The School Division, recognizing the importance and value of the involvement of students in activities that broaden their physical and intellectual development, supports the pursuit of musical competence by way of private music instruction. However, the primary responsibility of the School Division is to the instructional program prescribed by Manitoba Education.

In order to accommodate private music instruction within the school day, parents, students and private music instructors are expected to arrange for private music instruction according to the following guidelines.

1. Private music lessons may be taken during activity and student periods only, at a location other than the school.

 

2. Permission shall be subject to a written request to the School Principal from the parents of the student concerned.

 

3. There shall be no interference with the academic timetable.

 

4. The privilege of using study periods for private music lessons shall not in any way jeopardize the student’s academic responsibilities.

The Board of Trustees does not approve of students leaving school during class time and therefore parents are expected to arrange private music instruction at times other than during regular school hours.
