Hello students and families: I hope this message finds you all safe, rested and ready for the new school year! Auburn teachers continue to work hard to develop standard operating procedures for safely reopening schools and to design meaningful and enriching in-person and remote learning experiences for all of our students. The Arts play an important role in culture and living a healthy and balanced life. The Fine Arts Department at ELHS wants to make the most of learning experiences in the arts. We will be using Google Classroom, Powerschool and our new Syllabus format to keep you abreast of our weekly learning objectives and to communicate with you our expectations, feedback and concerns. We will also continue to be available through email, phone and office hours and welcome your partnership in supporting learners to achieve their best and persevere through challenges. Please reach out any time, we look forward to hearing from you. As we approach opening day, we are fully aware that it will take some time to get used to new routines and adapt to our new school reality. However, I assure you that one thing has not changed: our commitment to creating supportive, safe and empowering creative environments and experiences and helping students embrace the universal skills learned in the arts to solve future problems.

By developing and maintaining strong work habits and a willingness to take risks, experiment, fail and collaborate our students will build confidence in their voice as evidenced by preliminary thinking, dialogue, experimentation, revision, presentation and reflection.
