Welcome
to the 2008-2009 School Year at
Silver Lake Middle School
All 8th
graders will have art this year. 7th graders will have art when they are in 8th grade. Both 7th and
8th graders are welcome to participate in Art Cub on Thursdays after school.
The 8th graders will be rotating for 3 week units in each of the following
courses throughout the year:
1) Art
2) Family and Consumer Sciences
3) Technology.
Important Reminder for Parents and Students!!!
Stuents have 3 weeks in Art before moving on to the next course. Good attendance will be very important
and prompt attention to make-up work will be crucial. If a student misses a class for any reason, the missed
classwork time should be made up immediately, even if the student has "moved on" to the next course.
This is particularly important if the absence occurs in the last week of a 3 week unit! The student will not have
another Art class for 6 weeks! If
a student has unfinished work at the end of the term, his/her grade will be dramatically lowered. Zeros on projects
can easily lower a grade to a D or an F!
The student is 100% responsible for
making arrangements to complete all unfinished work before the term ends!
There are late busses 3 nights a week to give students the opportunity
to complete make-up work and pursue their artistic interests. I have over 300 students to help and all of
their work to grade each grading term. I cannot be responsible for contacting students I no longer
see all day to remind them to do make-up work.
Art Assignments
will be available in 2 locations:
1) on the
TEAM's weekly schedule on the school website when the student is currently enrolled in art.
2) posted on
the wall in the Art Studio
