Attendance Policy

If your child is absent from school or leaves during the school day, you do not need to contact Dr. Tietze.
If your child is at school but cannot attend rehearsal for any reason, please phone Dr. Tietze at (415) 567-2020 ext 213, leave him a note in his school mailbox, or contact him on the St. Brigid’s portal.
Any children who are absent without notification will be marked unexcused. Three unexcused absences will result in expulsion from the choir.
All scheduled performances are mandatory, including those during school holidays. For all performances we need to receive prior notification for any absences and the reason for the absence; the only valid excuses are illness or serious family commitments (the same criteria as for school absences). Allowance is also made for participation in important sports games (play-off games, or when the absence of the student will cause the student’s team to forfeit a game).
