Standing Ovation Academy takes the safety of our Students and Parents seriously. It may very well be deemed at some point that the measures taken were extreme, but for now due to the uncertainty and concerns surrounding expectorants when singing and speaking loudly, the following safety measures will be strictly adhered to in order to participate in In-Person Instruction and Performances.
- All students and parents entering the theater will be subject to a no touch temperature check before entry. Anyone with a temperature of 100.4°F will not be granted entry and will be sent home.
- All students and instructors have the option to wear a secured face mask covering both mouth and nose or chin based face shield while inside the theater and indoor areas when unable to adhere to social distance standards.
- Students will respect and adhere to all social distancing standards when possible.
- Students agree to not share food, drinks, or supplies including, but not limited to, pencils, highlighters, and scripts.
- Parents must have the same required protection measures and agree to adhere to social distancing practices to be allowed entrance into the theater.
- If a student feels sick for any reason, the student should not attend class.
- If a student or family has been exposed to an infected individual, students should not attend class for 14 days from exposure.
- If a student or family member has tested positive, a student will not be allowed to return until there’s proof of a negative test result.
- Should a student test positive for COVID19, an email will be sent to all parents advising of the exposure but will not release the student’s name for privacy purposes.
Parents are responsible for educating their students of the expectations and ensuring that each student arrives prepared and properly donned with safety gear. Reminders will be issued to use hand sanitizer and to not touch masks/shields.
Upon registration, Parents/Guardians will indicate acknowledgement and understanding of the above stated policies, as well, will agree to Hold Harmless Standing Ovation Academy should their student become infected with COVID19 or any related illnesses stemming from such. As these are unprecedented times and the safety of the children participating is of the utmost importance, the mitigation methods listed above are best practices but can not with all certainty prevent the spread of COVID19. .
