• We encourage attendance on a regular basis. We are flexible with absences for family events, other sports team events etc... However, dancers are required to attend the last 4 classes before recital so all dancers feel prepared for the stage in May. 
• Students are required to be on time to class and wearing proper attire. Students will be asked to sit out of class if attire is inappropriate for dance.
• Absolutely no chewing  gum or eating is permitted in class. Only water bottles are allowed in the room. 
• It is a general rule that classes are for students only unless needing assistance in class. Parents will be able to view classes during parent viewing dates given to parents at the beginning of the year or during quieter times through viewing windows when invited by instructor. 
• We will follow all school holidays and breaks set out by the Battle River School Calendar. If schools are closed for bad weather conditions Affirmation Dance will also be closed.
• If your child is sick we encourage you to keep them home and to send us an email notifying us of their absence so we can plan class accordingly. 
• Please keep all dance bags and snacks in the allocated cubbies and shoes are to be placed at the front entrance.
• Dancers are to wait in the lobby until Miss Shannon comes to retrieve them so we have a smooth transition between classes. 
• Families please wait in lobby during class and keep voices at a considerate level
• If any child may need assistance using the washroom facilities please stay for the duration if their class. Anyone with children 5 and under are strongly encouraged to stay for their class time as Miss Shannon won't always have a student helper and will be unable to escort tiny dancers to the washroom as she must supervise her classroom.
• There is a 0 tolerance for bullying of any kind at AD. 
• If any classes are missed due to instructor illness it will be made up before the end of the season. If classes are cancelled due to weather AD will do their best to reschedule classes before the end of the year but cannot guarantee all classes will be made up.
• If classes are shut down due to reasons outside of AD's control (such as a government mandate) there will be no refunds.
