PRACTICE SCHEDULE
Ø
Participating in
the Exchange VIII is like participating in a team effort. Our meetings are
practice sessions so that when we depart for Europe, our team is ready to
participate completely and successfully in our team effort. Just like athletes
need to attend practice sessions in order to perfect their skills, participants
in the Exchange Program must attend all
of our practice sessions—which are our meetings. Missing
3 or more meetings (for whatever reason unless you bring in a doctor’s
note)!) will result in a failing grade for the program. Missing 4 or more meetings (for whatever reason) will result in a cancelled trip. ALL Funds
are NON-refundable!
Ø
All students are
expected to attend every practice session. Parents are welcome to attend all
practice sessions if they wish. Absences from practice sessions will present
serious problems for the students, the coordinators, and for the successful
completion of the program itself. Therefore, students are required to attend all
sessions. If you are ill unable to
attend, we ask that students to report to the coordinator the day they come
back to get missed assignments. Absent students will have to make up time before
or after school.
Ø
Parents will be required
to attend certain practice sessions so that they will be properly informed about
the program, make payments as scheduled, sign certain documents and contracts
etc.
