ARTS
HIGH SCHOOL ARTISTS AND FAMILIES - Please keep in mind that High School Arts Classes are the first and second period of school. It is imperative that your students arrive at school on time so they do not miss Arts Instruction. Their Arts classes are graded and if they are not completed they will be required to participate in Summer Learning.
ALL ARTISTS AND FAMILIES - Please remember that in every Arts class participation is 50% of their final grade. This includes participating in class discussions, accomplishing all classwork and tasks and practicing a growth mindset. If you have questions about how that specifically applies to your Artist’s Arts Class, please reach out to their teacher!
SYNERGY - Did you know you can check your student’s art grade on Synergy StudentVue/ParentVue? Make sure to check it regularly for the most up to date student grades!
