The spring semester has started which means we are beginning to prepare for recital! The dancers will begin learning their recital routines, and their costumes will start arriving for them to try on. Be sure your dancer comes home with a Spring Important dates sheet for picture day, spring break, and recital info!

Studio Policies

Student Discipline: The Raven School of Dance reserves the right to dismiss any child from the studio with numerous disciplinary problems. In the case of a dismissal, the student will receive no tuition reimbursement.

Inclement Weather Policy: In the event of Atchison Public School cancellation due to inclement weather, Raven School of Dance classes will be cancelled as well. The Raven School of Dance reserves the right to reschedule any classes. If a dancer is unsure of whether classes are in session or not, please call Madeline's cell phone at 913-370-5292.

Payment: Tuition is due the 15th of every month. Class fees may be found in this packet and at ravenschoolofdance.com. Any payment after the 15th of the month is subject to a late fee of $5. The Raven School of Dance prides itself in being the lowest costing dance studio in Atchison, St. Joseph, and Kansas City. To help us keep our costs down, please make your payments on time. The Raven School of Dance reserves the right to dismiss any student who is 3 months behind on payment.

Recital: Students must be present in classes 2 weeks leading up to the show (not including Easter break). Students are required to be at both the dress rehearsal and the recital. A parent should notify an instructor immediately if a child is unable to attend. The instructors rely on every child being in the performance.

Holiday Breaks: Because our instructors are college students, the studio will run in accordance to Benedictine's school breaks. Holiday breaks are listed on the important date sheet.

Attendance, Illness, or Injury: Attendance is imperative for consistent progress. If a student is going to be absent from class due to unforeseen circumstances, call the instructor and leave a message before class time. If students know in advance that they will be absent from class, please let your instructor know before the day of the class. If students are too ill to participate in class, they should remain at home and rest. If they are injured, they should come to class ad observe. Many students find that they learn more from observing class. This will also keep them apprised of the class's progress.

Comments and Suggestions: We welcome and respect your comments and suggestions. Please feel free to email Madeline Baniewicz at ravendance@benedictine.edu or call her at 913-370-5292.
