Once a student is accepted into IGNITE! or IMPACT!, the spot is theirs to hold onto until they graduate high school. Each Spring, we will ask students to confirm if they will hold their spot or withdraw. Then, based on numbers, we may or may not hold auditions for new members. Students who choose to withdraw would have to re-audition to rejoin the group.
A student can lose their spot. Throughout the year, we expect members to be ambassadors and leaders within our organization and our community in accordance with the Code of Conduct. If a student's behavior, focus, attendance, etc. trend beyond what is acceptable, a conference will be scheduled with the student and their adults as a warning. If they continue to trend out of alignment with the code of conduct, they will be removed from the group at the end of that year. They will be welcome to re-audition in the future, if auditions are made available.
