Attendance Policy
Purpose of the Policy
The purpose of the policy is to ensure that students are fully committed to completing the program as it is designed, to ensure that each student team has a high-level of participation and support from all the members of their team, to ensure that students get the full value out of their program, and to ensure we are able to deliver what we are committed to delivering: the development of each student’s confidence and competence with raw food preparation by the end of the program.
The Policy (for the 8-Week Program)
Students promise to attend and be on time for all sessions, unless communicated on orientation day, and to attend a minimum of 6 sessions. In addition, all students agree to attend the Group Orientation at the Start of the program, as well as the Completion Party at the conclusion of the program.
The Policy (for the Weekend Intensive)
Students promise to attend and be on time for all sessions and to attend class on all days (Friday evening, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday). In addition, all students agree to stay through the Completion Party at the conclusion of the program.
