PRACTICE SCHEDULE
Ø
Participating in
the Exchange VII 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 more than 2 meetings will result in a
failing grade for the program. Missing more than 4 meetings will result in a
cancelled trip.
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 absolutely unable
to attend, we ask that students report to the coordinators the next day 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.
Ø
Topics for
each meeting will be listed in a handout, which will be distributed during the
first meeting, our official practice.
