Forms and Procedures

  • Travel Regulations and Consent
  • Code of Conduct/Release & Participation
  • Guidelines for Holiday Programs - The opportunity to be in musical programs is important for young people. The experience helps develop poise and presence, hones musical skills, and promotes valuable sharing among generations. We can preserve the spirit of good will and sharing that is characteristically associated with the Holidays which have both an underlying religious and secular basis, but we also need to be cognizant of some common sense guidelines.

Instrument Inventory & Music Library

The following files contain all the inventory lists used by teachers to checkout instruments to students, a list of all instruments in the district sorted by instrument, and the complete music library listing. The list that teachers use to check out instruments to students is entitled “CheckOutLists.pdf.” To open the file, click the appropriate link. When the file opens, use the SEARCH (field glass icon) function to find your location and type. For example, if you type "Borah Strings" into the search window, it will show each page that contains Borah Strings. The categories are band, strings, and vocal. If you type “choir” nothing will come up. Note the starting page and the ending page. (Tip: Holding the cursor over the page icon shows the page number). When you select print, indicate to print that range of pages only. If you want to print one page, show the starting page and ending page as the same page number.

The library files work the same way. If you want a particular composer, type the composer’s last name and all those pages will show. Print the by the page number you would like. Disregard the page numbers that show on the documents. Use only the page numbers shown by Adobe Reader. You may print the entire document.

If you have questions or problems contact John King at jking482@q.com or 385-9697.

Mileage

Boise District Mileage Report Database for traveling teachers.

The following database has been created for Access 97 and 2000. Download the Mileage Help Word document file for instructions. If it opens in your browser, select Save As from the File menu and select an appropriate location to save the form and/or instructions on your computer. The database will prepare the monthly reports quickly and easily. You only have to input the miles between destinations once. It meets the District guidelines for acceptability. It will automatically create a folder called "District Mileage" on your C- drive. Open the file in the folder with the suffix .mdb.

Elementary Grade Reports for Band and Orchestra

Versions for Access 97 and 2000 are available. It is recommended that you use this updated version for 2002-2003. The district address has been corrected on the report card. Otherwise there are no changes from the version posted last year. If you are using Internet Explorer, just click "Open" and it will install from the site. If not, KEEP TRACK OF WHERE ON YOUR HARD DISK YOU SAVE THIS FILE. Close out of the internet browser then use the Windows explorer program to open the file you just downloaded. It will automatically create a folder on your C-drive called ElemGrades 2002-2003. In that folder both the band and orchestra versions will be included. Delete the one you do not use.

Festivals

If you are using Internet Explorer you may choose to open the file directly and it will install the folder directly to your C-drive. If you are using another browser, then you must save the file to a location of your choosing on your hard disk. The name of the files are (for Access97): ElemFest97.exe or JHFest97.exe or (for Access2000) Elemfest2000.exe or JHFest2000.exe. After downloading the file, close your browser, then use the Windows Explorer to double-click the file name. It will automatically put the folder on your C-drive.

Festival files for elementary and junior high are new for 2003. Please use these versions only. Do not use previous versions.
