EXPECTATIONS WHEN ATTENDING EVENTS

The faculty and staff of School of the Arts are concerned about the safety and well-being of all the members of our community, especially our children. Although we encourage our students to participate in a variety of wonderful extra-curricular and community events, we know that homework, home responsibilities, and a good night’s sleep are critical elements for successful learning.

Our staff will use the following guidelines regarding SOTA events:

EXPECTATIONS

Students are expected to attend a half-day of school on the day of a performance or event. Students will only perform if they meet the attendance policy.

Students in Grades 7 and 8 students are welcomed to attend any after-school building-based activities such as: sporting events, heritage assemblies, recitals, performances, or concerts throughout the year. Please remember to accompany your child for the entire time of the event.

To ensure our safety for all our students, be sure to arrange a timely pick-up of your child prior to the conclusion of all SOTA events.

Your cooperation meeting these expectations will help make SOTA a safer and more secure environment for all children. Thank you.
