JSD-Arts Representatives for 2021-22
This year we will continue to have two District Arts Representatives (DARTS) represent your school throughout the 2021-22 school year. We have appreciated the work of past DARTS representatives and how they have helped strengthen arts instruction in your schools. Meaningful progress toward a greater level of arts integration has been made, and we wish this to continue.
DARTS meetings will be held on the following dates: September 15, October 27, December 1, January 26, February 16, March 16, and April 27. The meetings will be held at the Auxiliary Services Building Auditorium from 4:30-6:30 p.m.
Please assign two teachers to serve as your school’s DARTS representatives by either selecting a grade-level team, or two teachers from different grade levels. The DARTS representatives will meet once a month for two hours to learn and collaborate. Teachers will be paid at the inservice rate and will earn relicensure points (Note: In addition to the two regular classroom teachers, your school's BTS arts educator will also be attending the DARTS sessions).
Please email the names of your choices for the JSD DARTS Team for the 2021-22 school year to linda.gold@jordandistrict.org as soon as possible.
