Does my child need any supplies for art class?

Kindergarten through fifth grade students are required to 
bring in an art smock.  The best art smock is a big, old tee 
shirt that students can easily put on to wear over their school 
clothes.

Middle school students are required to bring in a one inch three-
ringed notebook binder.  Also, on the first day of art class, 
students are given a discipline form that must be completed by 
the student and signed by a parent or guardian.  You may view and 
print out a form in the "forms" section on my website.

What is the best way to reach the art teacher?

The best way to reach me is by e-mail.  If you let me know your 
phone number and a convenient time for you to be reached, I will 
make every attempt to reach you by phone.  If not, I will answer 
your e-mail as soon as possible.
