Policies
Arriving and Exiting the Studio:
Twirlers should be on time for class, dressed and ready to go by class time. All team members must stretch before class. We may stretch as a team when class starts, but soloists are encouraged to stretch before their class time.
We are not responsible for lost or stolen items. Please leave your valuables at home!
Dress Code:
All twirlers are expected to wear comfortable clothing such as a tank top (preferred), shorts, leggings, or a tshirt. Jazz shoes or baton marching shoes must be worn. Hair must be in a high ponytail or high bun. No jeans and no long sleeves.
Snow Policy:
Please check your email by 2:45. If class is canceled due to weather, a message will be sent to your email address. Even though school may have been canceled for the day, the studio may be opened if the weather and roads have been cleared. We do not offer refunds due to weather cancellation. If your solo is canceled due to weather, you may contact your coach to schedule a make-up on their availability.

Parent Conduct:
Please be a good role model and keep it positive! Negative or inappropriate language and/or behavior will not be tolerated and may result in dismissal of both parent and/or student from Suburban-ettes Baton Studio.
