New Practice Logs

After reassessing our current Practice Log method, the kids and I have decided to switch from the school planners to a separate sheet of paper. The new Practice Log should be kept in the music folder/binder and updated each day. The goal is to reach a minimum of 60 minutes of practice time each week. Logs will be collected and recorded in PowerSchool each Monday and returned on Tuesday. No parent signature is required on the new log, we are working on the honor system. The grade will still be logged as a "Learning Behavior." 

60 min or more = C

Less than 60 = S

0 minutes or no Log = R
You can view the new log here: Practice Log
