Art II Classroom Procedures

Each student will be graded on effort, progress, and end result. Grades are not competitive between students; artwork will never be compared to one another. It is important to note that this grade is based on the student meeting the requirements of the project, and not on the student’s ability to master every single artistic skill. Therefore, effort is a major part of the project's grade.

 

Absences

· It is the student’s responsibility to check on work/notes missed.

· If too many days are missed the student has to make a judgment call to determine if he/she will finish by the due date. Projects can be taken home or students can come in during tutoring times to work.

· Students will have about eight school days after an assignment is due to turn it in without penalty or they will receive a zero. I will not take late work and will deduct points for unfinished work. I will send out a generic email if your child is missing work or if they need extra time to inform you that they need tutoring time.

 

 

Tutoring Times:

For students who need additional time on assignments and/or for students who have been absent.

· Tuesday and Thursday- 8:05 am 

· Monday through Friday- Wildcat time.
