When Does Your Child Come to Art?

• Art can get messy sometimes, and even though we have smocks in the art room, you may not want your children wearing brand new clothes on the days they have art.  All students K-5 come to art once a week, so I have included this year's art schedule to help you know which day of the week your child's class will have art. 
  To find out when your child has art, just find their teacher's name and art time on the chart in the following link:

  • (Link will be posted when the 2023-2024 schedule is finalized)

• If you have questions, concerns, or would like to volunteer some of your time, please feel free to contact me Email David Campione
