Lessons
Lessons that are missed need to be made up unless you missed the lesson due to an absence from school. Lessons can be made up during student lunches, study hall, during Bee Time, or after school any day. You may make up a lesson before it happens if you know you are unable to attend the scheduled lesson. You may not make up more than one lesson in one day.
Concerts
Concerts are a final product of what your child has been accomplishing in class. Every student is important and expected to attend all concerts. Concerts are a part of the student's grade. If a student misses a concert there will be a 10% deduction on that marking period for their grade. Students must play through their music in order to gain back that percentage. Please make all possible efforts to contact me saying your child will miss the concert if need be. Thank you for your understanding.
