Deborah MacKay School of Dance Policies 23-24
1- Parents agree to keep their child home if they do not feel well,
2--Arrive in the parking lot 5 minutes before class ends so pick up runs smoothly.
Waiting room policy.
Parents of young/new students are welcome in the waiting room before and after class to pick up your child.
All other students: We will continue to use our outside exits through studio A and B. Park on the closest side to your child's exit (TBA) so they don't cross into the traffic lanes when getting to your car.
Students enter the west side and exit the east side doors if you use the vestibule. It is more organized and quieter in the waiting room when it's less crowded! However if you want to wait inside you are welcome to.
Cars: Please enter on the west entrance by the mailbox and exit the east by the farm. Much safer!
School Policy
Absence from class is not refundable but can be made up in a comparable class. There are no refunds once the first class has been taken. Once a class has been taken within a new term, payment is due in full for that term. Tuition is due the first day of each quarter and parent agrees to pay each quarter unless written withdrawal is received.
Please report your student absence through your portal by 2:00 p.m. same day if possible. You can report an absence same day or future but not after.
In your portals, there is a folder DSP instructions. There is help in there for reporting absences, how to pay online, etc.
Class withdrawal: If dropping a class written e mail is required 2 weeks prior to the beginning of the next term.
All accounts (tuition, costume, any other dance related costs) must be paid before handing out costumes.
Participation in the school means you agree to pay for the costume in full, once they have been ordered. If student does not participate in the show or withdraws from the school once they have been ordered, parent is still responsible for all costume costs. The costume companies do not refund me, and I pay up front and in full to get you the best price.
To participate in the show, you are agreeing to attend all mandatory rehearsals on the stage, and miss no more than three classes of each subject between December and May. If you miss more than three, the director will make the best decision (regarding participation) that will benefit the entire class. We understand there are exceptions. Check your calendar for vacations, concerts etc. by DECEMBER 1 so you aware of potential conflicts.
If you are able to schedule your vacations at the same time as our school that will cut down on absences.
The director reserves the right to terminate service to any family as a result of abuse toward any member of the staff or other students. There will be no refund of tuition or costume monies with this termination.
Participation in the annual recital will be terminated to any family as a result of any abuse, or behavior that is negative to the studio. It is the exclusive decision of the director.
Any videos of choreography taken at the studio, stage or any event associated with the dance school, will not appear on facebook, you tube or any other social network without written permission from myself. It is a copyright issue. Please make your child aware of this policy.
In registering my child I understand that dance is a physical activity and an injury may occur.
I will comply with all policies of the school listed above and meet all financial obligations. In the event it becomes necessary to refer the account for collection, the undersigned parent or legal guardian is liable for all collection fees, and/or attorney fees, and interest, up to 3% per month, on the balance due.
