Attendance

Attendance is MANDATORY for all OrchKids students during the summer. Because summer programming is only 3 weeks long, consistent attendance is critical. One of our priorities is to establish and highlight the importance of being present and on time for programming. Students are allowed to accrue up to 2 unexcused absences during the 3-week period. Exceeding the number of unexcused absences may result in your student(s) being dismissed from the OrchKids Summer Program or unable to participate in the end of summer concert.
