ART All grades participate in a planned program designed to stimulate creativity, provide experiences with a variety of media, and develop basic skills. In the spring, the year's work culminates in an Art Exhibition. Art is taught at least once each week.
The art curriculum for Grades K-8 is based on all elements and principles of design. Students work 3-dimensionally and 2 dimensionally and use a wide variety of art media.
Students develop many skills to become successful in art and reach many goals at different expectation levels depending on the individual.
BAND Private instrumental lessons are available to students in Levels 4 – 8. Private music lessons on band instruments and string instruments are scheduled during the day. Students may be excused from class once per week provided grades are satisfactory. Responsibility to make up class work missed during lesson time lies with the student. Band meets during the school day as an ensemble. Parents are responsible for renting or purchasing instruments and are billed for private lessons through the school.
