There will be no guest/parent or visitors permitted without prior notice or a pre-arranged meeting time. This is being done to reduce the number of people entering and exiting our facility and help control the spread of the virus. Please contact us directly to meet at an isolated time if needed.
4. Screen Arriving Patrons: Patrons will approach the door wearing a mask. There is a sanitization station located at front and back door and each patron coming into SRDA will be required to use before entering. Patrons will also have their contactless temperature taken and are asked to review the following questions by a guardian before arriving. Do you have any of the following new or worsening symptoms:
If a dancer answers yes to any of the screening questions please do not send your child to dance. Stay home, rest and continue to monitor for Covid-19 and contact 811 or a doctor as needed. We would encourage parents to check temperatures at home and monitor their dancers current health before sending them into our facility and group setting. If a dancer has an above average temperature reading over 37.5 we will have the dancer wait outside and call a parent to discuss the situation, next steps and pick up.
If your dancer has recently taken a Covid-19 test and is awaiting results DO NOT send them to Sara Raymond Dance Academy before receiving those results and the dancer is confirmed negative. If you have received a positive test result please follow the directions of Public Health and do not return to Sara Raymond Dance until cleared to do so. If your dancers has been placed under public health monitoring for being in close contact with an active exposure please advise us and follow all directions of Public Health.

Line up will be outside under the covered walk-way separated with 6 foot indicators. Dancers will enter one by one. A show mat is provided at the front door. Personal items should be as minimal as possible. If personal items need to come in they should be spaced out along the side wall. Water bottles will stay in your own personal space.
DISMISSAL: Once class time is finished dancers will exit one by one as indicated by Sara Raymond. A parent should be waiting for them to go straight to their car.
