Attendance is imperative to the success of our students and our program. It is a two way street. Our students can not grow and learn and excel if they are not in class. Likewise, the Conservatory’s reputation can not be maintained if our students produce mediocre work.

 

While attendance in our program does not get reported to the state, we do maintain the right to remove students from the program due to attendance issues.

 

Any student that misses 3 enrichment classes in a semester for unexcused reasons and/or without prior notice will be dropped from the class.

 

Any Conservatory student that misses 3 rehearsals for unexcused reasons and/or without prior notice will be dropped from the production.

 

Our Enrichment classes will begin on time. Tardiness will not be tolerated. Once class has begun, the door will be locked and students will not be permitted to attend class. This will, of course, count as an absence.

• Exceptions will be made for unavoidable situations (ie: traffic, doctors appointments, etc) and/or with prior notice.

​

Any student who is not dressed appropriately or leaves a class early will count as an absence. 

• Exceptions will be made for students that have given prior notice.

​

We understand that illnesses happen. A doctor's note may be requested to excuse an absence or tardiness to class/rehearsal.

 

We ask that doctors appointments be scheduled outside of school hours, but understand that that is not always feasible. A note will be required to excuse time missed for said appointments.

 

We also encourage our students to seek professional auditions/work. Any paid opportunity is an excused absence from class. Documentation may be required for the time missed.

 

Examples of excused absences are as follows, but not limited to:

• Professional auditions

• Professional shows

• Internships

• Commercials

• Television/Films (student or otherwise)

• Voice over work/Recording artist sessions

• Theatrical workshops

• Photo Shoots/Headshots

 

* In the event that a student is cast in a show outside of TSP that conflicts with their Enrichment Class(es), they may be removed from that class for the semester. No refund will be given for removal of that class.

 

Students enjoy the luxury of a flexible schedule during the academic and conservatory portion of their day, provided that they maintain good grades and remain in good academic standing.
