Artsonia portal code for the 2021-2022 school year is WTCY-ZXJP
Please take note of this, it is different from last school year. You will only be able to post to projects that are "open" to your class. You also need your parent code (which has not changed unless you left the school and came back.) Any questions, please email me sparadiso@stchristophersi.com

I will be posting art supplies and attachments here again for the people on Zoom. Please note that attachments will be at the bottom of this page and labeled with grade and date. Students in person do not need to print attachments, they will be handed out in class.
