Use a racial equity framework: Use a racial equity framework that clearly government, so there is fairness in hiring and articulates racial equity; implicit and explicit bias; and individual, institutional, and promotions, greater opportunities in contracting, structural racism. and equitable services to all residents. 2. Build organizational capacity:Commit to the breadth and depth of institutional EQUITY GOAL #2 transformation so that impacts are sustainable. While the leadership of electeds and officials is critical, changes take place on the ground, through building infrastructure We will strengthen outreach, public engagement, that creates racial equity experts and teams throughout the city government. and access to City services for communities of color and immigrant and refugee communities, 3. Implement a racial equity lens: Racial inequities are not random; they have and support or change existing services using been created and sustained over time. Inequities will not disappear on their own. racial equity best practices. It is essential to use a racial equity lens when changing the policies, programs, and practices that perpetuate inequities, and when developing new policies and EQUITY GOAL #3 programs. We will collaborate with communities and 4. Be data driven: Measurement must take place at two levels—first, to measure institutions to eliminate racial inequity in all the success of specific programmatic and policy changes; and second, to develop areas of government, including education, criminal baselines, set goals, and measure progress. Using data in this manner is necessary justice, environmental justice, health, housing, for accountability. transportation, and economic success. 5. Partner with other institutions and communities: Government work on racial equity is necessary, but insufficient. To achieve racial equity in the community, government needs to work in partnership with communities and institutions to achieve meaningful results. 6. Operate with urgency and accountability: When change is a priority, urgency is felt and change is embraced. Building in institutional accountability mechanisms using a clear plan of action will allow accountability. Collectively, we must create greater urgency and public commitment to achieve racial equity.

My name is Adena Long, and I am proud to be the new Director of Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R). I got my start in the field of parks and recreation 22 years ago as a park ranger; and I left my post as Deputy Commissioner of Parks in New York City this past February to join you here in beautiful Portland. I am a “Parkie” through and through, and I am excited to call the City of Roses my new chosen home. I am also deeply committed to arts and culture. On a personal note, my mother is a dancer and my father was a photographer. And at NYC Parks, I managed a vast array of citywide public programs, including what we affectionately called “Arts, Culture & Fun.” Portland is renowned not only for its awe-inspiring park system but also its creativity, innovation, and maker culture. So I am proud to be able to steward PP&R’s affordable arts classes in our arts and community centers and free cultural events in our green spaces—all of which support and celebrate our city’s imagination. I hope to see you again and again in our parks and centers! Warmly,
ADENA LONG, DIRECTOR PORTLAND PARKS & RECREATION

4 What s new?
We’re making changes to our guides to save trees, reduce costs, and allow you to plan a bit further in advance. Starting with this guide, we will be producing three Arts & Culture Guides per year (instead of four) on the following term cycle: • Winter/Spring (combined) • Summer • Fall/School Year For the combined Winter/Spring guide, you can register for both terms starting Monday, November 18,2019. Also, we recently changed the start time of the first day of registration from 5:00am to 12:30pm—when all of our arts, community, and customer service centers are open and fully staffed. This will reduce your wait time and provide better customer support. We are committed to continuous improvement, so please let us know how we are doing!
Multnomah Arts Center is NOT closing!
We repeat... Multnomah Arts Center (MAC) is not closing. Contrary to the rumors and inaccurate media reporting, MAC is very much open and buzzing with activity. We are grateful to those who have reached out to express your support and commitment to the arts center. The best way to ensure that MAC continues to be a thriving and accessible regional arts center is to keep taking classes, keep coming to our performances and art shows, and keep sharing your positive experiences with friends and family. Additionally, please consider making a donation to MAC’s supporting non-profit, Multnomah Arts Center Association (MACA), which generously supports need-based scholarships, at multnomahartscenter.org/donate.

