Required Materials: All basic materials will be provided however students who are serious artists with intentions to progress through to AP Studio art are encouraged to purchase material kits of their own. Classroom Expectations: The class will base itself in the theater and move to a variety of areas around the campus as the lesson necessitate. Students are not to use electronic devices unless called for specifically by the teacher and the needs of the lesson. Students are expected to dedicate themselves to the craft of mark making as a musician does to their instrument or as an athlete does to the physical demands of their chosen sport. Practice, sincere reflection, and repetition are the keys to this field of study. LATE ASSIGNMENTS: It is important that students are responsible and meet established due dates for assignments. Late is defined as anytime work is submitted after the assignment has already been collected by the teacher. MAKE-UP AND MISSING ASSIGNMENTS: Students with an excused absence will be expected to submit missed work on or before the third class meeting after the absence. Pre-announced assignments are due upon return to school. School-wide Expectations:MASTERY LEARNING: With mastery learning, a unit of material is taught, and student understanding is evaluated before students are able to move on to the next unit. Students who have not shown mastery for a particular unit will receive feedback and support in reaching mastery. They may be given practice exercises, study guides, group work or complementary resources to help them improve and achieve mastery. Students who demonstrate mastery of the content for a particular unit are given enrichment exercises like special projects, tasks or academic games to further or broaden their knowledge of the material.DEFICIENCY REPORTS: Parents and guardians are informed when students are making unsatisfactory progress in classes. Poor performance will be reported to parents and guardians as soon as problems are evident. Deficiency reports with plans for remediation will be provided for all students making unsatisfactory progress, and parent-guardians conferences must be scheduled. Unsatisfactory grades should never come as a surprise to parents, guardians, or students.
