Expectations Agreement
 I will treat everyone and their belongings with kindness
and respect. I will never make fun of anyone, especially
when we are performing. If it isn’t mine, I won’t touch it!
 I agree to respect our meeting and rehearsal spaces. I will
never touch or play with CPMS’ and/or Mrs. Wortham’s
property, including props and costumes (unless given
permission). If it isn’t mine, I won’t touch it!
Expectations Agreement
 I will be “on time” (early) and prepared for all meetings,
rehearsals and events. If I’m on time, I’m late!
 I will attend all Drama Club meetings. If a conflict arises, I
will notify Mrs. Wortham or Mrs. Lambert as soon as
possible, with an excuse note from my parent/guardian.
Three unexcused absences = removal from the Drama
Club.
Expectations Agreement
 I will practice proper audience etiquette at all times.
 I will follow directions given by my Drama Club leaders,
and focus my attention on the tasks at hand. I will help
accomplish this by keeping my cell phone, iPod and all
other electronic devices out of sight and out of mind.
 I will never chew gum on stage!
Consequences:
“3 Strikes, You’re Out”
 If Mrs. Wortham and/or Mrs. Lambert have
to warn me about my behavior three times,
I understand I will be removed from the
meeting, rehearsal or event. If I am
removed three times, I understand I will be
removed from the Drama Club altogether.
