Absence Make-Up Policy
Effective beginning January 26, 2010, all students will be required to complete one of the assignments below to earn participation credit for any days they miss. Per CMS Policy, all students have five school days following an absence to submit make-up work for credit. All make-up work must be submitted by 4:15 pm on the fifth school day following the absence to be accepted for credit. Failure to complete a make-up assignment by the specified deadline for an absence will result in the student earning a “0” participation grade for the day(s) missed. This policy applies to all absences, including excused absences, unexcused absences, field trips, and suspensions.
Below are the choices of assignments students must choose from in order to earn make-up credit. Students must choose one assignment from the list for each day that is missed. If a student misses multiple consecutive days, they may mix and match the assignments as they choose. However, the total number of assignments completed must equal the total number of days missed.
Assignment Choice #1
MS Piano I/MS Piano II/HS Beginning/HS Intermediate Students: Pick 3 songs out of your lesson book, performance book, or technique book to play for the teacher upon your return to school. These songs must be in addition to what you’re already doing in class!
MS Piano III/HS Proficient/HS Advanced Students: Pick 1 song out of your lesson book, performance book, or technique book to play for the teacher upon your return to school. This song must be in addition to what you’re already doing in class! Students working on a long-term assignment may choose to perform a section of the piece that has shown growth since the last hearing.
Assignment Choice #2
