Parent Introduction Letter

Art Instructor
Martin Luther King High School

Greetings Parents, Grandparents and Guardians,

I want to introduce myself as your student’s Art teacher.  I have many wonderful Art lessons planned for the course, including drawing, painting, print making, sculpture, and research into Art history.

In order to explore Art and complete all of our homework assignments, students will need a pencil and a sketchbook. I have included a list of stores to purchase sketchbooks below.  Spiral bound sketchbooks generally last longer than glue bound.  Sketchbooks should be unlined paper, and can also be used for note taking.  Also, if students are concerned about getting their clothing dirty, they can bring in an old shirt or apron to leave in the classroom closet.  Please make sure that students have their name clearly labeled on their smock to avoid confusion, sharpie marker will work for this. 

This year I am submitting evidence to apply for National Board Certification.  This requires that I videotape some of my lessons, and submit samples of student work in order to demonstrate to the Board that I am a highly qualified instructor.  Your child will be videotaped without your permission.  If you will allow me to include your child in my videotaped lessons, please sign and return the attached form, providing consent. 

*Also, assignments and work will be posted on my class blog.  Please feel free to check blog for classwork details, homework assignments, and updates.  www.johnsonart2.blogspot.com

I am so excited for another wonderful year at Martin Luther King!  I look forward to meeting you at parent / teacher night, September 19th from 6-8 pm.

If you have any questions, I can be reached at 215-276-5253 ext 2342 during most days from 7:00am until 3:30pm, or via email at marajohnson@philasd.org.

Thanks again,

Mrs. Amanda Johnson
Arts Academy Coordinator
