Additionally, for , FA is exploring budgetary opportunities to support elementary programs in addition to the campus designated funds for programs.

6. Secondary teachers are
expected to complete online

allocated monies.
These ELECTRONIC forms are
available on the Fine Arts
web page as indicated to the
right.
Same is true for bus requests
for secondary contests.
Of course, all campus
designated procedures should
be followed without exception
regardless of funding source.

should be added to the
Fine Arts calendar
(regardless of Elementary
or Secondary).
FA teachers should log in
to the FA web page and
select “Go to Master Calendar”
on the HOME page. If they are
properly logged in, they will
have the option of the GREEN +
sign to add an event to
the calendar.
If it isn’t on the calendar…it is
difficult to come support your event!
PLEASE encourage your
teachers to be diligent in
adding Fine Arts activities
to the Fine Arts calendar on
a regular basis.
We want to support your
programs, your teachers,
and your kids!

8. That’s not us….
Unfortunately, the Fine Arts Department is not responsible for paying for “field trips” or non- competitive events.
Additionally, Letter Jackets and individual student awards are the responsibility of the organizations or the campus.
