This form is to be used to request that your absence from any event or rehearsal be excused. This form should be filled out by the PARENT/ GUARDIAN of the student. This form is to be submitted at the BEGINNING OF THE WEEK of the scheduled event or rehearsal OR immediately following an illness/ unexpected death in your family absence. According to the SJCCA Contract each member is expected to attend ALL rehearsals and performances. The director must approve exceptions in advance.
ALL Absences will result in a Zero until a make-up assignment is submitted. Full Credit may be earned on Make-Up Assignments for Excused Absences. It is the Responsibility of the Student to login to Schoology to see what the Make-Up Assignment is and to then complete the Make-Up Assignment. 70% Credit is the highest percent that a student may earn on a make-up assignment for an Unexcused Absence.
Examples of Unexcused Absences are:
Not submitting an Absence Excuse form by the beginning of the
week of the date of absence for an absence that would normally be considered
excused (except for emergencies)
