UVU High School Day of Dance Field Trip Reminder

Reminder of the all day school excused field trip THIS FRIDAY!

You must have turned in your signed permission form and your paid receipt in order to attend.

Since you are taking 2 dance classes, one of them can count towards participation make-up work.  You will also be attending an informal performance, which can count as a concert report, since it is college-level.

Make sure you read your permission form with all the details for when to meet the bus (7:15 AM), what to bring (clothes and lunch), etc.

Look forward to going on this fun filled day-of-dance with you on Friday!  Let's represent Lone Peak!
~ Mrs. Di Lello

WELCOME STUDENTS!

Welcome to a new year here at Lone Peak High School!

I look forward to having you in my classes and learning from each of you.  This is going to be a great year with new opportunities and excitement!

First day of class you DO NOT NEED TO WEAR DANCE/WORK-OUT CLOTHES.  We will be going through the disclosure document, Concurrent Enrollment (for Dance 3), checking out locks, and getting to know each other.

Your second time you have the class you will be expected to come with appropriate attire and supplies.  Come with an open mind and an open heart, ready to live and learn and dive right in.

I love what I do and am passionate about dance and education.  I hope we can finding something new each day as we progress on our journey.  It is not about getting to the end, but what we do and learn along the way.


See you all next week!
Don't hesitate to contact me via email if you have any questions!

End of Semester 1 / Term 2

Hello!

I want to apologize for my absence on Friday Jan 11th.  The previous evening I went into the after hours emergency with my son, and we were both tested positive for the bad respiratory flu A that is going around and I was strictly prohibited to go to school.

Please check your grades.
If you turned things in late, I will get them in when I go to school on Monday.
Monday is the last day to turn in any make up work.

Dance 2, 3, and Company:
Many of you have neglected to turn in a concert report!  This was something I warned everyone about at the start of the year to not forget.  This is hurting your grade.  If you also have a lot of absences or have not completed a test, this will also hurt your grade.

Feel free to email me if you have questions or want to turn in work via email.


I hope you all are well.

Dance 2 and Social Dance, I will miss you and I have enjoyed having you in class!  I hope to have you in another class of mine soon!

Mrs. D

WELCOME

 I am excited for a new start to a new school year!

I have lots to teach you and I know you have lots you can teach me too.  This year I hope that we can not only learn all about all the aspects of dance, but that we can also learn how to be inquisitive, problem-solving, creative, active and fun loving people who care about each other. It is my hope that we can all try and "turn over a new leaf" in our own lives to work a little harder, and to be a little better.

 Dance and teaching is my passion. I hope to share my passion with you and most importantly, I hope that you can come away from my class having learned something that you can take away with you and use for the rest of your life (even if you are not going to be a "dancer")

I want you to succeed. Please come positive with an open mind and ready to learn.

Welcome Back to School!
Mrs. Krista Di Lello
