ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY

Weathervane Playhouse enforces a zero-tolerance policy for some behavior/items. Weapons, controlled substances, substances illegal for minors, theft, and behavior interpreted by the Theater Education Director as violent, disruptive, destructive, harassing, bullying, or aggressive will not be tolerated and may result in removal from the WYART program.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

Since classes have a final performance, and all students are important to the final product, students should attend every day that they are called on the rehearsal/workshop schedule. If you cannot attend, please notify us by email or phone that you will be absent.

CLASS CONFLICT POLICY

Families are asked to fill out a conflict calendar on the audition form for any our Productions. The absolute last day to submit conflict is the first day of classes.  After that point in time, if we do not have your conflict on file, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to honor it.

CLASS CANCELLATION POLICY

Class cancellation because of weather or teacher illness/emergency will be emailed and posted on WYART’s Facebook page, no later than one hour before the scheduled start of class. In the case of weather or other emergency, WYART will do everything in our power to schedule a make up class. Please note, even if schools are canceled, we may still have class that evening if the roads will be safe enough.

STUDENT SIGN-IN POLICY

All students must sign in or out with a parent unless we have written permission for the student to sign themselves in and out. Students over the age of 18 may sign themselves in and out.

EARLY DROP OFF – LATE PICK UP

• PICKING UP EARLY: If you need to pick up your student before the end of the class, advance notice by email is required. Please park in the lot and come in to the theater or classroom.
• PICKING UP LATE: Please pick your child up on time. Parents arriving more than 15 after the end of class, will be charged $10 per 15 minutes late. Example, class lasts from 4-5 p.m. If your child is picked up between 5:15 and 5:30 = $10, 5:30-5:45 = $20 and so on.
• DROPPING OFF EARLY: Please do not drop off your child more than 15 minutes before the start of class. Staff is not available to supervise them.

OPEN/CLOSED DOOR POLICY

All workshops are closed to the public. Unless there is a special circumstance, we ask that parents refrain from observing class as it can be distracting and cause other students to be self conscious. Please wait for your student in the hallway, green room or outside. You are also welcome to take advantage of the time your child is in class and leave to run errands, have quiet time, etc.
