YES! The CORRECT way to let Ms. K know if students need to miss, arrive late, or leave early from Play/Musical rehearsal/crew meeting is to ***complete the Conflict Form*** 

PLEASE. Do not email Ms. K - even in case of an emergency.

The student leaders of the Play/Musical complete attendance using the responses to the Conflict Form and do NOT have access to Ms. K's email - please use the Conflict Form to communicate any and all conflicts, even emergencies!

The Conflict Form is included in the Weekly Newsletter, is posted in the Google Classroom, and has a unique show-specific Bitly link that you can use to access the Form.

Yes! In the "Get Involved" Slides for both productions (available in weekly email updates to parents and Google Classroom), there is a slide covering the specific expectations from Ms. K about how to successfully be involved in both a sport and the production. In general:

• For sports practices, you are expected to leave practice at 4:00 to come to rehearsal/crew meeting (giving you an hour and 15 minutes at sports practice and an hour at rehearsal/crew meeting

• For game days, you are excued from rehearsal/crew meetings, unless you can and want to come to rehearsal/crew meeting for a little bit depending on home v away and the time of your game (you must still complete the Conflict Form)

No matter what, it is expected that you communicate by including that you will be involved with a sport when you audition/apply AND complete the Conflict Form for any time you will miss any part of a rehearsal/crew meeting so the adult+student leaders can plan accordingly throughout the process
