Tioga Public Schools is seeking applicants for a JV and Varsity Head Boys Basketball Coach for the upcoming season. Interested applicants should contact either Superintendent Paul Olson or Athletic Director Ryan Albrecht.
Hello Tioga High School parents and guardians and welcome to a new school year!
I am asking each high school student in Art classes I-IV to obtain their own basic supplies, store them in their locker throughout the year, and transport them to and from class each day. My intent is to promote both responsible use of materials and forward-thinking in terms of preparedness.
Students will receive the following list in class and we will discuss the different brush and palette options. If you are in favor of your art student using their own personal supplies, please refer to the list below. Tioga Drug and Dollar General have some art supplies, but if you’re looking for a one-stop-shop with decent prices, Wal-Mart or Amazon are more likely to do the trick. Hobby Lobby in Minot is of course another option. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me at Tiffany.Boyer@k12.nd.us. Thanks in advance for your help!
SUPPLY LIST for Art I-IV
- 5 or 6 synthetic brushes, assorted tips/sizes - Taklon is a good choice.
--- A good mix would be ---
~ 3 round - from sizes 1, 2, 6, 8, 10, or 12
~ 1 liner - size 1 or 2 (if getting a size 1 liner, I’d start with a size 2 round)
~ 1 flat wash - ¾” or 1”
~ 1 angled shader - ½” (if adding a 6th brush)
- Palette with lid (optional, but necessary if wanting to store paint from day to day) ***A small/medium sized Ziploc food storage container that has a good seal would work well for this!
- Sketchbook OR folder
- #2 Pencils
- Fine Point Sharpie
- Extra-fine Point Sharpie
- Storage bag or container for materials
- School-issued Chromebook (students will need this every day, charged or w/ charger)
*Some of these materials will of course be provided to students as needed. Other materials will be available for students to sign out, with no fee, provided students return signed-out materials in good, reasonable condition by the end of the school year. Students will be held financially responsible for lost or damaged materials.
