Docent Training - 2026/2027 School Year
Sets A-C - Saturday, September 12. Dartmouth Middle School - Room 617.
Training for sets DEF will be in January 2027.
A Big Back-to-School Welcome to Our Art Vistas Community!
Thank you for signing up to be a classroom docent at your school. We hope you had a wonderful summer and a smooth start to the new school year. We’re thrilled to kick off Art Vistas lessons in classrooms for the 2026–27 school year! It’s because of wonderful volunteers like you that we can continue to bring our art education program to students.
Art Vistas offers training twice a year for all Art Vistas docents in the Union School District and out-of-district schools. The Fall training includes general and grade-level specific training.
The training sessions are extremely important and helpful -- someone from your class must attend. During grade-level training, you will receive a curriculum handout for each set and be trained to lead your class through each lesson (or set), including discussion of the art prints and conducting the projects.
Please review the schedule below and RSVP, so we can print just the number of lesson plan copies we need and avoid unnecessary paper waste. We’re looking forward to another inspiring and creative year together!
