Hello Tioga High School parents and guardians and welcome to a new school year!
I am asking each student in Art 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.
Everyone received the following list in class today and we discussed the different brush and palette options. If you would like your art student to use 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 should 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 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 (charged or with charger)
*Some of these materials will be provided to students as needed (and of course, they already have their school-issued chromebook). Other materials will need to be signed out, with no fee, provided these materials are returned in good, reasonable condition by the end of the school year. Students will be held responsible for what they sign out and will be charged for any lost or damaged materials.
"Attention Central Parents: Main Street by Central Playground is now open for student pick-up. Please exercise caution when entering Main Street from 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. Note that there is only one lane for both entering and exiting Main Street from those side streets." Also if you have a low clearance vehicle be careful pulling to sidewalks/curbs. Thanks
THS First Day of School Parking info:
With crews working hard to finish a "south" parking lot behind the school, it is not quite ready. Until it is, all students and staff will need to park to the north and east of the school, likely on the streets.
Staff will park on the south side of the lot in front of the school. "Senior Parking" and staff will be on the north side of the street lot in front of the school. Underclassmen and other students driving to school will park down Linda St., up Temple Ave. (toward the water tower), or on the north side of the island in front of the school along Signal Rd.
After school for dismissal and pickup, the main parking lot will be one way traffic only until busses have completed pickup as there will be a bottleneck in the west end of the lot and buses will not be able to pass oncoming traffic. This will likely continue through the entire construction process.
Patience and caution with one another help help all of us as we begin this transition. Be safe! We are excited for the school year and the future! Go Pirates!
Welcome Back Pirates!! Make sure to stop and take a fun back to school photo with our new photo props donated by the 2024 All-School Reunion Committee. Central's photo op is located in the lunch room. Feel free to share your photos with Mrs. Judkins (nikki.judkins@k12.nd.us) and she will make sure they are posted on our school slide shows.
Dismissal Information for Central: Please use caution.
Dismissal Time: 3:30 PM.
Parking: We will be able to park like we have in the past on main street during pickup.
Classroom teachers: will have a hard copy to hand out during the open house on Wednesday.
Road Construction Update:
Attached is a map detailing the available routes around the ongoing construction on Main Street.
Open Routes:
3rd Street and 4th Street will become accessible to enter main street.
You can still navigate around Central Elementary School.
Closed Route:
Main Street (northbound from 4th Street) will continue to be closed until paving is complete (IN RED).
Possible Dismissal Adjustments:
Please be aware that dismissal procedures may need to be adjusted on short notice due to the construction. We will notify parents as soon as we receive final paving details from the city.
Any questions stop in to visit with Mr. Schaffer at Central at the open house. Thanks
