DROP OFF/PICK UP AND IMPORTANT GUIDELINES
- We believe the presence of multiple adults and parents creates a distraction to learning. Therefore, we do not allow classes to be observed. Drop off and pick up is done via curbside only. We will ensure that your child gets in and out of the studio safely.
- Children should be fully dressed in their dance attire prior to class.
- We kindly ask that all students be picked up immediately following the end of class.
- Please bring a water bottle with your childs name on it. No food is allowed.
HEALTH, SAFETY, AND ABSENCES
For the joint interest of individual wellness and community safety, students should stay home if they are unwell, especially if they have a contagious illness such as COVID, flu, etc. Students must be fever-free for 24 hours prior to attending class. We understand that circumstances may arise that prevent students from attending class. In these instances, we kindly as that the students absence be reported so that we may accurately track attendance. To report an absence, please email [email protected] with the students, class level, and the date of absence.
