     behavior. Below is a list:

       other for showing 5 Rs (Pizza

     perform their best on these tests.
     Also, a reminder that 4th and 5th         25- 3rd quarter PBIS reward day and last day of fundraiser
     grade students take two sessions of
     English Language Arts and two             Pictured Below: Community partners from Calvary Church

                                               surprised the sta with popcorn and treats on Valentine’s Day.
     Additionally, 5th grade students take
     two sessions of Science. Kids should
     follow these guidelines:

     • Don’t stay up late. Being active
       earlier in the day (not right before
       bedtime) can help your child get to
       sleep.

     • Eat healthy meals. This will provide
       energy at test time.

     • Wear a favorite out t. Your child
       should pick one that makes him
       feel con dent and comfortable.

     • Learn to relax. Some kids nd it
       helpful to close their eyes and take
       a few deep breaths before a test.
       Others like to imagine a peaceful
       place.

     • Be positive. Expect to do well and
       encourage your child.

     • Face fears. Feeling anxious is
       normal so talking about the fear
       can reassure the student.

                                                                                                            2

      MAUMEE MUSIC @ GATEWAY MIDDLE SCHOOL
Hello Maumee Fifth Graders and Parents/ Guardians,

       In the Maumee City School system, students have the exciting opportunity to start band, orchestra or choir in 6th grade!!
We have some IMPORTANT DATES TO SHARE about music opportunities for GMS:
March 21-24-- Gateway MS Music Teachers will visit Wayne Trail Music Classes to share about music options at Gateway
March 29- 5th Graders visit MHS PAC for a performance by MHS students during school
March 29- 4-7pm Instrument Test Drive in MHS PAC (Come see, feel and try out as many instruments as you’d like- Bring a Parent!!)
March 30 4-6pm Instrument Test Drive (Make up day if students are not ab

        Our hope is that MANY students will continue in the music programs offered at Gateway Middle School! Music classes
meet every day. There are MANY benefits to music classes including improved social skills and academic performance. Plus, IT’S A
LOT OF FUN!! :-)
        6th graders have a choice in what music class they take. Their choices are: Band, Orchestra, Choir or Non-Music Elective.
All other classes (math, science, etc) are scheduled for them. If a student would like to try two music classes, they should pick one
for now and we will do our best to accommodate that opportunity later in 6th grade to alternate days.
        Students & Parents may look at instruments at Rettig Music (5950 Airport Hwy- Across from Old Navy), All Star Music
(2025 S. Byrne, Toledo 43614) or Instrument Care Center (319 S. Main St, Findlay OH 45840).
        For instrument purchase, we recommend any of the stores listed above, but you are welcome to shop around. However,
we do ask that you be careful if purchasing online. No oddly colored instruments: pink, purple, green etc are not allowed! These
are typically low quality instruments that may be intended as toys. Ask a music teacher before purchasing online-- there are
“deals” to be found on used instruments, but there are also many “rip-offs” online for cheap!! Please reach out to one of us if
looking to purchase used instruments-- we’d be happy to offer an opinion and help you find something used that is a quality
instrument!
        Most students will purchase or rent their own instruments. However, if a family is unable to purchase an instrument,
please contact one of us- we can help! We have a limited number of school owned instruments. We can’t guarantee that we can
provide your first choice of instrument, but we are certain we can provide you with something to play if you are unable to
purchase/ rent on your own!

In Maumee, we start:
Band Instrument Choices:                                                  Orchestra Instrument Choices:
Flute                           Trumpet                                   Violin
Clarinet                        Trombone                                  Viola
Alto Saxophone                  Baritone                                  Cello
Percussion (bells & drum pad) French Horn                                 String Bass
(Students can switch to Tuba, French Horn, Oboe, Bassoon, etc later)

BOLD Instruments are preferred instruments for beginners!

By the time school starts in August 2022, your child will need 2 things if they are joining band or orchestra: an instrument and
their music book. Choir students do not need to purchase a book.

Orchestra uses “Essential Elements Book 1” for Strings
Band uses “Habits of a Successful Beginner Band Musician” (Green Book)

Remember: All 5th grade students will need to make their choice between band, choir, orchestra or non-music so GMS Counselors
Mrs. Potts & Mr. Tapley can get them scheduled for classes at Gateway! Questions? Email us (preferred) or call Gateway
419-893-3386. Mrs. Potts and Mr. Tapley will be the ones who actually schedule your student’s classes– we just show you what the
music options are!
