I will immediately notify Dance Techniques management if I become aware of any person with whom my child or I have had contact exhibits any of the symptoms listed in Number 3 above, is advised to self-isolate, quarantine, or has tested positive, or is presumed positive for COVID OR OTHER HEALTH RELATED ILLNESS. Further, I will immediately notify Dance Techniques management if anyone from my place of employment is presumed positive or tests positive for COVID OR OTHER HEALTH RELATED ILLNESS whether or not I have had direct contact with that person.
6. I understand that Students entering our studio will be in contact with children, families and employees who are also at risk of community exposure. I understand that no list of restrictions, guidelines or practices will remove 100% of the risk of exposure to a HEALTH RELATED ILLNESS as the virus can be transmitted by persons who are asymptomatic and before some people show signs of infection. I understand that I play a crucial role in keeping everyone in the facility safe and reducing the risk of exposure by following the practices outlined herein.
7. Should there be a spike in COVID OR OTHER HEALTH RELATED ILLNESS cases, and we are forced into a shelter-at-home situation again, all classes will continue virtually. Tuition will remain the same for any amount of time spent doing virtual classes.
I certify that I have read, understand, and agree to comply with the provisions listed herein. I acknowledge that failure to act in accordance with the provisions listed herein or with any other policy or procedure outlined by Dance Techniques will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of my registration. I acknowledge that my activity may be terminated if it is determined that my actions or lack of action unnecessarily exposes another dancer, their family member, or any DTCD employee to COVID OR THER HEALTH RELATED ILLNESS.
