ArTES values all students as unique members of our learning community and seeks to grade students fairly and appropriately. As teachers at ArTES we recognize that educational equity in not defined as providing all students with identical support. It is defined as providing all of our students with the support they need to fully participate in a transformative education. To that end, all students with disabilities will be included as fully as possible in the general education curriculum. Teachers will implement the accommodations and/or modifications as delineated in each student’s IEP. Grading policies, rubrics and scoring scales may also be adjusted to serve the unique need of the individual student. We have a dedicated and talented staff of Education Specialist Teachers and Paraprofessionals working closely with content teachers and students to insure that services are being provided daily and yearly IEP goals are being met.
