pandemic policies
Thanks for being part of Wildfish this semester! At Wildfish Theatre Company, we are not just creating excellent musical theatre performers, we are cultivating an experience for our students that will help them grow as leaders and learn important life lessons. During this unprecedented time we are taking measures to ensure that our students can continue to enjoy musical theatre in a safe environment given what is going on throughout the world.
Some of these new procedures will alter things like:
· Drop off and pick up
· Face Masks/Coverings
· Restroom Breaks
· Snack Breaks
· Performances
· Class Format Changes
DROP OFF AND PICK UP
Wildfish faculty and interns will be outside the building to facilitate check in prior to Ladybug and Dramatics classes. Students in the Players classes may come downstairs on their own. Students will be signed in and have their temperature taken. If a student has a fever, they will not be allowed to participate that day.
No parents will be allowed to accompany their student into the building and will need to say their goodbyes outside.
At the end of class, Ladybug and Dramatics parents will again meet their students in front of the building to sign them out and will not be allowed in the theatre. Players students will meet their parents outside and will be accompanied by a staff member but do not need to be signed out.
FACE MASKS/COVERINGS
Students will be required to wear masks/face coverings while in the theater. Wildfish faculty and student interns will be wearing masks throughout the class as well. Disposable masks will be provided to any student that does not bring one.
RESTROOMS
During class, students will be allowed necessary bathroom breaks and will be required to enter the restroom one at a time and wash their hands upon exiting. Students and staff will also be encouraged to wash their hands after coughing, sneezing, or blowing their nose. There will also be hand sanitizer available if hand washing is not an immediate option.
SNACK BREAKS
There will be no outside food allowed in the building during class. Please be sure your child eats a meal or snack before class and that they refrain from bringing food into the building. No snack breaks will be taken. It is advised that students bring a personal water bottle already filled. There is a water dispenser for refills if necessary. Students should not share water bottles with anyone during class.
PERFORMANCES
Our current plan is to record performances without an audience and that recording will be shared with the students. We will make a final determination based on how things look in June and if possible, we may allow 1 to 2 family representatives per student. We will communicate any changes to everyone via email.
CLASS FORMAT CHANGES
In the event that guidance from local government requires us to adjust our class format we will adhere to whatever guidelines are given. Because tuition will have already been allocated to paying our Wildfish faculty to continue instruction, regardless of the medium, we will be unable to accommodate refunds based on that change.
REFUNDS
Wildfish will refund tuition paid for an upcoming class as long as the notice of cancellation is given at least a full two weeks before the start of the first class.
