Communication

Email is our primary means of communication with parents.

Our official email address is southdaytonschoolofdance@gmail.com.

Please check your email often for new information and updates from SDSD.
-
If you are not receiving our emails, please check your spam or junk folder first, and then email us if the issue persists.

-
Additionally, we send a monthly newsletter with an abbreviated schedule, reminders, and information about upcoming events, and more!
-
Texts will only be sent for very important reminders or in emergency situations.
Attendance & Promptness
-
Attendance will be monitored closely.
-
Absenteeism will slow down your child’s progress as well as the progress of the entire class.
-
We are committed to developing your child’s talents to their fullest potential; therefore, attendance is expected at each scheduled class.
-
Part of a student’s attendance includes being on time.
Dance students are expected to arrive 5-10 minutes prior to class. -
If a student arrives more than 10 minutes after the start of the class, the
instructor will have her/him sit, observe, and not participate for their
own safety as they will have missed the warmup.
-
-
Recital participation
requires consistent attendance.
Student
Absence Policy/
Make-up Classes
-
If your dancer will be absent from a class, we ask that you enter this absence into our Parent
Portal so that our instructors can plan accordingly. -
Make-up classes are available only if the dancer is ill or if there is a family emergency.
-
Make-up classes are not permitted for absences resulting from participation in other activities.
-
-
If you will miss a class due to illness or emergency, you must schedule your makeup class on the Parent Portal.
-
All missed classes must be made-up within 1 month of the class missed.
