MLSD BUILDING & CLASS
POLICIES
Building Entrance and Exit Process
o Dancers will be using a FRONT DOOR DROP OFF & FRONT DOOR PICK UP process. Lobby waiting area is for students only, as we do not have the space permitted to hold all family members of all children dancing at the same time. Parents should drop off their child at the FRONT of their designated studio no more than 5 MINUTES BEFORE the start of their class. Parents of young children should walk their child to the front door. Parents of older children can drop off, but please pull up to the door to avoid them having to cross the street.
o Dancers will take their dance bag, shoes and water bottle into class. No additional items, please.
o Upon entering each class, there will be hand sanitizer if your dancer chooses to use some.
o After class, dancers will line up single file and our instructors walk them to the front where they will be dismissed.
o PARENTS with children 6 AND UNDER should walk with their child up to the front doors. It is also suggested that these parents considering waiting in their cars in our parking lot during class (especially during the first couple of weeks) to ensure their child is comfortable in their new surroundings.
o ALL PARENTS be aware that our waiting area is for students only. Parents should wait in their vehicles, take a walk, run an errand or shop our dancewear store. The exception to this is our Tot Dance parents. Parents will be able to view classes in person during our Parent Observation days during the regular season. Schedule is posted on our front door, in your parent portal and emailed out.
