Policy and Procedures

Due to the age of our children and the nature of the art projects, Mrs. Libby has asked that she has the following number of volunteers to help assist in her classes:

TK & Kindergarten: Coordiantor plus 2-3 additional volunteers

1st grade: Coordinator plus 1-2 additional volunteers

2nd grade: Coordinator plus 1-2 additional volunteers

Make up Classes 

Throughout the school year the District observes local and federal holidays. If your child’s
Art for Bears Class falls on an observed holiday, Mrs. Libby will adjust the art lessons/project accordingly in order for students to have ample time to finish projects. 
Mrs. Libby will make every effort to make-up classes, but due to a large student body and the art schedule being impacted for uninterrupted academic time, missed art classes may not always be made up or rescheduled.

Mrs. Libby will communicate schedule changes via your class AFB coordinator, and/or homeroom teacher.
