ALL STUDENTS are required to behave according; which means listening to teachers' instructions, being respectful to their peers/teachers, and not being a distraction in class. Bullying is not acceptable and should be made aware to the teacher or Jenny as soon as possible. PARENTS The teacher should not be disrupted during class time for questions or discussion, please call or e-mail with any queries you may have. If you need to make a payment and the desk is unattended please knock on the studio door and we will help you out. Do not contact teachers on their personal social media platforms. Students should arrive to class at least 5 minutes early; being late to lessons is distracting for the teacher and other students. Parents must be ready to collect children 5 minutes earlier than the class completion time, as our duty of care does not extend past the end of class time. A good attendance rate to class is imperative, children cannot learn if they are inconsistent. Anyone missing more than 4 classes per term may not be permitted to be involved with things like exams, competitions, and the end of year concert. If your child is absent for any reason please be courteous and inform teachers by lodging absences in your app or contacting Jenny and Aimee via text or email. Dancing is a team sport and it is extremely helpful for teachers to know when students will be missing. Please try to remember courtesy when texting, messaging or emailing when it comes to timekeeping. After a full day of admin or work, and an evening of teaching it is really appreciated that late-night contact waits until the next following business day.
