CITIZENSHIP GRADING:
All students start each term with an “S” in Citizenship
No one’s Citizenship is final until the end of the term
CMMS has a school-wide rubric for determining Citizenship grades. We have defined the following as student behaviors that support learning. Some of these student behaviors are also included in the state standards that make up the letter grade in the Fine & Performing Arts (especially participating and working within classroom procedures to make ensemble and group work effective). Good rehearsal procedure dictates that we do everything together or NOT AT ALL. Students will need to be ready to effectively work as an entire group and to be supportive of individuals as they perform by themselves or as part of a group. This supportive and accepting environment will help each individual to feel comfortable as they work to improve their skills. Students who are disrespectful to other performers and have difficulty appropriately supporting their classmates will need to be removed, have their Citizenship grade dropped, and may be asked to find another class. Please be aware that gum is not allowed in the Choir room, during class, or during performance.

QUICK REHEARSAL GUIDELINES:
- No gum, food, or drink (except water in a re-sealable container)
- Ms Swallow does not give out hall passes - bring everything you will need; use the bathroom during passing period; emergencies & medical concerns are handled on an individual student basis
- Remember all performance requires risk. Students are graded on the willingness to be part of the performance process (willingness to risk and participate, to receive feedback, and to refine performance until it is more effective -- actors take chances and make choices!)
