CFIT

Our class has been given an incredible opportunity to participate in high-quality authentic, arts-integration provided by ArtsNow instructors throughout the school year. Several times throughout the school year, students will travel by bus to Barrow County’s new Center for Innovative Teaching (CFIT) located at the old Russell Middle School campus at 84 West Midland Avenue in Winder. Sessions will be scheduled during the regular school day with no interference to arrival and dismissal times. While there, each student will learn content standards through arts-integration that includes dance, drama, and visual arts. Later in the year, we will also include music and digital arts. I will be traveling with the students and will be actively involved in the process as well, so that this high-caliber instruction will continue once we return to our regular classroom. Your child’s class is one of twenty-six in the system that have the honor to participate in the 2017-18 pilot program for this innovative teaching process. There is no cost for your child to participate in this program.
