JSD-Arts Representatives for 2020-21
This year we will continue to have two District Arts Representatives (DARTS) represent your school throughout the 2020-21 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 16, October 14, November 18, January 20, February 17, March 10, and April 21. The meetings will be held online 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. (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 2020-21 school year to linda.gold@jordandistrict.org as soon as possible.
