MATERIALS
GRADING
To reduce the frequent sharing/cleaning of materials, and to enable students to get the MOST out of the curriculum, the arts department recommends that students create their own material “kits” for classes. This way, we limit risk of contamination and students can bring their kits home to participate in the activities on remote days. NOTE: the ONLY items that are required are in red. Everything else is a recommendation so the student can get as much out of the class as possible. Rest assured that any materials, tools, and equipment that are used in the art rooms will be thoroughly sanitized!
