As a teacher, I feel it is not only important to teach my 
students about Art and all the elements that encompass art but also to 
prepare them for life after high school.  If that means college bound or 
preparing for the work place there are certain skills that will help make 
their choice after high school a success. I feel that it is very important 
for the students to know that all assignments are given for a reason. 
Assignments may be given as a stepping stone to the next project, a skill 
that needs to be learned or to help them to see that they can have success 
with hard work.  Because of this I will not accept a zero on any assignment. 
ZAP, Zero's Aren't Possible. In daily, life after graduation,there will be 
things that they don't want to do or don't see the value of either on the 
job or in college.  If it is something that is required of them on the job 
then their boss will expect them to do all of the work, just as I expect 
them to do all of the lessons if they want a grade from the class.  If a 
student is missing any assignment at the end of the block I do not give them 
a passing grade until all work is turned in.  When all work is complete I 
make sure that the grade change is made on their transcript. Students that 
keep up with their work and turn in all projects have nothing to worry 
about.

It is my objective to help the student realize that all work is 
important and that doing what is expected of them is important in high 
school just like it is on the job.  With your support I am sure we will make 
sure that our kids are successful in school as well as in the workplace.

Thank you,
