SPECTRUM HIGH SCHOOL
NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS
- It's that time of the year -- Spectrum Chamber Wind Auditions! All students that have three years or more of playing experience in band can audition for the new group.
Spectrum's Chamber Winds is comprised of the best wind and percussion students and is geared towards students that want more of a challenge in their musical ability. Students that are currently enrolled in Wind Ensemble have all their audition materials on Schoology. Students that are NOT currently enrolled in Wind Ensemble and still would like to audition for Chamber Winds must email Ms. Grace for the materials needed. Auditions will take place May 4 - May 8 via video recording. If students would rather be in the Wind Ensemble, they will NOT have to audition but will still need the required playing experience to get into the group.
- Those interested in being in High School Choir next school year (2020-2021), will need to contact and submit an audition to Mrs. Bird. Auditions will take place during the first 2 weeks of May and will include vocal exercises, sight-reading and singing of a popular piece.
Please contact Mrs. Bird (mbird@spectrumhighschool.org) if you are interested in being in High School choir next year and for more information
about auditions.

Questions: (1) Will distance learning continue until the end of the school year and, if so, (2) when should my student pick up the rest of his or her belongings?
Answer(s):
(1) Spectrum will follow guidance provided by the Governor and Commissioner of Education regarding distance learning and students returning to the school buildings. As of April 4th, the plan remains for on-campus school to restart on Tuesday, May 5th.
(2) In keeping with the current "stay-at-home" executive order from the Governor (through April 10), Spectrum has very limited staff on site at random times during the school week. If a student needs items in order to successfully complete school work for distance learning, they should contact David Steinhauser, Facilities Manager, at dsteinhauser@spectrumhighschool.org to coordinate a pick up.
-
Will students have required work to complete for 4th quarter Service Learning? No. Due to the limitations imposed by distance learning and the narrow timeline available to adapt curriculum and plans to connect with community organizations during this challenging time, Spectrum feels it is in the students’ best interest to have Service Learning end after the 3rd quarter (March 20th) - with no Service Learning requirements in 4th quarter.
Note: We recognize that this may impact expectations for current juniors as they are preparing for and implementing their senior capstone legacy plan. More information will follow at a later time as adjustments are made to accommodate this change.
As found in Spectrum’s mission, Community Outreach is a pillar of our identity as a school. Service Learning is an important aspect of that outreach, and will remain an integral part of our curriculum as we move into the 2020/2021 school year.

Thank you for working with us to make sure distance learning is successful! If you haven’t already done so, please watch the student expectations video here.
-
Spectrum is suggesting that, when possible, students should log in during non-peak times such as between 7-10 a.m. and after 2 p.m. It’s not ideal, but Schoology is more stable at these times.
-
Students are encouraged to contact their teachers if they’re struggling to get their work done - especially if it is due to access issues in Schoology. Teachers are prepared to work through it with students to help them be successful.
