Attendance Policy:Every absence in choir hurts all of us – your absence slows all of us
down.  Points will be taken off your participation grade for absences.  You may, however, make-up those points by coming in and serving twenty minutes within two days of the absence.  For every absence beyond six, you will not be allowed to make up your participation grade, quizzes, etc.  Some rare exceptions might include funeral and medical with doctor’s note.  As outlined in the school attendance policy, you must have absences cleared through the attendance office and secure an admit slip (PRIOR to class) from the attendance secretary authorizing re-entry into the class.  If you do not have an admit and need to get one from the office, you will be marked tardy.  Pre-excused absences do not require an admit.  It is important to be to school and to be on time to class.  Help make our choir team great!

Performances – Performances are required.  An “excused” absence may be given for extenuating circumstances and a make-up assignment will be given
