These may be turned in via email to  info@smsdance.com or can be turned in to the tuition box in the studio. Include your child's name, class time,  email and phone number OR drop a written note with this information in the tuition box at the studio.

New Policy Regarding Drop-Off & Pick-Up Procedure
ParentsWe have been experiencing some issues with drop-off and pick-up procedure at the studio.  Please do not bring your dancer into the studio until the teacher has opened the door for class. Some are reportedly coming up to 20-25 minutes early, dropping off their child and leaving. If you are early, please wait with your child in the lobby until the teacher is ready and invites the class in to the studio. 

Also, please be prompt in picking up your child. If you are more than 10 minutes late without a phone call to us, you will be charged $10 for every 5 minutes late. I hate to do this, b ut there have been occasions when parents are very late and a teacher has to wait and missed their next commitment they are to be at. 

Thank you in advance for your cooperation with this!
