| Absenteeism |

Parents and students are reminded that each student attending class on
a regular basis achieves the best results. Teachers will notify students regarding
alternate classes in which they can make up. Students who consistently miss class or
fail to make up classes missed will be demoted to a lower level class at the teacher's
discretion. |

| Injury Policy |
| • |
Teachers of Hershey School of Dance have the right to verbally and
physically correct a student's body alignment to the best of their ability and
within the student's physical capabilities. |
| • |
If a student is absent from classes due to an injury (sustained at
the studio or not) for more than two weeks, it will be at the teacher's discretion
whether or not they may return to class at the level they were assigned prior to
the injury. |
| • |
Following an injury, no dancer will be allowed to participate in class
(they may sit and watch) until the school's director receives
a signed note from the student's healthcare provider stating the dancer has permission
to return to their regular physical activities. Extended periods of absence or inability
to participate may result in the student being withdrawn from classes for the remainder
of the year. |
| • |
All teachers will inform the school's director of any injuries that take
place in their class and all further communication will be between the Director and
the parent(s) of the injured student. |
