[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After-school band is T/W/Th, during the regular after-school activity period. Technically there are magnet activity buses, but most of the routes shuttle to Blair first, then pick up another route there.

We tried the bus thing for the first week or two of 6th grade, but even after my daughter eventually managed to find the right one (after being stranded at Blair a couple of times!), we decided it was easier for us to pick her up on those days. Between the Blair transfer and the walk home from the elementary school with her instrument, it was way too late to get homework and dinner done comfortably.

That said, she really likes Mr Puckett, and after school band in particular. It's fairly relaxed compared to the regular band classes, and as long as they're practicing at home and coming prepared every day, he's usually understanding about the occasional missed class for a project meeting or something. And they perform with the advanced band for concerts.

She generally seems to get homework done pretty easily, now that she's learned to plan ahead for those nights where she'll have less time to work on multi-day assignments.[/quote]

PP here: I should also note that after-school band is technically another class, with a grade listed on the report card. But I think as long as they're practicing at home, being attentive and cooperative in class, and uploading the occasional video assignment, Mr Puckett is fairly relaxed with the grades.[/quote]
