As a parent or guardian of a dancer at Ohana School of Performing Arts, I understand and agree to the following policies and expectations:
Communication:
Email is the primary method of communication from Ohana. I acknowledge that the email address used for registration is the one I will monitor for all studio correspondence.
It is my responsibility to regularly check this email for important information and announcements from Ohana.
I will promptly notify Ohana management if my email address changes.
Class Etiquette & Instructor Contact:
To ensure a focused learning environment, I will not interrupt my dancer's classes for non-emergency questions or to observe without a prior invitation into the room.
For messages or questions for my dancer's instructor, I understand I can leave a message at the front desk.
I will not use text messages or personal Facebook accounts to contact my dancer's instructors or Ashley regarding Ohana-related inquiries. All such inquiries should be directed to Info@OhanaPerformingArts.com.
Fees & Payments:
The annual membership fee, applied at the time of registration through June 30, 2026, is non-refundable.
Monthly tuition is due by the 1st of each month. This includes September tuition, which is due upon registration, and October tuition, due on October 1, 2025.
Payments received after the 5th of the month will incur a $5 late fee.
Payments received after the 10th of the month will incur an additional $10 late fee (totaling $15).
I understand these late fees must be included with my tuition payment and cannot be waived from my account.
Un-enrollment Policy:
If my dancer un-enrolls from their class(es) after December 31, 2025, I am required to pay tuition for the entire dance year.
Statements & Absences:
Monthly statements will be sent via email. I understand I can pay online through my Dance Studio Pro Parent Portal at any time, or by cash or check dropped off at the studio.
I understand that if my dancer misses class due to personal reasons, holidays, or snow days, I am still responsible for making on-time tuition payments, and any applicable late fees will still apply.
Cancellations (Snow Days):
For information regarding snow day cancellations, I will check the Ohana website, my email for an official announcement, or the Ohana Performing Arts Facebook page before contacting the studio.
Performances & Shows:
My dancer is expected and encouraged to attend and participate in all studio shows throughout the year.
When show dates are announced, it is my responsibility to alert the owner and the teacher if my child cannot participate or attend.
Fundraisers:
I understand that participation in scheduled fundraisers is optional and can help defray the cost of my dancer's costumes.
Missed Choreography & Attendance:
My dancer is responsible for learning any choreography missed during classes they did not attend.
I understand that consistent attendance is imperative to the learning process and will make every effort to ensure my child attends each class.
Costume Payments:
If I pay for my dancer's costume late (after January 15, 2026), I am solely responsible for any additional shipping fees associated with the late order.
Photo & Video Release:
I grant permission to Ohana School of Performing Arts to record my student's participation on video or by photograph, and to use these for promotion and public relations on the studio's website and social media channels.
If I do not wish to grant this permission, I must send an email to info@ohanaperformingarts.com stating this in writing.
Special Needs Communication:
It is my responsibility as the guardian to communicate any specific needs my child may have (medical, emotional, or otherwise) with their instructor. This ensures we can provide the best possible experience for all students.
