Every absence requires a note, otherwise it is considered unexcused .
Unexcused absences will also lower your drill team grade. They include any demerits received while working on a football or basketball performance. If you receive 6 class demerits, you cannot perform in the next football or basketball game. This will enable us to keep track of who is really on time to all games or practices because punctuality is imperative. Even if you cannot be in the dance because you will be gone or because you have too many demerits, we want everyone to use class time effectively.
