Dear Parents, Guardians, and Families,
I am happy to be returning to teach music once again at Visitation Academy. I am so excited that this school year 2022-2023 all students will be able to have Music in the Music room.
This year in the classroom, your student will be once again introduced to QuaverEd. QuaverEd is a nationally-recognized online platform. Each of the four curriculum products — QuaverMusic, QuaverReady, Quaver Pre-K, and QuaverHealth•PE — is designed to provide students with a Seriously Fun Education. Each product is designed with elementary school students in mind. Throughout the year I’ll use engaging songs, activities, lessons, interactives, and prompts. Many lessons offer music and movement - it’s sure to be a great year!
QuaverEd resources are trusted in over 18,000 schools, with nearly four million students engaged. It is a nationally recognized leader and is loved by students, teachers, and parents worldwide. I’m sure you’ll hear more songs and activities in the months to come.
I’m very excited to offer this resource to my classes. If you have additional questions, please don’t hesitate to ask me or visit QuaverEd.com for more information. Visit https://www.quavered.com to learn more about this Seriously Fun curriculum.
