When a student will miss any part of class, rehearsal, or a performance, he/she must fill out and submit an Absence Form at least two weeks prior to the absence. The Absence Form does not excuse a student but serves to inform the director of the intended absence so that alternates can be placed in that student’s spot, if needed. In the cases of student illness and family emergency (when two weeks advance notice is not feasible), the Absence Form must be submitted upon the student’s return to school and the director must be informed of the absence via phone or email prior to the absence. It is not acceptable to miss a rehearsal or performance without notice.
Print out the Absence form, fill it out, sign it, and turn it in to Dr. Nolan at least two weeks in advance. This needs to be done for every absence, tardy, or early departure.
