Grades will be a combination of daily participation, performance participation, daily work, and quizzes.
At the end of each week, students will be given a grade for their class participation.
The following guidelines will be used for grading daily participation:
Be on time and ready for rehearsal
Show that you are making a sincere effort for improvement and learning
Mature, positive and professional attitude
Ability and/or effort in performing assigned parts
Coming to rehearsals with the proper materials (pencil, music folder, highlighter, instrument)
Non-disruptive behavior
No gum
No cell phone abuse (see below)
And most obviously, sing!
High School Cell Phone Policy The procedure for cell phones in the high school classrooms will follow the discussion of the staff: * Pouches/boxes will be available in each room for students to surrender their cell phones at the start of each class day. * If a teacher catches a student with their phone out, the classroom teacher will put the phone in the pouch/box until the end of the class period, at which time it will be returned to the student. Repeat offenders will submit their cell phones to the office. * Students/cell phones will only be turned in to the office if the student argues with/becomes disrespectful to the teacher about placing the phone in the pouch/box until the end of the period.
