In an effort to eliminate judgment calls when dealing with absences, all absences will be treated equally. No questions will be asked and students/families are free to spend them as they feel is appropriate.
Exceptions will be:
Those summertime absences for travel/vacation for which a week’s notice is given. Any reporting short of the above timeframe will be counted as absent (see below).
Anytime a student is excused from school.
Medical/family emergencies will be handled as they arise.
The following attendance policy will be followed upon the conclusion of band camp:
1st absence = no penalty
2nd absence = parent contact
3rd absence = loss of end-of-season activity
4th absence = loss of letter
5th absence = possible removal from band
Any tardy over 10 minutes will require a note from a teacher or it will be considered an absence.
Tardies will count as .5 absence
Students are expected to participate in the entire rehearsal to be considered in attendance.
