you can. You will need to set up a Payment Plan with Cindy Starr. Her email balletschoolglyndon@yahoo.com
- If you decide to email her, then in the subject please put “Ballet School of Glyndon –
Payment Plan”. Q: Are
parents and siblings allowed to wait in the hallway or any part of the
building? A: At the
last Steering Committee Meeting of the 2005-2006 school year,
parents voted that our program would be a “drop off/pick up only” program.
This means that parents are not allowed to wait in the hallway
of the school or any part of the building. We have tried our best to schedule
classes back to back so that there isn’t any wait time for students between classes. If your child is
in a class that is 30 minutes long, you may sit in the room and watch as long
as it isn’t distracting to the dancers in the class or the teacher. If the
teacher asks you to leave, then you must follow the direction. In all of the
classes that are grades four and below, there will be a demonstrator who will
be available to help with changing shoes, taking your child to the restroom,
walking your child to the next class, etc. We are sorry for any inconvenience
this may cause but please remember that the school administrators determine
who can use their facilities and after several problems with hallway issues,
we were forced to either change our policy or pay for someone to monitor the
behavior in the school hallway. This was the solution that was decided by the
parents who attended the meeting. Q: If the
class is longer then 30mins and I don’t feel comfortable with my daughter
walking into the building by herself, what do I do? A: Of
course you may walk your child into class and then come in to pick him/her
up. When you are picking your child up, please don’t enter the
building until the class is over. For example, if your child’s class is over at early. Also, the teachers will not send your
children outside after class if they saw you bring your child in. All the teachers at the Ballet
School of Glyndon know that it is very important to make sure that dance class start and end on time and
they will try to make sure they do. Q: My
daughter is in 2nd grade and is taking ballet and tap,
she needs help putting on her shoes. Do I need to come back in between the classes to
help her? A: No,
you do not. In all of the classes that are grades four and below, there will
be a demonstrator who will be available to help with
changing shoes, taking your child to the restroom, walking your child to the
next class, etc. Q: Are you required to attend the Registration
Meeting/ Open House? A: No, you are not, although we strongly recommend
you attend because this gives you an opportunity to meet the Chairperson, Co-Directors, &
Teachers. You can also register your child for dance classes at the meeting. Q: For grades 1-12; how many rehearsals is my child
allowed to miss? A: You child is allowed to miss 2 rehearsals as long
as they let either Tiffany or Kathy know ahead of time. If your child misses 1 rehearsal without letting
Tiffany or Kathy know then they are not in the finale. If they miss more than 2 rehearsals despite
informing us about it than you will not be participating in the finale. Q: Are you required to attend the Costume Meeting in
February? A: Yes, you are. This is the meeting that you will
receive all your child’s costumes and directions on alterations. Also, this gives you an opportunity to talk to
the Costume Committee Chair in person if you have any questions. If you can not attend for some
reason then please let Tiffany or Kathy know. Q: When do your costume alterations have to be
completed by? A: Everyone’s costumes have to be completed by April
16th -20th. Q: I have a question about the alterations on my
child’s costume. Who do I contact? A: You contact the Costume Committee Chair who is
Sharon Baldwin. Her number is on the alternation direction sheet that you will receive with your
costume. Q: I am unable to do the costume alteration to my
child’s costume; what do I do? A: Contact the Costume Committee Chair (Sharon
