Visual and Performing Arts Program (VAPA)
VAPA (Visual and Preforming Arts)
During the school year the district will be implementing our new VAPA program. The VAPA program gives access to VAPA opportunities to all students in kindergarten through fifth grade by a credentialed fine arts teacher. Students in kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades will participate in VAPA activities every other week, while student in 4th and 5th grades will participate in weekly VAPA activities. VAPA will vary for each grade level. VAPA may include such activities as art, music, singing, theater, band and orchestra. As we are entering the first year of the program, the district will be refining and modifying as appropriate.
Band & Orchestra
The Elementary Instrumental Music Program offers year long instruction in woodwind, brass, and string instruments to 4th and 5th grade students. Band and orchestra will be offered during the weekly VAPA time slated for 4th and 5th grades. Participation in Elementary Instrumental Music Program builds foundational skills for future music education and promotes self-confidence, teamwork, school engagement, and overall higher academic achievement.
