KidStage Behavior Expectations
We encourage our participants to be loud, energetic, and have fun! We will be playing a lot of theater games and learning about theater terminology and characterization. We will also spend a large part of the class time rehearsing for our final production. Therefore, participants are required to behave in a classroom-conducive manner. This includes, but is not limited to, listening and following the Instructor’s requests and instructions, keeping one’s hands to themselves and not touching others in class nor any property in class that does not belong to them, refraining from the use of inappropriate language, refraining from teasing and negative comments to others in class, never leaving the class without permission from the instructor, and not disrupting the rehearsal process and class.
If your child requires/has an aide with them during the school day, you must have an aide accompany them to KidStage.
This is especially important during the rehearsal times. In theater there are times when the instructor will be working on a scene with a group of actors, and not all actors will be on stage at that time. It is important that those that are not in the scene are respectful, quiet, and not disrupting the rehearsal.
When a student violates or disrupts the class, they will be given a warning. If the disruptive behavior ceases, then no other action is taken.
If they continue to act in an inappropriate way, in a manner that disrupts the learning in the class, or may physically endanger others in the class or property located in the class, they will be placed in a timeout situation and their parents will be contacted after class to notify them of the behavior and to collaborate with the parent on solving the behavior problem so it does not continue.
Parents must be responsive to the instructor and take the situation seriously. We typically ask for them to talk to their children at home about the behavior and use any leverage they may have to motivate the child to change their behavior for the next class.
If the problem persists in the next class after the initial instance of disruptive behavior exhibited by the child, the child will be placed in time out again and at the end of class the parents will be contacted again. At this point there are 2 final solutions/paths to take. 1) The child is expelled from KidStage and no longer continues in the program, or 2) The parents agree to have one adult representative attend the remainder of the classes from start to finish to control the behavior of their child. If the parents do not agree to #2, then #1 is the path that is taken and in these cases NO REFUNDS are provided.
In the case of expulsion from the class, no refunds will be given. Expelling a cast member creates a lot of work for our instructor as well as wreaks havoc with the rest of the class since the casting will have to be adjusted to accommodate for the loss of an actor. Also, if parents are not responsive to our communication, and show no interest in collaborating with our Instructor on solving the behavior issues their child is exhibiting, the child will be expelled from class without a refund.
No Refunds:
By clicking this link I agree to and understand the following: ALL SALES ARE FINAL – No Refunds, No Exceptions. If classes are cancelled due to but not limited to the following things: school closings, force majeure, pandemics, weather, etc, I understand that no refunds nor partial refunds will be given. There are limited spots available for our courses and we secure your child’s spot upon receiving your registration. If for ANY reason you choose or your child cannot otherwise participate in the program for which you’ve registered, you will not receive a refund. We do not assume any liability for the health of your child, if your registered child is injured and cannot participate, you will not receive a refund.
You agree and approve that you will receive no refund for any missed classes (e.g. courses that are partially completed) that must be canceled because of school closures, pandemics, or any other major events that require us to cancel our class outside of our control.
Timeliness of Pick-Up
You agree that a designated adult will pick up your child from our class on time at the end of class. If you are late for pick-up, you could be assessed a fine of $1/minute that you are late past the 5 minute grace period. This fee will be paid directly to the Instructor for the class if it is incurred. Our instructors have other jobs and commitments and if they are late it can adversely impact them financially or professionally. In the event you do not pay any late fees you are assessed we reserve the right to expel your child from the rest of the classes and final production.
