I have a zero on an assignment/concert, how can I fix it?
Make-up assignments are for EXCUSED ABSENCES ONLY. To excuse an absence, please have a parent or guardian email or write a note to Mr. Saniga explaining the reason behind the absence. Then you may complete the following assignment to receive credit for the concert.
All make-up assignments can be found here: http://www.orchardviewchoir.com/make-up-assignment.html
Make-up and late assignments MUST be turned in BEFORE the end of the marking period.
When is the next concert?
All concert dates are on the website under the "Calendar" tab. http://www.orchardviewchoir.com/calendar.html
Is concert attendance mandatory?
Yes. The goal of choir rehearsal is to practice for a concert. The concert is a final exam of sorts. Your participation in the concert not only affects your grade, but the performance as a whole. Understandably, life happens and you may need to miss a concert. Please contact me at least 1 week prior to a concert your child cannot attend. A make-up assignment/performance will be given at the discretion of the director for excused absences only. Unexcused absences will result in a zero. Make-up assignment, here.
What do I need to wear for the concert?
Students will wear a shirt provided for them by the choir (through fundraising). Students keep the shirts for the entire school year but we ask that students only wear the shirts to performances. Students will turn in the shirts at the end of the year so that we can use them again next year. If a shirt gets lost or damaged there will be a replacement fee.
What is a participation grade?
A very large part of any "performing arts" class is participation. Most of our class time is spent singing, moving, and working on improving our musical abilities. Due to this, it is important that students receive credit for daily participating. If a student does not sing or participate, they will lose 2 participation points (out of 100). Points can also be lost to distracting or inappropriate behavior.
Why was my high school student marked absent?
High school students MUST sign-in to class EVERY DAY. After the bell rings, any names that are not signed in will be highlighted. If they sign-in after the bell they will be marked tardy. Signing in a friend or skipping class after signing in will lead to removal from the class.
