When Life Gets in the Way

We understand that conflicts happen - medical appointments, family obligations, and unexpected situations are part of life. Here's how to handle them properly.

IMPORTANT: Submit absence requests at least 24 hours in advance for excused status. For emergencies, contact directors immediately.

Excused Absences

24-hour advance notice required (except emergencies)

Acceptable reasons:

  • Medical emergency or personal sickness

  • Death in the family  

  • Religious holiday

  • Approved school function

  • Pre-approved special circumstances

Contact directors directly - telling another student is not proper notification.

Emergency Contact:
Mr. Kai Rudnick, Head Band Director
Email: kai.rudnick@birdvilleschools.net

Unexcused Absences

May result in:

  • Grade reduction

  • Loss of performance status

Common unexcused reasons:

  • Work, oversleeping, transportation issues

  • Doctor/dentist appointments

  • Family trips, church functions

  • Non-school athletic events

  • Testing (SAT, ACT, etc.)

Note: Leaving band events early is unacceptable except in emergencies.
