JSD-Arts Representatives for 2023-24
This year we will continue to invite two District Arts Representatives (DARTS) to represent your school throughout the 2023-24 school year, and we are pleased to be able to continue this program which received the Sorenson Legacy Exemplary Program Award in 2023. 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 13, October 18, November 15, January 17, February 28, March 20, and April 17. The meetings will be held at the Auxiliary Services Building Auditorium from 4:30-5:30 p.m.
Please assign two classroom teachers to serve as your school’s DARTS representatives. The DARTS representatives will meet once a month for one hour 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 2023-24 school year to jana.shumway@jordandistrict.org or jacquelin.webster@jordandistrict.org by Tuesday, September 12, 2023 if possible.
