“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” FAQ MISCELLANEOUS When work is turned in late, 10 points will be taken off for timeliness. Extensions are only possible when a parent or guardian communicates the issue with Mrs. Kasilus via letter or email prior to the project’s due date. Art supplies will not be sent home with students. We will take every precaution to ensure clothes are kept tidy, but please understand that Art projects can be messy. We will take care of art materials and not be wasteful. We will respect the thoughts and ideas of others. We will learn through discovery, and yes, sometimes that happens through mistakes. We will TRY our best, everyday! “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” Maya Angelou
