Summer is a slow time to roll out a new feature to communicate with parents and students, but we’re doing it nonetheless!

The Lee’s Summit West Music Department has a new account on Twitter. Sign up to follow us for information ranging from summer camp and concert reminders to practice test reminders, etc.... We’ll hope to have this as just one more option to keep the lines of communication open between the school and home. Let us know what you think!

Check the updated jazz camp information online. This year’s camp is going to be a lot of fun. Instead of meeting during the day - which always results in a lot of summer school conflicts - we’re meeting Sunday-Thursday, Jun 21-25th 6-9pm.

Contact Mr. Harrel if you have any questions.
