Following is the Attendance policy for the Debbie Allen Dance Academy. It will be strictly and equally enforced. Every student, without exception, is required to take the minimum number of classes based on their current pre-assigned level.

When requesting an excused absence, it must be made in writing and emailed to the Director of Student Affairs. You will be informed if it is not excused.

Three unexcused tardies within a month will result in an absence. Five unexcused absences within a month will result in a warning letter. Eight unexcused absences within a month will result in a 30 day probation period, where it is our hope that proper attendance will rectify the situation. Failure to meet attendance requirements can lead to suspension, termination or both. Thank you in advance for your support of this important policy.

Sincerely,

Karen McDonald
Director
