Attendance Policy

Regular attendance is necessary to ensure adequate progression and understanding of the required technique. To ensure the best possible experience for your child we encourage regular attendance. We recognize that children are often involved in a number of activities which sometimes can overlap. We kindly ask that you inform your child’s teacher or CDA directly if your child will be absent from their class.

When we draw closer to our year-end performance, regular attendance becomes even more important. Performances are based on group choreography that requires the participation of ALL students in order to progress. Students missing more than 5 classes in any one class for non-medical reasons may be withdrawn from performances. Parents must inform their teacher directly when their child is absent for medical reasons or e-mail the school at admin@cobequiddanceacademy.com in order to have their child excused. ONLY absences for medical reasons will be excused. All other absences will count toward the 5 allowable absences. Students missing time for medical reasons are permitted to attend another class at the same grade level as a make-up. This applies to medical absences only. Please consult with your teacher before attending a make-up.

CDA Inc. classes are NOT cancelled on CCRCE in-service days.

Studio Etiquette

Parents, students and visitors are asked to remove outdoor footwear before entering CDA. Please place shoes on the provided racks and mats to reduce tripping hazards. Students should arrive for class at least 15 minutes early to allow time to be dressed and ready to start class on time. For the safety of our students and the consideration of other establishments in the building, it is imperative that parents and guardians have full control of children in their care at all times. Noise levels outside the studios, in hallways, common areas and entrances must be kept to a minimum to respect the learning environment of others. Your attention to this is appreciated. Students arriving late are asked to enter the studio quickly and quietly with as little disruption to the class as possible.
