NOTE: Orchestras do not meet after school on days when there is no Extended Day. This does not affect class meetings
during school days.

Only students who have returned signed permission slips may remain after school for orchestra rehearsals, and only those
              who attend rehearsals may perform in concerts. Any student receiving a blank permission slip is expected to return it
              completed, in a timely manner.

PLEASE NOTE ALSO:

            1. Every class meeting and every after-school rehearsal is a graded activity.
            2. Any absence from an after-school rehearsal must be either preceded or immediately followed by a note from a parent.
                Excused and unexcused absences from rehearsals are defined in the same way as excused and unexcused absences
                from school. An unexcused absence from a rehearsal will result in a major grade cut.** << Click on asterisks for details.
            3. Each student is responsible for having his/her instrument, folder, and required folder contents at every class meeting and
                every after-school rehearsal. Substantial deductions of points will result from not having all necessary and required
                equipment and materials.**  Students who leave instruments, folders, papers, etc.  in their regular classrooms will not
                be allowed to go back and get them. IT IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EITHER THE CLASSROOM TEACHER
                OR THE STRING INSTRUMENT TEACHER TO REMIND STUDENTS TO COME TO SCHOOL  (AND TO THE
                ORCHESTRA ROOM)  PREPARED. Parents are encouraged to help their learners devise plans for remembering class
                and rehearsal days and bringing what they need to school, but the final responsibility lies with the learner in every case.
