ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR PARENTS:

ATTENDANCE AND PICK UP
Students are to arrive on time for class. Students arriving severely late may be asked to sit out of class to reduce the risk of injury after missing warm up. Attendance is very important to learn technique and choreography.
Pick your children up immediately after class. Please call the studio to notify the office if you will be late due to an emergency. NO child will be allowed to leave the studio without a parent or guardian. As the lobby is a bit small, please be respectful of the next class that is going into their class and keep the noise as low as possible.
CenterStage Performing Arts Studio assumes no responsibility for children on the premises before, after, or between their specified class times. Parents and guardians are responsible for arranging proper supervision of their children if it
is necessary for them to stay in the building for periods of time before, after, or in between classes.
