Ashburn Academy of Ballet Attendance Policy

Arrival and Departure Times

Students should arrive no earlier than 15 minutes prior to their scheduled class time. Parents are expected to pick up their child promptly at the end of the scheduled class time. The school will not be responsible for students once their class is dismissed.

Absences and Make-ups

Students are expected to attend classes on a regular basis. Any student arriving after the first ten minutes of class will not be permitted to participate in that class. This is not a disciplinary measure, but is done for the physical safety of the student and she/he will be asked to observe that class.

Please notify the school whenever an absence is necessary. Make-up classes can be scheduled when absences occur. Make-up classes must be taken at the student’s level or below.

Due to the high standards of the Pre-Professional Program, regular attendance is mandatory. Only those absences due to illness, injury, or a death in the family will be excused. All excused and unexcused absences must be made-up. Any student with more than four unexcused absences within four months will not be allowed to continue to participate in the program.

Class Observations and Performances

Parent observation days will be scheduled twice a year during the months of December and April. Parents may not observe classes other than on the scheduled days.

Performances will be held at the end of the school year. Performance date and location will be announced at a later date.

Inclement Weather

In case of inclement weather, please call the studio for cancellations. The studio does not always close in accordance with Loudoun County schools. The school does not pro-rate tuition for weather cancellations, but make-up classes may be scheduled.
