Parent Conduct/Etiquette

The Studio strives to create a positive, supportive, and respectful environment for all students, parents, instructors and volunteers. To maintain this atmosphere, we ask that all parents/guardians adhere to the following etiquette and conduct guidelines while at the studio or attending studio events.

GENERAL CONDUCT

  • Be Respectful: Communicate politely. Discuss concerns privately with the Board of Directors—not during class or in front of students.

  • Behavior Expectations: Disruptive, unsafe, or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. Repeated issues may result in dismissal.

  • Supervise Siblings: Children not in class must be supervised at all times.

 

ATTENDANCE & TIMELINESS

  • Arrive On Time: Late arrivals disrupt class and may miss warm-ups. Repeated late arrivals may result in dismissal from class/The Studio.

  • Early Drop-Off: Arrivals more than 15 minutes early may be charged an early drop-off fee.

  • Late Pickup: Late pickups (over 15 minutes) will be charged $15 per half hour. Please notify us if you're running late.

  • Regular Attendance: Consistent attendance is important. Too many absences may affect class placement or performance eligibility.

 

COMMUNICATION & CONCERNS

  • How to Raise Issues: Contact the Board via email at thestudiohavre@gmail.com or leave a note in the payment box.

  • No Instructor Confrontations: Please don’t bring up concerns with instructors before, during, or after class.

  • Zero Tolerance for Bullying: Any form of harassment or bullying—verbal, written, or online—toward anyone in the studio community will result in suspension or removal of your child.

 

STUDIO EVENT PARTICIPATION

  • Performance Attendance: Dancers must attend all required rehearsals and performances.

  • Volunteering: Volunteers are essential. If you sign up, please follow through. Lack of volunteers may reduce the opportunities we have for performances and community events and may ultimately result in charging a volunteer fee.

 

DISCIPLINARY ACTION

  • Policy Violations: May result in warnings, suspension, or removal based on the severity.

  • Dismissal: If dismissed, no refunds will be given. Prepaid costumes will still be provided when available.

 

AGREEMENT

Enrollment at The Studio of Dance and Arts confirms your agreement to follow this policy. Thank you for helping us maintain a respectful and supportive environment.
