Does the futur proche also require le futur after quand and pendant que?

Bonjour,

I think that the Futur Proche follows the rule in this lesson but I could not find any confirming examples. Can someone confirm that the following sentence is correct?

Je vais nettoyer l'appart pendant que tu seras partie.

Thanks,

John
