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.
