WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU AND YOUR CHILD TAKE CLASSES AT
PDS DURING COVID-19 / CORONAVIRUS

Please read this form and the attached liability waiver carefully. Then sign and return both forms PRIOR to your child taking class. Your child will not be permitted into class until we have both signed forms on file.

The virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread to others by infected persons who have few or no symptoms. Even if an infected person is only mildly ill, the people they spread it to may become seriously ill or even die. Because of the hidden nature of this threat, everyone should rigorously follow the mandated practices and protocols specified by Executive Orders issued by State, County, and Local authorities, all of which facilitate a safe and measured reopening of New Jersey. The virus that causes COVID-19 is still circulating and We MUST continue to observe practices that protect everyone, including the most vulnerable.

Since the mandatory statewide closure due to COVID-19, we want to assure you that we are taking the health and safety of our students, parents, teachers and employees very seriously as we reopen the studio. There are many new safety precautions and sanitation measures that we are implementing. Below is an overview of what you can expect when you return to PDS.

NEW SAFETY PROCEDURES:

• Do not come to class if you, your child, or any household member has any of the following symptoms: Fever of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, fatigue, dry cough, difficulty breathing, sore throat, chills, loss of taste or smell, muscle aches.

• If you or your child have been ill or around someone who has been ill, please wait 14 days to return to the studio.

• Arrive early for your class, allowing an additional 5-10 minutes for check-in procedures and for us to sanitize the studios.

• Upon arriving, we will check-in your child at the door. Everyone entering the building will have their temperature taken using a no-touch digital thermometer. Please do not leave your child until we have cleared their temperature.

• Our lobby area is restricted, and is closed to minimize traffic.
- If your child is 6-years-old and above, you will wait outside of the studio until the child's class is over.
- The waiting area and lobby will ONLY be open to parents/guardians with children 5 and under. Only one parent/guardian may await these children.

• All employees, parents and children will be required to wear a face mask/covering at all times.



• Students will be required to bring their own hand sanitizer. They will apply sanitizer each time they touch a surface in the studio, until such time as they can adhere to CDC recommended hand washing procedures.

We will continue to practice social distancing of at least 6 feet the entire time, where possible.
Students will be distanced by AT LEAST 6 feet in the studios.

To see the distancing layout and capacity, see the attached PDF document with the floor-plans for each studio.

Your child must keep their personal items at home. Children must come dressed for class as changing rooms will be closed. No personal belongings are allowed in the studio, with the exception of water, sanitizer, and if needed, inhalers and epipens.


Enrollment Options

In-Studio Class Option: To keep occupancy in the studios to safe limits we are only able to have 8-15 students in a class, depending on which studio your child is in. Registration for in-studio classes is on a first come first serve basis.

Online-Only Option: You may choose to have your child take class online only. If we are able to completely open the studio before the end of the year, the student may convert to a studio class if space permits.

Waitlisting: The advantage of having online class - if a class is waitlisted, students may register and take the class online, and then join in-studio if space becomes available.

Make-up Classes: Because of the extra limitations on occupancy, if a student misses a class, they can only make it up online.


Contingencies

Should there be a spike in COVID-19 cases and we are forced into a "shelter-in- place" situation again, all classes will continue online.

Tuition will be the same whether a student is taking classes in-studio or on-line.

Tuition during COVID will be on a month-to-month basis and your commitment is on a monthly basis. I understand that there will be no refunds or credits of any kind once a month has been paid. This includes termination of a student's registration due to conduct or contract violations.






Assurances

Employees are following strict sanitation and disinfecting procedures all day long. These procedures include but are not limited to frequent hand washing, disinfecting ballet barres, floors, door handles and knobs, restrooms and all high touch areas.

Thank you so very much for your kindness and support during this difficult time in history. We look forward to seeing your child in class!

I have read and agree to the policies stated above.
