We're excited to offer Strings instruction for Elementary & Middle School students!  This program, included in tuition, takes place before school (7:30-8:15 a.m.) in the Fine Arts Cottage and is run by Music Teacher Dr. Carissa Gibson. Those interested should email Carissa indicating interest and instrument preference (violin, viola, or cello) no later than Monday, August 14.

• A schedule based on interest will be developed and shared, with once-weekly instruction beginning August 21.
• In order to ensure all participants make the most progress, Springmont's Strings Program has a strict attendance policy – students may not miss more than 3 sessions per semester.
• Springmont provides instruments and supplies, but students will be asked to provide their own all-black concert attire.

Beginning Strings - (Limited to 12 students on a first-come, first-served basis) - This class is open to Elementary students who have not played before. Students may elect to play the violin, viola, or cello, based on availability. Students will work on posture and technique and be able to play a simple piece at our May 2 recital. Regular attendance is required as it is important for learning and growth.

Intermediate Strings - This class is for returning students who would like to continue their Strings studies. Students will work on technique, scales, and pieces and will perform at our December 7 and May 2 recitals. Regular attendance is required as it is important for learning and growth.

Chamber Orchestra - Advanced students will be invited to join our Chamber group. Regular attendance is required as it is important for the group to have all members present for each class. Students will perform at our December 7 and May 2 recitals.

Primary Half Day and Primary School Day students may be enrolled in before-school care (Early Morning Care) in the Media Center 7:30-8:15 a.m. for $10/day. (Before-school care for All Day Primary students is included in All Day tuition and provided in the student's classroom.)

Springmont offers Elementary & Middle School students before-school care (Early Morning Care) in the Media Center 7:30-8:15 a.m., and after-school care (Extended Day) 3:00/3:15-6:00 p.m. Elementary and Middle School families may select from 2 payment options:

• The first is a flat fee of $4320 for the entire school year – this allows a student to use Early Care 7:30-8:15 and Extended Day 3:00/3:15-6:00 as much as needed for the one annual fee, which can be added to your payment plan now. With this plan, parents do not have to register their children in advance, and children enrolled in this option are automatically sent to Extended Day rather than carpool at the end of each school day. If you did not select this plan during Annual Registration/Enrollment and would like to add it to your Elementary or Middle School student's enrollment, please email Andrea Restifo by August 14.
• The second is a daily option.  Parents may register their child (by 6 a.m. daily) as needed for Early Care ($10/day) and/or Extended Day ($15/hour billed in 15 min increments).  Families are billed monthly for the time used.  Fall Early Care and Extended Day Registration is now open and is also offered via a link in Springmont Weekly News throughout the school year.
  
  • Click here for information and registration for Early Morning Care.
  • Click here for information and registration for Extended Day. 
  • Please note that pre-registration is required for daily Early Care and Extended Day and may be done for the whole Fall semester or as the occasion/need arises.
