ALTERNATIVE PICK UP

Studio 170 is dedicated to the safety and well being of all students. If a student is being dropped off/picked up by someone other than the typical individual or is NOT permitted to be picked up by a certain individual, please let the instructor know by private BAND message or email.

​

LATE
If you are ever late for pick up, please enter through the front door in Peshtigo and go to the classroom in Crivitz.  Your student is with an instructor for the start of the next class.

Emergencies happen; however, if a student is habitually (more than 3 times) picked up later than 10 minutes after class, a rate of $5 for every five minutes late is charged to cover the expense of supervising the student.

ATTENDANCE

Regular attendance is essential to ensure the personal growth of your student. However, if your student displays any signs of illness, please do NOT allow them to attend class. If students become ill or show signs of illness upon arrival to the studio, a parent may be notified that early pickup is required.

TARDINESS
The warm up time at the beginning of class is very important and risk of injury is greater if warm ups are missed. Late students who miss warm ups need to warm up individually before joining the class or observe that day.
 

ABSENCES
Please call, email or message the studio to let the instructor know if your child is going to be absent. There are no refunds for missed classes. Make-up classes are available as an option, but are not required. Students may make-up a missed class by taking a similar class offered by contacting Miss Meg. Absences must be made up within two weeks of the missed class.

​

PERFORMANCES
If a student misses multiple classes and has no to minimal knowledge of the class/production material, the instructor meets with parent(s) and reserve the right to withdraw the student from the performance, no tuition or costume refunds given due to dismissal.
