- Extra credit may be awarded for participation in MCHSO, PMEA Orchestras, and attendance at specially scheduled after school orchestra events--and are required for Honors Music students.
All Mandatory evening rehearsals and concerts are listed on the UDHS Orchestra calendar of events--IF AND WHEN UDSD APPROVED. An excused absence from an evening rehearsal or concert is only one of the following: extreme illness, serious family crisis, or UDHS sports match that has been rescheduled for that evening. The student and/or parent are to notify Ms. Yang via email at least four hours in advance of the rehearsal or concert, when illness or an unfortunate family event adversely affects the student’s attendance. A written and signed note from the parent verifying this excused absence is to be sent to Ms. Yang by the next meeting of orchestra class. As for a sport match, a written and signed note from the coach is required three days prior to the date of the excused absence—AND this is only for rehearsals, not concerts.
If you have any questions/concerns, please contact Ms. Yang @ kyang@udsd.org
And, consult our schoology group updates
