T-Shirt Update
Shirts have been ordered and I just received confirmation that they have shipped. They should arrive by the end of the week and will be handed out in class
If you have not done so already, please send in $5 (cash or check made out to "Eich Middle School")
Thank you to several parents who donated extra money to cover the cost of shirts
I did order a couple of extra shirts so if your size doesn't fit or you didn't submit an order form, we have some options. I won't know what extra sizes are available until after all shirts have been distributed.
Grades and Assessments
The end of the trimester is coming up in on February 18th.
All classes will have at least one more summative assessment between now and then.
If you are missing any assessments you have until February 18th to submit them. Anything submitted after the 18th will not be graded in time to be included in the upcoming report card.
Cell Phone Policy
Cell phones are not allowed in the music room. All cell phones must be placed in backpacks at the start of class. There are very limited exceptions to this rule and only with my direct permission (ie. Guitar players are tuning guitars). If a student has a cell phone out without permission they will get a verbal warning. After that I will place the cell phone at the front of the classroom until the end of class and email parents. If the cell phone is out again another day it becomes a major referral to the front office.
This policy is in line with our campus-wide Eich Cell Phone Policy.
Spring Trip: TBD
Typically in the spring we take a field trip to Vallejo to perform and compete in a music festival. Then we spend the rest of the day enjoying time at the Six Flags Theme Park.
The District Office has given me a "maybe" for this event. We would need to use a district bus and they are not currently approving bus requests. However, they are hoping to be able to change that policy soon.
The cost for this trip is usually around $100.
I am hoping to be able to make a final decision on this event by the end of February.
Eich Bands @ the River Cats: April 24th
The Eich bands will be performing the National Anthem at the River Cats Baseball game on Sunday, April 24th! All members of the Advanced and Intermediate Bands are invited to participate. All music families are invited to attend.

Eich Advanced Band @ Oakmont HS: April 7th
The Advanced Band will be performing a concert with the Oakmont Band and Fresno State Wind Ensemble on Thursday, April 7th in the Oakmont Theater. We will perform on our own and then combine with Oakmont for one piece. This is a great way for us to make connections with our future bandmates and have the opportunity to work with the new Oakmont Director, Ms. Mello.
