Parent Information

Important Updates

Check back here for important announcements.

Communication

In order to encourage communication between students, parents and the dance faculty at the Academy of Dance, the following communication policy has been established.  When students or parents have questions regarding dance class, the dance curriculum, or individual student progress, they are encouraged to follow the procedure set out below to communicate with all members of the dance faculty.  Unfortunately, since the dance faculty normally teach several classes in a row, communication between classes is difficult at best.

• Students and parents are encouraged to complete an INQUIRY FORM and return to Joffrey reception. 
• The Academy of Dance Director will review the Summary of the Question portion of the Inquiry Form and determine if the call back should be made by the identified dance faculty or the offices.  Routine questions will be submitted directly to the dance faculty.  All other questions will be handled at the discretion of the Academy of Dance Director.
• If the Academy of Dance Director determines that the call back should be made by the dance faculty, s/he will date the Inquiry Form and route it to that teacher’s mailbox.
• The Academy of Dance Director and/or the dance faculty will make reasonable efforts to complete the call back within three days of its receipt.
• Once the call back is complete, the Inquiry Form will be routed to the Academy of Dance administration for filing.
