Attendance Information
Consistent attendance demonstrates to children the importance of something. Instilling this quality into a child’s mind is good thing.
Absences
It is the parent’s responsibility to report each and every absence. Please call or email (support@smallballers.ca) prior to 4:00PM the day of your class. Please provide the student’s name and SB class.
Regular SB Session participation is necessary to achieve the best possible developmental results for every student. This policy statement has been created to encourage good attendance and to discourage tardiness. Our goal is to maximize every student’s opportunity during each session possible. Attendance is the responsibility of parents with some help from the students if possible.
Lateness
Being on time is a life skill important to each student’s future, and Small Ballers’ shares the responsibility to teach the importance of this skill. Lateness of individual students interrupts instructional time for all students. Promptness to class allows the teachers to begin the instruction on time for everyone. Lateness to class is defined as not being physically in the room at start of each session.
Student’s Catchup
Ideally students will attend each session, on time and participate fully. It is the hopes of the SB Instructors that the student will also be filled with enthusiasm coming into class. If a student has been absent the staff will get the classes moving forward together in the regular exercises and then catch that student up.
