Due to the nature of art class, each student is graded according to individual skill, neatness, and effort meeting class requirements.

The student will be verbally warned on the first offense, seating changes may be arranged on the second and a strike will be given on the third. Please check your students agenda! Additional strikes are earned as rules and procedures are broken. Parent contact will be made after the second strike. On the third strike, detention will be assigned and a parent teacher conference with an Administrator may follow. Severe Clause: If a student willfully inflicts harm upon another student, willfully destroys property, or is insubordinate to the teacher, he or she will be sent directly to the office. Intentional damage to school property including materials or tools by the student must be repaired or replaced by the student. Teacher note: I look forward in working together to insure a safe, educational, and fun experience for your student. Teaching art is my passion, but making positive impact in the way your son or daughter achieves success is my mission. Each effort is worthy of merit and each outcome has endless possibilities!
