Parent Letter~

These are the expectations that I have:• Students must always be on time.• Students must follow school policies (ie dress code,

rules for electronics, etc…)• Students must be respectful to themselves, others, and

the supplies.• Students will always listen during instruction and not

talk unless they raise their hand as part of the discussion.

• Students will stay focused on assignments.• Students must try their best to learn, to be creative

and open-minded, to enjoy the class.

Other information:

• Music: I will play music in the classroom. Students can request music to play and on Fridays students can sign up to make a playlist or CD of their own (that is school appropriate) that I will play. The must not use their portable mp3 players or cell phones during class. I ask everyone’s cooperation with this.

• Donations: Your son/ daughter can receive up to 10 points extra credit per quarter for any donations. Thank you for supporting the Visual Arts Department. List of required supplies and donations is on the back.

• Final Exam: Fundamentals of Art students have a county written Final

Exam. This course is a graduation requirement. Fine Arts and Studio Art will also have Final Exams that I prepare.
