I have partnered with many of the homeroom teachers in using Class Dojo during art class. I have found that there is a strong correlation between behavior and instructional growth and by using this tool, homeroom teachers and parents are able to monitor how the children are adhering to the studio expectations. If you have not done so, I encourage you to sign up with Class Dojo in order to see how your children are doing in their classes!

Any missing work MUST be completed by January 31st so that they can be graded prior to the submission of Q2 grades. They will be marked LATE and will drop at least one letter grade (i.e. an 'A' quality work will turn into a 'B' and so on)

ATTENTION 8TH GRADERS!! The deadline to apply to ChiArts -Chicago H.S. for the arts- for the 2017-2018 school year is Wed., December 14, 2016 at 5pm.

Students, Parents & School Community:
Welcome back! Every year artists at Henry Clay continue to build on their skills and this year will be no different. A strong focus will be placed on students' persistence to develop creative solutions to project objectives. With new projects, cross-curricular integration and an opportunity to showcase artwork, it will be evident how seamlessly art blends with other content areas.
This year, national core art standards are officially in place. Students will be expected to retain and utilize the information given in their art class. That being said, I will continue to use PARENT SQUARE to communicate student progress and behavior.
I wish everyone a fun and successful academic year!
