Absences for ensembles 

Parents must go through MyPymble and indicate if their daughter is going to be absent for a rehearsal. Students are encouraged to email their conductor, with a parent copied in, to explain their absence. Unexplained absences will be noted along with tardiness. Teachers have a duty of care, and we have also encountered situations where a student has been dropped off in the morning and not attended their rehearsal. Please help us keep your daughter safe by completing the absence notification on MyPymble.
