Studio reopens to in person learning Feb. 16th!
We are exited to be able to reopen to in person learning under the new AHS guidelines as of Feb. 16th. The new guidelines call for 3m distancing, so some of our larger classes will be switching to an in person/online hybrid schedule. Please check your emails for more details on your class schedule.
When you return, your entry and exit plan will look different as we have tried to come up with the most efficient way to keep our students warm and have them ready for their class for an on-time start. Parents please review this new entry procedure with your student prior to next week so they know what to expect. For the younger students (Movers and Primary Levels) our CTA's will be at the entry door to great your child and to help them get settled.
Entry Plan
- Parents – please ensure you have completed your dancers attendance using the check in feature in your parent portal, before they enter the studio.
- Students make sure your have your mask on as you approach the studio. Students must remained masked at all times, unless instructed to remove their mask by the instructor during physical activity. No one may enter the studio without a mask.
- Please enter through the main studio doors (not the studio doors) approximately 5 mins before your class starts, following 2m social distancing. Only one family is allowed inside the entry way doors at a time, please wait until the doorway is clear before entering the studio.
- Please note our waiting rooms and observation windows are still closed.
- We encourage all parents to wait in their vehicles and not enter with their children unless absolutely necessary. Staff will be on hand to help the students change and line up once inside.
- Once inside take off your boots only, place them in a plastic shopping bag to help keep our floors clean and dry. (Please bring this from home)
- Grab a plastic bin.
- Proceed directly to the waiting room and sit down on one of the socially distanced stickers (the ones with the dance shoes on them) Dancers must stay 2m distant throughout this process.
- While you are on your square:
- continue to wear your mask.
- take off your outdoor gear and place it in your bin
- put on your dance shoes
- wait for further instructions from your teacher
Exit Plan
- Dancers will change into their outdoor gear inside the studio and will now exit the studio through the physical door to their studio (A or B).
- Please ensure you are on time to pick them up.
- If you are waiting for them outside of your vehicle please remember the following:
- ensure you are wearing a mask
- maintain 2 m distance from all other families (this can be measured easily by leaving one empty parking stall between individuals) Parking lot behaviour will be monitored and all government mandated restrictions must be followed.
- Please keep clear of the front sidewalk as there will be students trying to enter/exit the studio.
We are so excited to welcome your dancer(s) back and we appreciate everyone's resilience during this tough time. Together we are stronger and we will get through this as a community!
Best regards,
Miss Erin & The ITD Staff
