New Website Designs Launch Dec. 19 at 12 p.m.

We are excited to announce that our district and school websites will be undergoing a design update on Thursday, Dec. 19, at 12 p.m. This update is expected to take about an hour, so our websites will be temporarily down during that time. Additionally, following the update, site visitors may need to clear their browser cache to fully access the new website design in its first few hours.

The design update will modernize our websites and make them even easier to navigate for our community, as well as to update for our staff. The new websites also synchronize with ParentSquare, making it easier to share important communications from ParentSquare to the website with just a click of a button.

Our Cedarwood band and orchestra students are working hard learning to play new music on their instruments. We had a wonderful winter concert in December and are now hard at work learning our Fundamental Skills for testing. Our testing date is Thursday, February 15^th. All 5^th and 6^th grade band and orchestra students will be tested on a scale, a song, and their sight-reading skills. On February 28^th, our 6^th graders are going on a field trip to Clovis High to listen to older music students play and learn how to sign up for band or orchestra in middle school. Finally, we will have our Spring Concert at Cedarwood in May (Date TBD) to end the year. Thank you for all your support with practice at home. Please email Mrs. Joseph (Band) or Mrs. Humphreys (orchestra) if you have any questions! [email protected] [email protected]
