In “From First Note to Full Ensemble,” Supervisor of Music Orion Burke and Deep Creek Middle School chorus director Taylor Mercier share how Chesapeake’s K–12 music pathway helps students discover their voice, build confidence, and find a sense of belonging. From the first notes in elementary music class to full ensembles in middle and high school, this episode celebrates the teachers, opportunities, and experiences that help students grow as musicians and leaders. 🎙️ Listen to the episode at cpschools.com/amplified or wherever you get your podcasts!

Knight Families -
To prepare for the winter storm that may affect us this weekend, we have sent student Chromebooks home today. (Wed, Jan 28th)
The Chromebooks should stay powered off until we know if we will need them for next week. CPS will announce if we get a snow day, a virtual learning day (Asynchronous), or a live learning day (Synchronous).
Teachers will post more information in Canvas and email families - choice boards, links and directions, and Google Meet (if Synchronous).
Please keep your child's Chromebook safe - in their book bag or on a hard, flat surface like a desk or table. Off the floor, couch or bed, and away from food and drinks.
Chromebooks are used for educational purposes only! Students should not be on YouTube or playing games.
Thank you for returning the Chromebooks as soon as we return to school.
Stay warm and safe! ❄💜
Congratulations to Mrs. Julie Lincoln!! Mrs. Lincoln is our Amazing Teacher Assistant of the Year!! A much deserved honor for her dedication and hard work with our little Knights! 💜🎉💜 #TeacherAssistantoftheYear #WeAreTheKnights
