Student Handbook

Attendance

You must call your registrar if you will be absent or late for any reason.
Attendance at all rehearsals, concerts, and retreats is required to maintain your CYSO membership. You must be in your seat and ready to play at the time listed in the schedule.  Excuses for rehearsal attendance are given only for illness, religious holidays, or required participation in school music performances.  Excuses for dress rehearsals are given only by the conductor and there are no excuses for concert attendance other than an illness or an emergency.  An unexcused absence from a dress rehearsal or concert or more than three unexcused absences from rehearsals are grounds for dismissal from CYSO.  If you do not call your registrar when you are absent, that will be considered an unexcused absence.

Please  contact your registrar if you will be absent or tardy

Schedule Changes

Times, dates, and locations listed on the schedule are always subject to change.  We will make every effort to notify students of any changes at rehearsals and to record such changes on our office phone message, (206) 417-5677, post them on our facebook page and send out an e-mail alert.  Students absent from rehearsals are responsible for obtaining the notices of any change in the schedule.

Snow Day Policy

If the Edmonds School District is closed because of inclement weather, rehearsal is cancelled. You may call the office at (206) 417-5677, check our facebook page or website.  An e-mail notice will also be sent out.

Mid-Winter and Spring Break

When rehearsals are scheduled during your school’s vacation time, you are required to be at rehearsal if you are in town. If you will be out of town for the vacation, you must notify your registrar in advance.
