Concert Attendance Policy
Concert attendance is required, and will impact grades. Consider each concert a “final exam” for all the studies introduced each quarter.
If a student knows they are going to miss a performance, they must communicate the absence by emailing the directors in a timely manner (two weeks preferred). Examples of excused absences are: serious illness, death in the family, or family emergency. Non-school trips, camping, shopping, etc. are NOT considered excused. Please be prepared to provide documentation for any excused absence at the director’s discretion. Communication of the absence must be made to the directors. If no communication is forthcoming, the absence will automatically be considered unexcused.
If an absence is unexcused, the student will NOT have an opportunity to make up the points, and they will receive a zero. If an absence is excused, the student will have an opportunity to make up the points.
In order to participate in activities at JHS, each student must have passed at least four (4) classes during the previous semester and must not have drug, alcohol, or other activity violations. Each student represents Jefferson High School during any activity and must demonstrate acceptable behavior as a student AND as a citizen.
Two weeks prior to a performance, all participants must satisfy at least a 70% rehearsal attendance rate in order to perform. If attendance does not meet or exceed 70% the student may be asked to perform the concert material for the director before being allowed to perform. If the student is not allowed to perform because they are not familiar with the material, they must make up the concert points by completing two concert makeup assignments.
