Parent/Guardian Code of Conduct:
* Honesty and integrity are expected.
* Parents are encouraged to support their child’s/children’s involvement and help them enjoy the art of dance.
* Parents must always demonstrate respect for faculty and staff.
* Parents will not engage in inappropriate conduct towards instructors, staff, other dancers, and families.
* Parents must refrain from the physical, mental, emotional or cyber bullying of dancers, staff, or instructors, including such social media postings.
* With regard to injuries, families are urged to seek qualified medical opinions promptly.
* All dancers under the age of 12 must be picked up by a parent or guardian, unless a note from the parent is sent with child.
* We will never leave a child at the school alone without supervision. However, please be prompt with pick up times. If you are over 15 minutes late to pick up a child after the last class at the studio, you will be charged $15 for every fifteen minutes you are late.
* Faculty phone numbers, addresses, or emails will not be given out to students or parents. If you need to communicate directly with faculty, you may do so by utilizing the Dance Studio Pro portal.
* Parents must remember that children participate in dance for their own enjoyment!
