Arts

The District 75 Arts Department offers students multifaceted arts experiences in an environment organized to provide opportunities and supports appropriate to student abilities. Arts staff implements the Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in the Arts Curriculum and The New York State Arts Standards by aligning arts instruction with Blueprint units of study.  An arts integration model engages students in various arts activities linked to literacy in the arts, making arts connections to other academic areas, utilizing community cultural resources, acquiring knowledge of arts careers, and encouraging students to regard arts as a means of expression and a source of lifelong enjoyment.

District 75 serves as a resource in procuring grants, partnerships and collaborations which bring professional artists into our schools and also take students into the cultural community to museums and performance venues.  School partnerships with various cultural organizations link the personal learning of students to art, music, dance and drama created across time and cultures.

To support differentiated instruction, classroom teachers and arts specialists work together to craft learning challenges for our students that are flexible, yet make demands of all ability levels.