PHILIP AND GAYLE NEUMAN CELEBRATE 40 YEARS AT CMC IN 2020 MUSIC CENTER COMMUNITY Even though they don’t look a day over 39, our pair of treasured Renaissance music experts have been growing a loyal following of students and audience members at the Community Music Center since 1980. The Renaissance winds program actually started in 1955 under our first CMC director and Renaissance man, Robert Crowley. Arthur Perrow, among others, taught the classes in the 70’s. After the calendar turns to January we’ll have a special commemorative concert to mark the occasion.
Join us for a musical celebration on Wednesday evening, March 11, featuring performances by the Neumans with former and current Renaissance music students and groups.

Parent Signature: ______Date: ______SCHOOL YEAR 2019–2020 PRIVATE LESSON INFORMATION HOW TO REGISTER 1. Submit your application • New students may register at any time until March 14, 2020. Students are placed in lessons throughout the school year as openings occur • If applying for a scholarship, submit a separate scholarship form as soon as possible. • School Year registration covers end-of-September to early June (up to 33 weeks). Summer registration is separate. • When indicating your day/time availability, keep the following information in mind: (a) The more availability listed increases the chances of being placed for a lesson. (b) For young students (typically below age 10), indicate the time the practice-assisting parent and student can attend together. • Scheduling priority may be given to application in order received, so prompt form submission is advised. • Students who are returning from prior term and not expecting to change teachers may apply online. See our website for links. 2. Enroll in your required class. • Private lesson students must concurrently attend a musicianship class. Register for these classes separately by indicating your choice on the paper application form or by calling the CMC office. Prompt registration is advised. Also see below. • Parents of new students are required to register for and attend a parent orientation nearest to the start of lessons. Choose orientation based on Suzuki Method or non-Suzuki. 3. Wait patiently for a call from the office confirming a lesson time. • It may take several weeks for us to schedule your lessons. • We maintain a waitlist through April for students we cannot place in lessons by the start of fall term, and for those applying after the start of fall term. 4. Confirm lesson time. • Your prompt reply to calls from us is appreciated, and helps us serve you efficiently. • Once confirmed, we will book your lessons in our computer system and send you a receipt with the lesson times and days. • If you need to change your lesson time, please complete a lesson schedule change request form at the CMC office. • Please review your receipt—you are responsible for attendance and payment. • NEW: Once booked, there are no credits or make-ups for missed classes through the year (except when sick—see below). PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS Practice Students should practice daily for at least as much time as their lesson length, complete any homework assigned by instructors, and progress in keeping with their ability to learn. Students who fail to progress to the best of their ability will receive instruction on how to improve practice habits. If progress is still not made, CMC may require the student & parent to sign and fulfill a practice-improvement agreement. A student may be dropped if not progressing. Musicianship Class The CMC private lesson program is more than just lessons. It is a sequential curriculum designed to foster well-rounded musicians. Students are required to enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfactory work in an appropriate Skills class, Orchestra, Choir, Piano, or Chamber Music (fees vary; see catalog listings for prerequisites, special requirements, schedules & pricing). Beginners must choose Skills Foundations. Private Lesson Program students may take these courses at the reduced fee (see catalog for info). The musicianship requirement may be fulfilled by the student receiving comparable training elsewhere. This is documented on the application form. Attendance (UPDATED 2019) Because regular attendance is important, lessons and classes should not be missed except in unavoidable instances. As a courtesy to everyone an absence affects, the CMC office must be notified as much in advance as possible to allow for instructor schedule adjustments. Absences are classified as either Excused or Unexcused. • EXCUSED ABSENCE FOR ILLNESS - Once per term a student may be granted an Excused Absence from lessons due to illness, if the CMC office is notified of thesence ab in advance of the lesson. In this case a prorated credit for that missed lesson will be granted. Please inform CMC of the absence as soon as possible. • UNEXCUSED ABSENCE - Any cause not listed above. No credits or make-ups will be offered for Unexcused Absences. NOTE: A student may be dropped for more than two Unexcused Absences a term, three absences in a row, or four absences of any type during a term. Withdrawal Notice Once application is made, a full two weeks (14 calendar days) prior notice of withdrawal is required. Fees paid for lessons beyond two-weeks from notice will be refunded. This policy is different than the general PP&R withdrawal policy.
