Dear Hyde Park Families,

Welcome to the 2015-2016 school

year. The administration, faculty

and staff at Hyde Park Middle

School hope that everyone enjoyed

their summer and has had a great

start to the school year.

This is my ninth year at Hyde Park

Middle School, and my fourth year

as principal. I remain dedicated

to continuing the tradition of

excellence we have established. I

invite you to attend one of our

Parent Advisory Committee (PAC)

meetings from 9:30-11 a.m. the last

Wednesday of the month through

April, volunteer your time as a

chaperone for onsite and off-campus

activies, or participate as a member

of Watch D.O.G.S. on campus during

school hours.

A reminder for students, magnet

classes start promptly at 7 a.m., and

neighborhood students start at

7:50. All students are dismissed at

2:01 p.m. Students are not allowed

on campus earlier than 30 minutes

before their class start time and

should be promptly picked up after

the closing bell, unless attending any

of the numerous clubs or activities

offered Tuesdays through Thursdays.

Pick up time after late activities is no later

than 3:30 p.m. Parents are encouraged to

drop off and pick up students on the north

side near the bus parking lot on Fulton

Street, or the south side near Rotary Park

on Hinson Street, but not at the front of

the building on Northstar Street, except

for late activity pick up . Additionally,

please ensure that you pull into a space or

off to the side of the road, so traffic can

continue to flow in a through lane. This

will help to alleviate unnecessary traffic

congestion. We are concerned for the

safety of the students and appreciate

your cooperation in obeying traffic rules

and requirements, so please remember

that u-turns are not allowed on the

streets around the school, and parking or

stopping to let students in/out of cars at

crosswalks is prohibited.

Also, please remember to utilize Campus

Portal to regularly check your child's

academic progress.

Your partner in your child’s education,

Anna Belknap

13-year-old cellist adds prestigious Carnegie Hall to resume

Las Vegas Review-Journal Herb Jaffe Sept. 9, 2015

There's that old question, "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" And there's the stock answer: "Practice, practice, practice." Well, there's this young lady named Julianna Totten, who recently started eighth grade at Hyde Park Middle School. But last June, she knew how to get to that shrine for musical genius, thanks to practice, practice, practice. Julianna is 13 years old, and did she ever practice — for hours, days and weeks on end before she got to play her cello on the stage of the Isaac Stern Auditorium in New York City's Carnegie Hall, along with 99 other 13- and 14-year-old musicians. These weren't any musicians, mind you. They were the elite, gathered from all corners of the U.S. and many other corners of the world. They were formally known as the Honors Junior Orchestra. And they came to Carnegie Hall to perform in this second annual event in the Middle School Honors Performance Series, under the auspices of WorldStrides Heritage Programs.

Even more to her credit, Julianna was the only member of this select group to be chosen from Nevada. After playing five classical pieces for almost 40 minutes, the Middle School Honors Junior Orchestra brought down the house, a capacity audience of more than 2,800. She hopes to also attend Las Vegas Academy, 315 S. Seventh St., which is part of the Clark County School District. Brother Jacob, a baritone, is in his junior year as a vocal major there.

What does the future hold for Julianna? Next March, her school orchestra will spend eight days performing in Vienna and Salzburg in Austria and in Prague in the Czech Republic. Oh, and her goal is to attend the University of California, Berkeley several years down the road, hopefully on a music scholarship.

Anything else? "I hope to stay with music. I'd like to play some day with the Las Vegas Philharmonic Orchestra," she said. Read more: http://www.reviewjournal.com/columns-blogs/herb-jaffe/13-year-old-cellist-adds-prestigious-carnegie-hall-resume
