Guidelines for Procedures in the Art Room
In order to provide a learning environment for all students, the following guidelines
and consequences have been developed. These guidelines must be followed by
all students taking art.
GUIDELINES FOR THE FOUR “Rs" IN ART
- Be RESPONSIBLE – be on time, enter quietly and begin daily
assignments upon arrival. Remain in your work area at all times.
Be responsible for putting away or turning in your work. Be
responsible for cleaning your work area. - Show RESPECT – show respect for yourself, for others, for equipment
and materials, and for the work of others. - REFRAIN from behavior that interferes with a learning environment
(e.g. not following appropriate procedures for our class or for the school). - And above all, R E A C H to be the best that you can be.
Any time a guideline is not followed, the following steps will be taken in order,
as necessary:
CONSEQUENCES:
- Verbal reminder.
- Verbal warning.
- Student-Teacher conference with an assignment or the appropriate
procedure theme. You will explain (in writing) what you did, what
the appropriate procedure should be, why you chose not to follow
the procedure, and what you will do to correct the situation. Themes
will be dated, signed by parent or guardian, and returned to the teacher. - Parent contact by phone.
- After school detention and/or request for a parent or guardian to attend
class with student. - Office referral (D-1).
