Contact Tracing Policy

Each student/family will be required to complete a contact tracing form at the time of registration that will include your email, phone number, address, & emergency contact information. If a teacher or student contacts SSD stating they are ill with COVID-19, SSD will contact the Onondaga County Department of Health. If a person becomes ill with COVID-19, SSD will contact all the students individually by phone or email. No identifying information of the sick individual will be given out to the public, students, or other faculty members to protect the individual’s privacy.

Personal Safety Practices

Everyone has a personal responsibility to follow these practices.

  • Social distancing 6 ft. apart

 

  • Masks worn at all times - students, parents/guardians, & faculty

​​

  • Once in the studio, only a water bottle will be permitted & must be kept next to you at the barre. When in the center, water bottles may be placed close to the wall on the floor spaced 6 ft. apart.

 

  • We are no longer allowed to maintain Lost & Found. Please be very mindful not to leave any items in the studio or waiting room as they will be discarded immediately after class…including water bottles.

​​

  • One person is permitted in the bathroom at a time.

​​

  • One parent only, may wait in the waiting room for a Creative Movement, Pre-Ballet or Ballet I student – always maintaining social distancing.

​​

  • We ask for Ballet III & above, that parents please not wait in the waiting room…come in and pick up student when class is done or, if the student is old enough, pick up at front door.
