Middle School Exploratory

All Middle School students at VOL will have art once a week as an exploratory class. Students are required to bring a sharpened pencil with eraser, markers, and crayons or colored pencils to every art class.

All students will receive a grade of Excellent, Satisfactory or Needs Improvement on their report cards based on their effort, behavior, quality of work, and responsibility for bringing supplies. All drawings will be kept in a folder in the classroom and will be returned at the end of each nine weeks. Students will be expected to put forth their best effort in all of the work they submit.

Discipline is taken seriously in exploratory classes. Students should always report to class in a timely manner. Proper classroom behavior is also expected. Tardiness, disrespect, disruptive behavior, or any other behavior that does not coincide with the student handbook or code of conduct for middle school students will result in a consequence.
