders about our safe return to campus. In the interim please don't hesitate to contact the MS Office with any questions. We look forward to the students return to campus.
Advice For Emailing A Teacher
Here is some good advice to share with your child about emailing their teachers. We encourage all the MS students to advocate for themselves and to become competent at emailing their teachers when they have a question, are going to miss class, or have a specific need that can't be addressed during a distance learning session.
