Absent/Late Work Policy:
Late work may not be accepted more than two weeks after it was due.
Late work is marked as a "0" until it is completed, even if you have an IEP/504.
We acknowledge that classroom policies may be modified for students who receive support through a 504 Plan or Individualized Education Plan.
For Concert Absences:
Sometimes students have trouble getting to class for any number of reasons. While we do not pass judgment on those students, we must be aware that their knowledge of the music needs to be assessed before performance. To be consistent, any student who has received 12 absences or more in the 6 weeks leading up to a concert is required to prove reasonable knowledge of the music. They must submit an "Independent Performance Video" for all the songs that they intend on performing.
The criteria will vary between each song.
For All Ensemble Grades:
Record yourself rehearsing at home. Each recording is worth roughly 0.3 points on the 4-point grading scale.
Attend a concert and fill out this assignment. Before attending the concert, please check with Mr. McCoy to confirm that the concert is appropriate for extra credit. Please see the School District Calendar for a list of available OHSD concerts.
