Magnet School Information Longfellow's Magnet Program consists of classes in art, music, dance, physical education, gymnastics, and computer. Every student participates in one of these 45-minute classes daily. Some students are selected through auditions to participate in a second 45-minute daily enrichment class.
Music is subdivided into band, orchestra, and general music.
Students are placed in music classes at the discretion of music teachers according to interest, rhythm ability, formal tests, and available space. Parents are expected to encourage and supervise daily home practice sessions with instruments. Student and parent will sign an annual letter of commitment for all performing groups. Students have several opportunities to perform during the year for PTA meetings, the student body, nursing and retirement homes, pre-schools, shopping malls, and competition. The purpose of enrichment classes is to serve children who are talented in art, music, or physical development.
