Academic Expectations and etiquette
SoFA Expectations and Etiquette
All SoFA students are expected to maintain a “B” Average in all courses in SoFA. Additionally, students will not be able to participate in SoFA extracurricular events if they are currently failing any class. The SoFA holds every student accountable for their academic success and emphasizes a commitment to all academic endeavors, not just in the Fine Arts.
Students must adhere to these rules and expectations when involved and participating in any SoFA organization. Students involved with SoFA should be role models to their classmates and uphold the utmost respect for themselves, their peers, their teachers, and their art.
- Students must arrive for any SoFA event on time and be prepared to begin at the start time.
- Students must come prepared for all SoFA events. Each discipline will provide their own list of materials needed and what to expect with every event.
- Students must maintain a high level of respect for themselves, peers, teachers, and the arts. Disrespect will not be tolerated at any level. The Fine Arts is an incredible medium for self-expression and compassion and a mature, respectful demeanor is expected of everyone involved with SOFA.
