Grassland Dance Academy’s Restroom Policy
Safety of your children is of the utmost importance to us at GDA. Our policy is that GDA’s dance instructors, staff and assistants CANNOT accompany your child into the bathroom.
If you are not present and your child needs to use the restroom, your child will be escorted to the bathroom, but the instructor or staff member will remain outside the restroom and the door will be left open. GDA teachers and staff will not be able to wipe any children, but can assist in getting dance attire back in place if needed. Guardians/Parents of students 5 years of age and older will be released from class independently to use the restroom across the lobby during class. We highly encourage all students to use the restroom prior to class starting.
Guardians/Parents agree that GDA is not responsible for children when a child leaves class to use the bathroom. Please make sure your child uses the restroom before class.
