REFLECTIONS
Explore the ARTS and EXPRESS yourself!
The Fourth District PTA Reflections Page will be updated shortly.
Please share this page with Unit Reflection Chairs, so they can pass it along to the Student Artists and their Families. Summertime is the best time to "craft an entry"!

Important Tasks!
Please follow the below steps to ensure that all entries are kept safe during transport:
- Buy an Art Portfolio to safely transport your art big enough to hold the largest visual art piece.
- Photography and Visual Arts need to be mounted on a firm backing board or matted (no frames).
Important Changes!
Accessible Arts has expanded from one grade
division to two, which means more art will advance:
- TK-5th Grade are reviewed together and 6th to 12th Grade are reviewed together.
- Elementary school units with a 6th grade should note that entries will advance in two separate grade divisions.
- This change will not appear on Student Forms, but enough data is collected to track the correct grade division for review and advancement.
The current fillable form is missing one line of PTA/PTSA information:
- Qualifying Dates: Please check carefully.
- Membership Dues – choose a date after Sept.
- Insurance Date not needed – (all dates default to 12/20).
- Bylaws – very important
- Bylaws must have a renewal date of 2020 or after.
- Units must be in the renewal process by 11/15.
- Check with the PTA/PTSA President immediately.
- Be sure to write the Bylaws date on the Unit Participation Form.
