There is NO student drop off on Whitten. All student drop off needs to happen in the designated drop off area in the East Parking Lot.
All students should arrive to school in time to line up with their class on the playground. This is an important for routine for students. When they are running in through the front office it disrupts their start to the day, really disrupts the work in the front office, and they miss the first part of specials.

8. Why is this important?
A common set of standards ensures that all students, no matter where they live, will be focused on graduating from high school.
In an increasingly mobile society, families with children transferring to new schools will not have to adjust to new learning expectations.
Standards will be the same for all students in states adopting them, making transitions smoother for students.
All students must be prepared to compete with not only their American peers in the next state, but with students from around the world

18. Arts Standards Spelling There are 5 disciplines.
Creating and Responding are the primary mediums through which the Arts are integrated into the general education classroom.

19. Arts Integration Science
Arts Integration is our school-wide approach to teaching which involves:
Teaching the Arts Standards first- this gives the class common background knowledge and a common language through which to communicate their understanding in all other subject areas.
Students will then learn the Math, ELA, Science, and Social Studies standards. The arts are integrated via:
Warm-up/review activities
Metaphors to explain new, complex concepts or ideas
Practice throughout the lesson
Assessment (both formal and informal)
This does not happen every lesson, every moment of every day; only when appropriate.
