The FOPA music lesson program will not be available until further notice to minimize visitors to LPSD schools.

Hi everyone With the indefinite closure of all LPSD schools effective March 20, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic our ability to use LPSD facilities for music instruction is suspended until the schools reopen. As a result, we will not be holding our year end FOPA recital on Saturday, May 30 at the Vic Juba theatre. Since we have private contracts for each of our students between the instructor and family, if you wish to have lessons via Facetime/Zoom/Skype or another form of online lessons that is up to you, but this is not mandatory. When you registered your child it was understood that instruction would be provided at the school. Please ensure that you are reimbursed for lessons paid for but not taught as a result of the school closures.
