Please fill out this audition form if interested. 
The show this year is another original storyline featuring music from a variety of countries. The show is open to 4th - 6th grade students but participation is capped at 80. Students wishing to participate in the show will need to complete this form, come to the audition, and attend rehearsals. Everyone who auditions will be offered a part in the show. 
 
Auditions will be held at Monte Vista on August 28th from 3:45-5:00 in the gym. The cast list will be emailed to you and your parent by Monday, September 1st. A full cast rehearsal will take place on Tuesday, September 2nd. 
 
Rehearsals are held Tuesdays through Thursdays from 3:45-5:00 pm, September 2nd through November 12th at Monte Vista. Not everyone will need to attend every rehearsal. Depending on what part you are cast as, most rehearsals will either be Tuesday for your group and Thursday full cast or Wednesday for your group and Thursday full cast. A full rehearsal calendar is posted on Google Classroom. Please be realistic with your commitments and make sure you have the time needed to dedicate to this show. Missing too many or critical rehearsals will affect how well you will be prepared and how well you will perform. 
 
A performance for the school will be on November 13th at 2:00 pm. Performances for family and friends will be November 13th at 6:00 pm & November 14th at 4:30 pm. More details to follow. 
 
There is no fee for participating in the school musical, but we need help paying for a couple of costume items that you will keep. If you are unable to contribute to the cost of your costume, please let Mrs. Tarpenning know.
 
Students and parents should fill out this form together and it should take about 15 minutes. Please read each section carefully and fill out 1 form per student auditioning. We hope to see you on stage! 
 
If you have any questions please reach out to Mrs. Tarpenning at dionne.tarpenning@jordandistrict.org
 
Because our rehearsal process is greatly condensed, attendance at all assigned rehearsals is essential for student and cast success. All scheduled rehearsal days will run from 3:45-4:45 pm. In November, rehearsals will go until 5:00 pm. Please look at your calendar to check for conflicts and be realistic with your student if this is something that can fit in with their schedule.

NOTICE: For Parents About Late Educational Input

We want to make sure our message is consistent for everyone who reaches out. Please read our statement below about educational input that’s submitted after the May 1st deadline. Just a reminder, the original Educational Input Survey was shared through Parent Square, email, text, Instagram, and was posted on our school website for several weeks prior to the deadline.

Dear Parent,

To help you understand our process, we want to be transparent about how classroom placements are made:

  • Our first round of class lists is built using the educational input submitted by parents before our May 1st deadline. This helps us consider specific learning needs, requests for separation, and other accommodations.
  • Next, teachers work to balance classrooms by considering special education needs, accommodations, behavior, academics, and making sure every student has a friend or peer connection.
  • After that, our administrative and special education teams review and revise the lists to ensure balanced classrooms, taking into account confidential needs, student ratios, and teacher workloads.

By the time final rosters are set, we’ve spent a lot of time making sure each class is carefully balanced. We do receive late requests and input from parents, and while we take every one seriously, making changes at this stage is very difficult because of the impact on the balance we’ve worked hard to create. In some cases, we find that a request has already been addressed.

Since our rosters are balanced at this point, we aren’t able to make changes right now. If a spot opens up or circumstances change before the school year starts, we’ll reach out to you directly.

Thanks again for your understanding and for your care and advocacy. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know.

Best, 

Mrs. Gleave & Mr. Lovell
Principal and Assistant Principal
Monte Vista Elementary

If you have further questions or concerns, please reach out to both natalie.gleave@jordandistrict.org and andrew.lovell@jordandistrict.org
