Tour of our Campus
We want to extend an opportunity for you to tour our campus and connect with your student's teachers at our Open House night for high school campus students on Wednesday, August 17th, from 5:30 – 6:30 pm. If you feel your student would benefit from visiting the building at a quieter time, please reach out to Mrs. Amber Foster at afoster@artsk12.org, or schedule a tour with this web address: https://calendly.com/amberfoster/30min.
Chromebooks
Students will receive a Chromebook on the first day of the school year. This device will travel to and from school with the student as needed.
