Teacher - Student/Parent Communication Policy
Intro:
Good communication between teacher and student as well as between teacher and parent, are very important to Port Townsend Ballet. Effective communication is professional, appropriately timed, clear, concise, and tactful. For this reason, Port Townsend Ballet is asking that all students, parents, and teachers read this policy thoroughly and ask Jennifer Hardesty, Executive Director if you have any questions or concerns, or feel that you cannot abide by the set forth rules. Please keep in mind that these rules are to help protect the privacy of the teachers, parents, and students, and to uphold professionalism in all interactions.
Policy:
+ Students under the age of 18 will not call or text PTB staff members’ personal cell phones.
+ If Students need to communicate with a teacher, they can talk to their teacher in the studio, send an email to info@porttownsendballet.com and Jennifer Hardesty will relay the message, or ask their Parent to do so.
+ Parents will not call or text PTB staff members’ personal cell phones. Email info@porttownsendballet.com or call (530) 521-1006 with any questions, comments, or concerns
Exceptions:
+ Parents and Students under the age of 18 (with their parent’s consent) are permitted to call and text Jennifer Hardesty, Executive Director’s personal cell phone number as this is also the official studio phone number at this time. (530) 521-1006.
+ Competition Team Parents are permitted to call Coach Jazmin if she has given you her phone number, however, email is preferred in most cases (regarding topics such as scheduling, fundraising, costumes, etc): coachjazminptb@gmail.com
+ Competition Team Students under the age of 18 are not permitted to call or text Coach Jazmin except in case of emergency (for example, the student is at the competition and gets separated from the group and needs to call Coach Jazmin to find them).
+ If the Student under the age of 18 is related to the Teacher (daughter, son, niece, nephew, etc), obviously these restrictions do not apply.
Special circumstances arranged and approved by Teacher, Parent and/or Student (with Parent’s consent), and Jennifer Hardesty, Executive Director.
