Additional Policies

Attendance

Attendance to class is highly encouraged at all levels. Technique, combinations and class routine is a continual process and will be revisited weekly. For students 4th grade and above, 3 unexcused absences only are allowed per semester. If students miss more than 3 times, it is up to the teacher’s discretion if the student can participate in the recital.

 

Monthly Packets

Each student will receive a packet of information that will go out the last week of the month including newsletters, notes about upcoming events and any open invoices.

 

Spirit Week

The first full week of every month is Main Street Spirit Week. Students are allowed to wear any dance attire as long as it has the Main Street logo on it. If a holiday falls during spirit week, we will resume this event the next month. This gives the students a chance to show their Main Street spirit and also to change up the attire. They work so hard to maintain proper dress, we feel as though they have earned this privilege. Of course, regular class attire is allowed.

 

Calendar

Main Street follows the calendar set by the Tangipahoa Parish School for holidays and school closings. Dates will be posted in the newsletter and on the bulletin board in the observation area.

 

Website

Main Street will post important monthly news on the website. Email questions through our contact form.

 

Parties

Main Street will celebrate some holidays in the studio with a small party at the end of class. Information will be given out with the monthly packets. Sign up sheets will be on the bulletin board for parents interested in sending items for the party. Birthday celebrations are acceptable and will only be done during the last five minutes of class. Cupcakes are preferred so that the students can take them as they leave.

 

Expectations

  • Main Street students are expected to abide by and obey the rules and dress code set by their teacher.

  • Parent/teacher conferences will be set throughout the year to discuss each student's progress.

  • Students will be praised weekly on progress, good behavior and Christian-like actions.

  • Monthly newsletters will be given out to keep you informed of upcoming events and dates. Information will also be posted on this website.

  • Main Street will observe the same holiday schedule as the Tangipahoa Parish School System.

  • Good attendance is necessary in order for each student to maintain class instruction as well as progress. Perfect attendance awards will be given out at the conclusion of the dance year. For 4th grade and up, 3 absences are allowed per semester. After that, it is up to the teacher’s discretion if the dancer is able to participate in the dance recital.
