Required Policies and Agreements
This Parent Agreement is made effective upon signing and will remain in effect until May 20, 2018, or until a student is withdrawn. This agreement is between the parent/legal guardian named below and Joy McDaniel Academy of Dance and Gymnastics (hereafter referred to as JMAD). The terms of this agreement are as follows:

Joy McDaniel Academy of Dance and Gymnastics strives to be a positive, respectful, family friendly dance and gymnastics academy.

GENERAL
• Students, parents/legal guardians, guests, and any person(s) associated with students or parents/legal guardians are expected to be attentive, respectful, and polite to all JMAD instructors, staff members, fellow students, parents/legal guardians, and other persons present on the JMAD premises, at any event or function where they are representing JMAD (including but not limited to: performances, recitals, dance competitions, conventions, etc.)
• Gossip, intimidation, abuse, or disrespectful comments of any kind about JMAD, its staff, instructors, affiliates, students, and/or parents/legal guardians will not be tolerated whether on or off JMAD premises.
• Any grievances should be brought to the immediate attention of Joy McDaniel (Owner and Director) and not shared with other parents/legal guardians or students of JMAD past or present.
• The failure of students, parents/legal guardians, guests, and any persons associated with the student or parents/legal guardians to abide by these rules may result in the administrative withdrawal, suspension, or termination of the student.

CLASSROOM
• Students should arrive to class on time, wearing proper attire (leotard, tights, etc.), and with the appropriate shoes.
• Students are expected to participate in class and behave respectfully toward instructors and classmates.
• Instructors are expected to make every effort to cultivate a healthy and respectful learning environment, and therefore reserve the right to implement class specific policies (including but not limited to: dress code, tardiness/absences, language, and cell phones). It is each individual instructor's responsibility to communicate any class-specific policies to students and parents.
• In regard to disruptive behavior in the classroom, instructors may discipline children by using time outs, or withholding rewards (such as stickers) as necessary. Instructors are expected to communicate with parent/legal guardians regarding disruptive behavior.

SOCIAL MEDIA
• JMAD allows and encourages the use of social media to celebrate the hard work of our students and promote the art of dance and gymnastics.
• Slanderous, explicit, or abusive statements, videos, or posts made on any social media accounts including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc... toward, about or in association with JMAD, its staff, instructors, students, Parents/legal guardians, and affiliates will not be tolerated.
• Violation of this regulation may be grounds for immediate administrative withdrawal, suspension, or termination from JMAD.
• JMAD reserves the right to pursue legal action for any slanderous, explicit, or abusive social media posts that may cause harm in any manner to JMAD or its owners, directors, managers, instructors, or employees.
• It is highly recommended that parents/legal guardians supervise the JMAD related pictures and posts on their child's social media accounts.

• Good attendance is imperative, as absences and tardiness can hold back an entire class. The studio cannot jeopardize its responsibilities to the rest of the class for one student.
• I agree to make every effort to have my child at every class. If my child must be absent from any class, I agree to call JMAD ahead of time to inform them of the absence.
• I understand that there will be no refund for any missed classes nor any make-up classes.
• I understand that if my child misses more than 50% of classes, my child may be administratively withdrawn and/or unable to participate in the annual recital.

• A $30 per student Registration Fee is due at the time of registration. Registration fees are non-refundable.

A $25 fee will be charged to all returned bank drafts. A $10 late fee will be added to all declined/returned automatic payments if tuition is not paid by the 15th of the month.
I understand that by choosing Monthly Automatic E-payments and providing my bank account or credit card information, I am authorizing JMAD to debit my checking account or charge my credit card for my tuition payment, and I understand these payments will continue until I notify JMAD in writing to discontinue them or at the completion of the dance year in May.
