Continuous Parent Communication System
SDS uses a "green, yellow, red" system of continuous parent communication regarding the status of classes which can be found on our website and social media. Green indicates to attend face to face classes as usual. Yellow indicates a cautionary change to service delivery, so please check your email. Red indicates dancers should stay at home and attend class online.

Attendance
I understand that students are expected to attend class regularly. Students arriving more than 10 minutes late may be asked to sit out that class. If students are excessively absent before the recital, missing more than 3 class rehearsals from (March-June) they will be pulled from their recital dances at the discretion of the Teacher and Director.
Arrivals/Departures/Supervision
I understand that Showcase cannot provide supervision for students outside of class. Students may not arrive earlier than 10 minutes before their class begins and must be picked up immediately after their class is over. I understand that for safety reasons SDS employees will not take students to the restroom. If my child may need assistance I will remain in the studio.
Students may not be dropped off and picked up at the curb. The parking lot is extremely busy and this is a very dangerous practice. Please park and walk your student to and from the studio. This policy is to be observed regardless of the weather.

Code of Behavior
I understand that students and parents are expected to respect and willingly abide by all rules and regulations of the studio. If a student or parent slanders students or staff they will be asked to find another studio to attend. Failure to adhere to studio policies by parents or students may result in disenrollment and forfeiture of all previously paid fees.
Class Placement
Class placement is at the discretion of the Studio Director and teacher. Students that are enrolled in levels that they are not recommended for will be removed from the class and transferred to the appropriate level.
