Welcome to Dodgen, 6th Grade Families!  On the first day of school, all 6th grade students will meet their academic teachers and then attend a concert in the theater that very afternoon.

This orientation assembly will introduce all our phenomenal connections teachers and begin to show you what is so special about Dodgen Music. 

During the next three days of school, students will complete their orientation by visiting Chorus, Orchestra, and Band, and will then be eligible to sign up for one of these three groups starting the afternoon of Tuesday, August 6th!
