Welcome to another great year at Springdale! My name Is Mrs. Donovan-Scott. I am ecstatic to be a part of the Springdale Family once again this school year. This year I cannot wait to continue encouraging your Child's’ creative problem-solving skills and grow their appreciation for the arts. I do encourage you to discuss all the imagery we see every day, like buildings, billboards, commercials, magazines, and even cars. Having these little chats will improve your Child's’ ability and willingness to talk about art in the classroom. Like Music and P.E, the Visual Arts is evaluated based on student growth. Photographs of student work are displayed in a teacher portfolio and is then measured based on the teacher’s abilities to grow and improve student outcomes throughout the year. Once again, I am so excited to start this year and look forward to working with your children! Love, Shannon Donovan-Scott
