News for Everyone
What Did We Do Last Week?
We also spent time discussing how to get students set up for the year and the checklist that was included in their binder on day 1. Please check with your child to ensure that they have enrolled in the correct Remind and Schoology courses. If they need Remind codes, they can be found under "Contact and Communication" on the choir website.
Schoology codes are:
Treble Choir: SC57-JCXF-M6DFZ
Tenor-Bass Choir: MFC4-KB2J-9Q43N
Chorale: 28HT-4RFN-HX3S8
Advanced Treble: BQRZ-6ZSX-5PQ35
Beginning of Year Checklist
- Paperwork: Students should have brought home a white medical release form that need to be filled out and returned in order for students to do any off-campus activity. If your child has lost their copy, they can be found on the choir website under the "Documents" tab. There are also 3 additional forms (4 for Chorale students) to be filled out in Presto Assistant.
- Fill out Shirt Sizes form.
- Sign up for class remind. Class codes can be found on the choir website under the "Contact and Communications" tab.
- Pay Choir Fee via Presto Assistant. For a description of choir fees, please see the document on the choir website under the "Documents" tab or under "Files" in Presto Assistant. Applicable fees for each student have already been added. More information about Presto Assistant is below.
Presto Assistant
All fees and most forms this year will be done via the Presto Assistant website. To access the website, please CLICK HERE. A few points below:
- If you are NEW to the THS Choir Program: You should have received an email on Friday from Presto Assistant inviting you to finishing setting up your profile. I have already created a profile for every student and the first parent listed in Skyward. The email listed in Skyward is the email that should have received the Presto email. Please follow the directions to complete your profile set up in order to pay fees and sign required forms.
- If you are a returning parent who does not remember your Presto login, please follow the directions on the website to reset your password to access your account.
- If you have multiple students and both students do not appear in your parent account, please let me know so that I can ensure they are linked correctly.
- Presto Assistant does not allow student profiles to pay choir fees or sign forms so please ensure you are able to access your account.

Chorale Updates
- Students are required to sing at Football Games listed on the choir calendar. These will all be performance grades for students. Transportation for football games is NOT provided so please begin planning now.
- Students are required to audition for the District round of the All-State process. Should they advance it is their choice whether or not to continue, but all students are required to learn the district round music that has been provided to them.
- Sectionals: Sectionals are offered for students auditioning in the All-State process. As of now they are NOT required, however, students need to be working independently and coming to sectionals for maximum success. They have practice tracks available to them in their Schoology course. While sectionals are not graded, the Mock Audition will be so please check in on your child to ensure they are practicing and working on the first round of music.
