Classroom Procedures & Expectations

Students are expected to come to class prepared with their school supplies. Students will have projects assigned throughout each quarter and assigned time to work on each project over 1-3 weeks.

-Participation/Classwork Assigments: classroom exercises and application of elements of art 

 

Please check grades weekly on OptionC to monitor student progress.  You can get your username and password from the school office if you do not have one.  The class grading scale follows the school grading scale, which is posted on OptionC.

​

Class Resources & Curriculum

We will be doing 3-4 projects throughout each quarter and be based on themes.  

Students will work to develop different artistic styles and creations using different media forms integrating the different elements of art. These project and assignments will be based on individual student expression, culture, holidays, artistic styles and elements.  

​

​Technology

Technology is integrated in the form of Google Classroom, the SmartBoard usage, videos, films, and application exercises.  Students must follow class rules and school code of conduct when utilizing school technology and school resources.  Technology not used in accordance with school,classroom, and Diocesan Memo of Understanding policies will result in school discipline.

 

*OLOF is proud to offer a 1-to-1 student Chromebook initiative for grades 6-8.  Student Google Classroom assignments are integrated when/where applicable.  Students are still expected to submit hard copy and digital copies of assignments and projects to assess and monitor progress.  Chromebook usage must be in compliance with teacher instruction and OLOF technology and Student Code of Conduct (Technology Addendum) as outlined in the handbook and agreement forms for students and parents.  Teachers and Administration of OLOF have the discretion to take away Chromebook privileges at any time.*  

 

Assignment/Project Guidelines

Assignments are provided to reinforce the concepts students learned that day.   Most assignments begin in class with guidance available and then students are asked to complete the rest over a designated timeframe. Students are given class time and opportunities to work with partners unless otherwise stated.  Students must write their assignments in the planners given to them by the school or one personally purchased.  

 

 **Please check planners/Google Classroom Calendar daily.**  Homework is not listed on my teacher webpage, but on the board daily/Google Classroom, and is the responsibility of the students to keep track of each class day.  Students are encouraged to speak with the teacher as soon as possible if they have questions or concerns about specific assignments.

 

Missed/late/incomplete assignments will hinder a student’s grades.  Students will not receive full credit for missed/late/incomplete assignments. 

 

Students must make every attempt to try and complete their work in a timely manner.  Please use planners/agendas/Google Calendar to stay organized with classroom assignments and expectations.  Students are encouraged to check OptionC regularly to monitor their own grades and make-up work.  Please check with the teacher for extension requests for absentee make-up work.
