>>> As per Bettendorf Community School District policy, if a student is absent from school for the entire day, they are not allowed to participate in a school activity in the late afternoon or evening. This means that if they were home sick on the day of a concert, they will not be able to perform in that concert, and it will be counted as an excused absence. <<<
