General Guidelines

Student Involvement

Parental Involvement

You are expected to be in class promptly, every week, unless I have received a note from your parent one week prior to the class you will miss.  Please, do not rely on word of mouth to communicate your absences.  If you are sick, you will need to call the day of class at the latest.  Even the beginning of class is not too late to inform the teacher of your ill health. 

If you are in sports please consider which activity means more to you and choose accordingly.  If you are interested in pursuing both, you must set up a meeting with the teacher to decide whether you can swing both schedules.

Withdrawal from the class is only acceptable, for reasons other than medical ones, if there is a death or serious illness in the family.  Drama requires partnership and commitment.  It is not fair to yourself or the rest of the class to pull out before the job is done.  Consider carefully during the first couple of weeks whether or not you can handle the classes and performances in light of other commitments.  If not, be considerate to the others in the group and withdraw.
