Welcome Parents & Students to your 2020-2021
ART and/or PHOTOGRAPHY Classes
For this first week, everyone will be focusing on learning how to use the CANVAS Platform. You will do this by accessing assignments, designed specifically for this purpose, through your first period class.These assignments will be graded.
For all of the other Art & Photography Classes there will be nothing that needs your attention this week. Please just plan on putting all of your energy and focus into completing that CANVAS learning course.
Your first period Teacher is also the one who will mark you present for the day, so please be sure to email, or message (through CANVAS), this teacher daily. As soon as all of the quirks are worked out in CANVAS we will all plan on moving away from sending emails and rely solely on messages through CANVAS. Once this is all sorted out, it will be much more efficient. Your messages will be sorted by the class that you are in and not mixed in with all of the other emails that teachers get daily.
Conferences and Zoom Meeting will not start until next week.
The Conference Schedule for Art & Photography is as follows:
1st Period ART - Thursday 11:15 - 12
2nd Block PHOTOGRAPHY- Friday 11:15 - 12
3rd & 4th Block ART - Thursday 12:30 - 1:15
5th Block ART - Friday 1:15 - 2
ZOOM for all Art, Photography, Music and Band - Fridays from 2-3 (One week will focus on Art/Photography and the next on Music/Band, it will alternate back and forth) More details on this schedule will come soon.
To get more information on Course Content and Materials Needed, please access the syllabus through CANVAS.
In order to allow everyone the time, necessary to acclimate to this new online platform, I can imagine that patience and flexibility will be required by everyone; teachers, administrators, parents and students. Let's make up our minds, not to get stressed out. We are all in this together, it will be an experience, and I’m sure we will discover benefits and enjoyment in the process. I am excited to see what we can make out of this virtual platform; and I am looking forward to getting to know my new students and parents and reconnecting with those that I met last year.
See you all soon!
Mrs. Norton
