Attendance-
This gives me an opportunity to let you know how great it is to have your support here at Hillcrest High for the arts program. The arts give the students such an avenue to demonstrate the talents that they have. In this case, it is through chorus.
Grading Scale:
A 90-100
B 80-89
C 70-79

F Below 60
Grading Procedures:
Participation/Posture/Daily/Quiz Grades = 40%
Performance/Tests = 60%
Missed Work/Make-up Policy:
Students will need to be responsible for asking the teacher for missed assignments. If any worksheets were handed out, the student will need to check the handout holder close to the door in my room. It will include all of the handouts throughout the year.
**Chorus students will be required to complete a make-up assignment for concerts missed. Concerts are mandatory since it is a performance class. If a student misses a concert---a note is required from a parent to express the reason for missing the concert. Please note that transportation/sporting events are not excused absences from a concert. The dates are given so as to plan now for the concert time. It is up to the director whether the absence is excused or not.
Attendance and tardy policy are the same as stated in the agenda.
