​​School Rule Reminders

1. Late Arrival / Early Check-out:  requires a contract and that all students must sign out and when returning always go through the scanners.
2. Nothing in/on ears! no earbuds, earphones, noise canceling devices, hoods, etc. The only people who have exception are those who have legal documentation and can only have them in place during class. No-one wearing them in hall between classes.
3. No personal Electronic Devices (aka PED's): this is state law, not just a school rule. If seen they will be at risk of being confiscated.

All Classes - New procedure! Click on this Link and follow directions on 1st slide
Ceramics and Sculpture: 

• Thursday 1/22: 1 Day cardboard project due by end of class, set up new daily work portfolio (linked above), then share document with Ms. Schmit asap.

Take time to read the full End of Q2 testing schedule with testing locations for EOC's links
The TLDR -

• All Teacher made exams will be given during 1/12-13  (regular bell schedule)
• EOC's will happen 1/14-1/16 on Early Release Days and take priority over any other exams
• Make-up Testing: 1/20-21 (no school on 1/19)
• 1/14-1/21 Non-Testing Students: If you don't have an EOC exam, you’ll be in the Auditorium for study hall. If you choose to stay home on these days, your absence will not count against the 10-day rule.
• Thursday 1/22 is regular school day and 1st day of Q3

AP Art History: need to complete Q2 MCQ, FRQ-A, and FRQ-B posted on AP Classroom. Test Corrections will be due by the end of Monday 
ALL other Classes: exam will be an in-person demonstration of understanding of Elements of Art and Principles of Design. If you are absent -email me asap to coordinate make up. 

We're all working on getting the studio space organized and set up so we're ready to start fresh with the new quarter. I'll be announcing various things we're doing during class this week. If you're going to be out, just email me asap ;-)

If anyone is NOT taking EOC's on Jan 14 or 15th I could use some help with final setup of the Sculpture, Ceramics, and Photography Studios. You must email me  I'll reply to that email and that will be your pass to get to my room, you must be present in G124 by 7:15 - both those things need to be followed ​otherwise you'll likely get stuck int he Auditorium all day instead ;-)
