Illness & Attendance

Colds, flu, and other contagious illnesses occur frequently and spread easily among children. To help protect your own child’s health and to minimize the possibility of contagion at school, please keep your child at home if you observe any of the following symptoms:

• Nasal discharge that is green or yellow 
• Complaints of ear pain
• Consistent cough
• Severe sore throat
• Eyes that are pink, burning, itching, or producing discharge
• Diarrhea or vomiting
• Fever
• 
  

If these symptoms or other conditions are observed in your child during a class, you will be called to pick up your child immediately.

When your child has a fever, please keep him/her at home until the temperature returns to normal. If there are any lingering signs of illness, such as glassy or watery eyes, listlessness, and drowsiness, please keep your child at home. This will help to ensure that the illness has passed and that your child will be well enough to resume class activities the following week.

Email us as soon as possible if your student is going to miss class for any reason. Classes missed due to unforeseen circumstances can be made up within a month of the date of the absence. An email requesting a make-up class must be sent no later that 48 hours before the make-up class time. Tuition will not be discounted due to missed classes. 

Students are permitted to attend a class of the same or lower level as a makeup option. Please let the studio know via email in advance, 

Attendance is critical during recital season as we prepare choreography in each class. Please make sure your child attends regularly.
