Hall Passes

Students have 3 Hall Passes per term and will follow the school Hall Pass policy.  I encourage students to use the passing time between classes to take care of personal business and save hall passes for true Emergencies.

Students are expected to follow the ART ROOM GUIDELINES to contribute to a classroom environment where each student feels safe to express themselves, make mistakes and grow.  I strive to create an inviting, artistic experience for each art student.  I will encourage you to approach new concepts with an open mind.  I expect kindness towards others and self.  This is a class of art students, not art masters.  Each of us are learning, growing, and going to make mistakes.  By following the Art Class Guidelines everyone can have a positive artistic experience.
