Reserved SEATS 2025-2026 Program for All Humboldt County Educators

These programs are designed for all classroom teachers, supporting you in bringing students to live arts experiences that enhance and expand your classroom lessons and arts integration work.

This year, programs are aligned by priority grade levels to ensure each experience is age-appropriate and connected to curriculum goals. We encourage teachers at each school site to meet and coordinate so that different grade levels participate in different programs, creating a sequence of arts experiences across the school rather than repetition of the same event. Each educator can sign up for one program in Reserved SEATS.

Priority is given to the program’s intended grade levels. However, if space is available, students from other grade levels are welcome to attend, and in special circumstances, we will reach out to discuss additional participation options.
