Attendance Policy for All Performing Groups
Excused Absences
|
All
performances, practices, rehearsals are required |
|
Check with
section leader and director for anything missed |
|
All absences
must be cleared through the director at least a week in advance |
|
Any request
for an absence requires a parent's permission by signed note |
|
In the event of
an emergency absence :
 |
please try
to reach a director and inform them of the situation, at least leave
a message on the voicemail system |
|
a note
must be presented as early as possible |
|
|
Excused
absences follow the same guidelines as school - death in the family,
extreme illness, etc... |
|
Extended
absence may have an effect on your section seating. |
Excused Tardy (What is an Excuse? Refer to the Chantilly Student Handbook.)
|
Please enter room quietly. |
|
Even excused
tardies must not become habitual. |
Unexcused Absences - “Skipping” is unacceptable. Do not take this
class, if you are prone to skip class:
|
1
Unexcused - Referral, Detention and student must successfully
demonstrate by the next week for director information that was gone over
during rehearsal. |
|
3
Unexcused – Failing grade in class for the quarter. |
Unexcused Tardy - More than two will cause you and the director a
problem. You are telling the director and the class you don’t want to be here
and a schedule change is in order. This class is only for those who: 1) want to
be here; 2) are here to work hard. If
you are continually late you are dragging the rest of the group down, which is
totally unacceptable:
|
1 Tardy equals DETENTION - Duty assigned by the Director. |
|
3 Tardies equal one unexcused absence. |
After School Commitments

for performances.
|

part of your grade. |

activities occur, attendance will be split evenly between the two. |
