For a school concert, illness, or family emergency:
Notify the Rehearsal Aide for your division BEFORE your scheduled rehearsal time. An Absence Form is NOT necessary for this type of absence. Without prior notification, it will be marked as an unexcused absence. To erase this unexcused absence, you need to bring a note from a parent explaining your absence.
For all other absences:
Ask your Rehearsal Aide for an Absence Form. Fill it out completely and return it to your Rehearsal Aide TWO WEEKS before your anticipated absence. This form will be given to your Conductor to review. The form will be returned to your Rehearsal Aide and it will be indicated whether the absence is considered “excused” or “unexcused”. Your Rehearsal Aide will keep a copy and you will be given a copy.
OR
Fill out the online Absence Form and submit it (it is not necessary to send us a hard copy). We will bring it to the next rehearsal for review by your Conductor. (Check with your rehearsal aide at the rehearsal to make sure he/she has it.) You will be given a copy after your Conductor returns it.
Please see your Handbook for complete absence information.
Do not call the MYS office to report an absence.
Call your Rehearsal Aide.
