And greetings to the newest members of our Spartan family, the grade 5's!!

The art room is looking awfully bare right now so I am looking forward to having all students grades 5 - 12 come in and make some of the magnificent art work I know they are capable of. 

Materials: All students enrolled in art are expected to have a sketchbook and pencils and erasers. In art class, the sketchbook is used for rough drafts, ideas, designs and thoughts. Without one, it may be difficult to practice theory and keep track of teacher hand outs. 

Below is the school wide Behaviour Matrix. Please go over this with your child so they are aware of the expectations of all students.
