Step by step guide to attending class at JCSOD:
We ask that all students are registered before attending class and all home health checks are done to insure all students are well before entering the studio. A virtual waver (found on our websites parent portal) must be signed and understood before entering for the first class.
All students will enter from the studios main doors to help insure safety and sanitization. If needed please line up on the social distancing markers outside within the pylons. We ask that students arrive early (at least 15 minutes before class) to insure plenty of time to get dancers into class safely without the last minute rush. Please make sure you have your masks on when entering the building
Only one parent with children 5 and under (no siblings) will be allowed into the studio waiting area. Our lobby is closed and there will be no seating.
Anyone entering JCSOD must wear masks in the building and will have their hands sanitized upon entry.
Students will then line up outside the room for their class on social distanced markings.
Upon entering the studio class rooms children 5 and under can have one parent stand with them on their social distancing markers until they go into class. Parents are then able to leave the studio as we have their numbers and will call them if needed or they can wait in the waiting area.
We ask that students have their own dance bag to bring into the studios with them. Change rooms are closed and students will be given an individual spot within the perimeter of the studio for their bag.
Outdoor shoes are not allowed inside the studios and should be placed inside their dance bag.
If a student needs to use the washroom we ask that they put on their masks and in addition to properly washing hands that they also use sanitizer when returning to class.
If a student has a break between classes they will be given a socially distant space to wait until their next class. Students are welcome to have a school safe snack and water while they wait. We ask that once they are done eating that they reapply their masks and sanitize their hands.
When in class masks are optional for students while dancing.
Each student will be given a social distancing square to dance in and must respect all social distancing protocol.
If children are feeling ill we ask that they stay home and are welcome to tune into the class virtually though ZOOM. Please contact the office to coordinate the codes needed.
Any students within the studio who are not feeling well will immediately be isolated and sent home.
Once class is done students will have their hands sanitized and be asked to put back on their masks.
After class students will be escorted by a staff member to the main doors for pick up. We ask that parents wait outside on the grass area and come forward to meet them.
Children MUST be picked up on time.
If you have any questions for the teachers or office staff we ask that you give us a call at (905) 970-9877 and we would be happy to speak with you. In addition if we need to speak with you we will contact you as soon as possible.
We have worked endlessly to insure all safety and protocols are met please try help us by following these guidelines and being as prepared as possible.
The studios will be sanitized daily with a hospital grade disinfecting fogger, all common areas and surfaces will be disinfected regularly. In addition all studios have fresh air (weather permiting) or a Hepa air purifier.
If your child is opting for ZOOM classes please make sure the office is aware and you have received the codes for the classes.
