The deadline to order a recorder is September 12.
4th & 5th grade students who already have a recorder from last year should turn them in to Ms. Broesder
These recorders should be in a case or gallon-sized bag labeled with the student's name, grade and teacher name.
If they are unable to turn their recorder in (lost, broken, etc), the should order a new recorder through the MSB link below.*
All 3rd Grade and new 4th & 5th grade students should order a recorder through the MSB link below*
*I strongly advise against ordering a recorder from somewhere else. Ordering through MySchoolBucks is easier, fastest and basically the same price as elsewhere. If you have questions about this, please email me (Ms. Broesder) at bbroesder@indiantrailprep.org.
What if I'm in 4th or 5th grade and lost my recorder over the summer?
You should purchase a new one through MySchoolBucks.
What if I'm in 4th or 5th grade and I'm new to UPA?
Please purchase a recorder through MySchoolBucks.
What if I'm in 3rd - 5th grade and have my own recorder (that I didn't purchase through MySchoolBucks)?
Dollar Tree recorders are NOT acceptable. In addition, I strongly advise against purchasing a recorder from somewhere else. Ordering through MySchoolBucks is easier, fastest and basically the same price as elsewhere. If you already have a quality recorder from a previous school or older sibling, you may bring that in. It should be in a case or gallon-sized ziploc bag labeled with the student name, grade and teacher name.
What if we have multiple children in our family that need recorders? Can they share a recorder?
No, each child must have their own recorder (mostly for sanitary reasons, but also for organization). However, if your child wants to use their older (MS or older) sibling's recorder who no longer need it, it just needs to be re-labeled with the 3rd-5th grade child's name.
What if I want to practice at home throughout the year?
The recorders that students bring in or purchase on MSB will stay at school all year. You will need another recorder that will stay at home if you want to practice at home throughout the year. You can either purchase that on your own, or you can purchase another recorder through the school. (If you purchase one through the school, please email me to let me know that you ordered 2 and they'll be sent home some time in October.)
After I order my recorder from MSB, when will I get it?
Recorders will not be shipped directly to students. From now until Sept 12, I'm simply collecting money through MySchoolBucks. After September 12, UPA will place a bulk order with Music & Arts and the recorders will be delivered to the school where Ms. Broesder will sort them into classes and have them ready for students to use, hopefully early October! Any student who ordered an extra recorder to keep at home will receive this recorder around the same time.
What if I miss the deadline to order a recorder?
Students who do not order a recorder and don't bring their own will be able to borrow a recorder from the school for the year. In April/May we will re-open the MySchoolBucks link in case you'd like to buy it then. If you do, your student will be able to bring their recorder home in May. If you don't, the recorder will stay at the school.
