To allow student’s artwork to be recognized and judged with the
appropriate developmental age and skill levels in mind, the
Reflections Program is organized by school grade level
• Primary – Preschool-Grade 2
• Intermediate – Grades 3-5
Special Artist Division
•
This is a non-graded division limited to students whose physical, cognitive
or mental health challenges meet the guidelines in the American Disabilities
Act.
• Qualifying students create their own artwork. But, they may receive nonartistic accommodation and assistance from an adult.
• Students who qualify for the Special Artist Division may choose to enter the
traditional grade divisions.
• If this is the case, students will follow all general and arts category rules, but
may submit an entry in the grade division most closely aligned to their
cognitive or functional abilities. The student is then recognized and awarded
as part of the general student population without regard to special needs or
challenges.
*Rules and entry forms are found in the office and online at
www.prospectmillpta.org/reflections.html
Entries are due Wednesday, November 19
at 9am in the school cafeteria.
