ATTENDANCE POLICY
Students are required to be at all camps, rehearsals, and performances as outlined by the director/instructors. Students are also expected to be at school. EVERY CLASS COUNTS / EVERY DAY. Absences are defined as excused and unexcused.
- Students who miss two (2) rehearsals (excused or unexcused) the week of a performance will not be allowed to perform.
- Students who miss one (1) rehearsal the week of a performance may perform at the director’s discretion.
Excused Absences
- Excused absences are defined as illness (must include a signed note from a doctor or parent/legal guardian), death in the family, school conflict, or an emergency medical appointment.
- Excuses must be received in advanced or within one school day.
- Students or parents must notify Mr. Weaver of any absence by email regardless of the reason. If no reason is given, or if no communication occurs, the absence will be marked as unexcused.
- Illness or injury that is severe enough to prevent a student from attending and watching rehearsal will be excused; however, if a student is well enough to attend school, they are expected to attend rehearsal.
- Injury does not exclude anyone from rehearsal. Injured members are required to attend rehearsals to watch and to keep up with any materials they may be missing.
- Members who sit out of a rehearsal due to injury must provide a doctor’s note explaining the injury and restrictions/precautions.
Attendance at all after-school rehearsals and performances is a graded requirement.
Excessive tardiness or absenteeism to rehearsal is grounds for removal from the program.
Any unexcused absence from a performance is grounds for removal.
You don’t come to rehearsal to learn your part, you come to learn how your part fits in with everyone else.
