Donations
This year Hyde is changing how they collect donations. Rather than collecting donations from each elective class, there will be one donation that supports all electives. The donations will be collected through ParentSquare. See below for information on how to donate.
Just like in years past, the band relies on your donations to keep the program running. While the format for you to donate has changed, it is just as critical as it is every year. A sampling of some of the costs to running a band program are: the student band book (about $12 per student), sheet music (about $85 per piece), repairs to instruments ($50 to $1,200 per instrument), countless accessories and supplies ($5 to $100), and replacing instruments ($500 to $6,000). I hope you will consider donating to our elective programs.
Dear Hyde Middle School Parents and Guardians,
Thank you for your ongoing support of Hyde Middle School. We are committed to providing a high-quality educational experience for all our students, and your partnership is invaluable.
At Hyde Middle School, our diverse elective programs are designed to ignite students' passions and provide invaluable hands-on learning experiences. We are proud to offer a wide range of electives that empower students to apply their classroom learning in engaging, practical environments.
We are unique as the only middle school in the district to offer both Wood and Metal Shops.
Furthermore, unlike other CUSD middle schools, we ensure our sixth graders have the opportunity to participate in all our electives.
Donations are voluntary, and no child will be denied participation in our programs. CUSD provides all necessary supplies for student learning, however we appreciate any contribution you are able to make. Your support enables us to enhance these unique programs and provide additional resources that directly benefit our students.
