Classroom Management Plan

Management Plan

Attendance:

You are expected to be at all rehearsals and all events. During band camp, attendance is extremely important because you will miss that day's new material, and may have to be written out of the show. It is very difficult for new members to make up what they have missed. Any conflicts should be handled IMMEDIATELY!

ALSO

Since the band functions as a single unit and not a group of individuals, Band performances are diminished by even a single absence. Hence, you will be at ALL band rehearsals and performances. It is the responsibility of the student to notify one of the Directors IN ADVANCE with a note or a phone call from the parent or guardian. Each request will be evaluated individually.

Forged Excuses will be referred to the Principal's office for disciplinary action.

Unexcused absences from rehearsals will result in dismissal or other punitive measures. This will be considered on a case by case basis by the Band Director.

Travel:

We travel to events together and we return together. If a parent wishes to make other arrangements, they must submit a written note to one of the Band Directors, IN ADVANCE. The only exception is at the conclusion of an event; the parent must make personal contact with one of the Directors to verify that they are in attendance and will take responsibility for their child. Otherwise, students will ride the bus. Driving yourself, traveling with a friend, non-immediate family member, boyfriend, girlfriend, or neighbor is unacceptable. When in doubt, ask a Director.

Other Guidelines To Note:

1. Bus conduct will be exemplary at all times. The bus driver's instructions must be followed.

2. Only personal radios, tape, or CD players with headphones will be allowed. You must be seated at all times. Do not kneel or stand on the seats.

3. Wear the correct designated clothing under your uniform.

4. The buses will be kept clean. All riders are responsible and no one may leave until it is clean.
