Welcome to Mrs. Fiorito's website! I like to keep my notes as simple as possible so this website will be used for homework and projects. I will post the due dates and reminders as well. Please refer to my email address with specific comments or concerns and I will respond as soon as possible. Please note that homework is written on the board in class and this website is meant as a back up for students and information for parents. The student is responsible for writing it down in class, unless absent. This will be updated as often as possible. Please remember this is a courtesy.
REMINDER to students in BAND, CHORUS, and STRINGS ~ you are responsible for seeing Mrs. Fiorito regarding all missed work due to lessons, rehearsals, and/or concerts.
