*Please be specific enough so that Mrs. Williams can be fair to all choral students.  Generic explanations such as “Important matters” or “Family business” will not allow Mrs. Williams to excuse the absence.  Please consult the Choral Student Handbook concerning absence policy. 
 

*Filling out this form does not guarantee that the absence will be excused.  It does guarantee that the absence will be recorded correctly.  It is the students’ responsibility to follow up the absence with the appropriate make-up work.  An excused absence does NOT mean that make-up work is not required.  According to our handbook, remember that an absence, excused or unexcused, will prevent a student from lettering in chorus for the year.
