The education of a student is best served when the studio, parents and families share a commitment to collaboration, open lines of communication, mutual respect, and when roles, responsibilities, and expectations are clearly defined. BDS reserves the prerogative to enroll students and families who fully embrace the mission, vision, policies, and procedures adopted by the studio. It is a further expectation that parents and families will address any concerns in a positive and supportive manner, avoiding public actions or criticism detrimental to BDS or its employees. Points below further clarify the expectations intended to ensure an orderly, respectful, and secure educational environment.
