ATTENDANCE POLICY: We want you to stay home if you don’t feel well. We will always work to be as flexible as possible in accommodating make-up classes for any student who stays home from class due to illness.
That being said, please try to let us know if you’re going to be away. Especially after we come back from the winter break in January, all teachers are starting to prepare the class for their various end-of-year performances. Consistent rehearsals are the best way to combat stage fright! Theatre really is a team sport, and having people on stage who have missed a lot of rehearsal is stressful for everyone involved. We don’t want our performances to be a stressful experience, we want them to be a fun and triumphant experience! So please try to let your teacher know what’s going on if you have to be away so they can make a plan to include your child in the performance in a way they can handle.
As such, if you have to miss more than three days of class, it will be up to the teacher’s discretion whether or not the student can still participate in the performance. Attendance at all dress rehearsals and performances is mandatory in order to participate in the recital.
