All About Dance! By Kristen has prepared the following information for parents to read and refer to concerning the regulations, studio policies, and payment procedures. Please make your children aware of the policies that apply to them.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Regulations
All students are expected to be on their best behavior.
Courtesy and respect will be shown by our staff and will be expected in
return.
Punctuality is important to your childs success. All classes
will start on time. If students are to steadily progress, they must attend
regularly, be on time, and practice at home. If your child must miss a
lesson, it is your responsibility to notify the desk. If a make up class is
necessary, the parent or student will be informed.
All students must use the provided locker area for storing
coats and other belongings. Please store street shoes in the space provided
under locker area. Make sure all belongings are labeled with your childs
name, so that they may be returned if left in the studio. Refrain from
leaving purses, money, and any valuables in the locker area. If you wish to
rent an enclosed locker for the year, you may do so at the courtesy desk.
For further information, please see item #13 on the Tuition Payment Policy
document. The studio will have a lost and found container, but its unclaimed
contents will be given to the less fortunate every two months.
Only Student Assistants will be permitted in the student
assistant area.
Please keep the studio clean by returning things to their
proper place and by using the trash containers. There is NO SMOKING in the
waiting area. NO GUM CHEWING is permitted while in the studio. FOOD AND
DRINK are to remain ONLY in the lunchroom.
Inclement Weather Cancellation Policy: The studio will be
closed weekdays during our daytime hours (9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.) when the
Stow-Munroe Falls School System closes due to inclement weather. The
cancellation of our evening classes (3:30 p.m. and later) will be determined
by 2:00 p.m. that day. All About Dance is a member of the WKYC-TV 3 I-Alert
school cancellation system. Cancellation information can be found by tuning
to WKYC-TV 3. The entire list of alternate radio and internet information
sources can be found by clicking here: Closing
Policy
Observation Week: Parents are invited and encouraged to
observe their child's progress the last scheduled day of every month October
through January. Due limited space, we ask that only two visitors per family
attend visitors day each month (one parent + one visitor = two people per
family). Children will NOT be permitted in the classroom if they cannot sit
and remain quiet.
Attendance: Perfect Attendance: Students who do NOT MISS ANY
CLASSES will receive a perfect attendance award at the end of the dance
season. If your child must miss a class, lessons may be made up within 2
weeks of the missed lesson by
attending a different class during the week with the approval of your
instructor. Make-up classes do not erase sick days, and therefore do not
maintain a students perfect attendance record. Students must actively attend
at least 1/2 the class to be
counted present. Attendance Merit: In order for a student to be eligible for
an attendance merit certificate, one sick day is allowed throughout the
season. If your child must miss a class, lessons may be made up within 2
weeks of the missed lesson by attending a different class during the week
with the approval of your instructor. Make-up classes do not erase sick
days. They are only an opportunity to learn the missed material.
Questions concerning your childs progress are welcomed.
Please feel free to set up an appointment with the instructor.
Parents, we ask your cooperation in keeping your younger
children (those not attending class) quiet and well attended. The dance
studio is a learning environment where unnecessary noise and distractions
detract from both the classroom and waiting area.
