A.    Students should show up 10 minutes before class time. All students must sign in at the main office. No exceptions. An occasional tardiness is understandable. If the student is more than 10 minutes late, they may observe class, but not participate. If you are late, enter the class quietly and ask the teacher's permission to join the class. Repeated tardiness is unacceptable. Students will line up in an orderly fashion and be led upstairs by their teacher. If the weather is rainy, it is suggested that "crocs" be worn over the ballet slippers to avoid damage to the shoes.

B.     There will be no food in the studios. There is never gum chewing in a ballet class. Students may bring water to drink. Please discard your plastic water bottles in the recycling can.

C.    Talking or any kind of disruption in the classroom will not be tolerated. The student will be warned twice and then asked to be seated and refrain from participating in class. Students with consistent behavior problems will be sent to the Director's office and the parents will be contacted.  All cell phones must be off during class.

D.    Older students, who must enter a class to get to the dressing room, should stop at the door, catch the teacher's eye and get approval to cross through the room quietly. The dressing room must be quiet while the older students wait for class. Please leave the dressing room and studios clean. Throw tissues, Band-Aids, bottles etc in the trash.

E.     Students will not leave the Conservatory premises unless the office has specific written permission from the parents or guardian. Students leaving the premises must wear street clothes. No student will wait outside for a ride. All students will wait inside. Younger students will be accompanied to the car by Conservatory staff, parent or care taker.

F.     Computer lab will be used appropriately. Please share computer time. Any student going to inappropriate sites will be banned from computer use.
