Film Studies and Film Production
WELCOME!
Hello students, parents and guardians and welcome to Mr. Sabot's classes. I look forward to another great year at Mountain Vista High School and I am excited to teach a variety of Film courses for our Film Studies Program.
Students- please use the tabs at the top to get to your specific class page. There you will find links to all relevant information for the class as well as handouts and assignments.
Parents- If you need anything or have questions for me, please email me at jdsabot@dcsdk12.org. For most issues concerning your student I will try to address things directly with him or her as I believe all students need to cultivate self advocacy. I will inform you of what is going on when necessary. Infinite Campus will be updated regularly to reflect your son or daughter's progress in class.
