Please discuss the following rules with your children for safety purposes while at SFAC . The instructors created this list for the safety of everyone while at
SFAC.  Both children as well as adults are expected to abide by these rules at ALL times.

  • Your child must wait until your class has been invited to enter the Studio. Enter through the Studio area "IN" door of the lobby.  (When leaving the
    studio area, exit through the "OUT" door.  These will be locked at all times!  Do not enter the Studio area until time for your class to begin.  We cannot
    allow any students in the Studio without permission.  For this reason, we ask that only students come into the class area at the designated time.
    Our insurance carrier will not allow persons who are not registered students into the center area.  Nor do we do not have a facility that can handle
    the quantities of parents and siblings coming in to the Studio for class and still be able to run our classes on time.  Please respect our need for
    organization and safety, and wait in the lobby or see the secretary if you need assistance.

  • We need good listeners in all classes. Please talk to your children (no matter what the age) and explain that waiting your turn and listening for
    instructions is crucial!  We need this for successful class format.

  • Pony tails and tight fitting shirts are a necessity for all students.  Leotards are preferred for tumblers and gymnasts and are required for dancers and
    preschoolers.  Convertible tights are also required for dancers and preschoolers.  Clothing can be worn on top of the leotard and then removed
    when necessary, but big baggy shirts that are flying up and hair blocking vision are a safety hazard.  Body lines need to be seen for proper technique.

  • No running or playing on the equipment, EVER !!!  This is another insurance issue.

  • No tumbling outside the gymnastics room.  Please respect others in the lobby (including the secretary) and not allow children to run and yell in the
    lobby.

  • Cell phones should be turned off.

  • When in class, your children are not allowed to go to any piece of equipment unless told to do so by an instructor.

  • We ask that adults do not come into the Studio area.  Our instructors are preparing for the next class and could have their minds in a hundred
    places, please see our secretary if you have a question for the instructor and she will then insure that you get the information that you need at the
    proper time.  Remember our teachers need a breather in between hundreds of kids coming and going too!  Our insurance policy only allows
    registered students into the center.  Please see the secretary for questions or problems.

  • Your children will be responsible for their items and if forgotten, they may return to get them during the next Class Break or those items will be
    placed in the Lost and Found area the following day.  Lost and Found is donated to Goodwill monthly.

  • No gum or candy (or food) in the Studio or Class area. Safety from choking is foremost concern but keep in mind that we are a warehouse and it is
    very hard to keep out insects and rodents.  We do not want to  spray toxic chemicals with your children in bare feet!  Fire ants biting when your child
    sits on the floor would not be a good scenario either, so please refer t6o\\0 New Facility Rules and Guidelines.



























  • We know that waiting in the lobby takes its toll on younger siblings; therefore, we recommend that you consider dropping off and picking up your
    child if necessary.  If not, please try to keep a close eye on smaller children.  It is very dangerous for them to be unattended, not to mention that there
    are items that could be damaged (or the child possibly get hurt).  Items damaged will be the financial responsibility of the parent/guardian or the
    child responsible.

  • We like to know when a child is dealing with any difficult situation (whether at home, with family, grades or anything else that may affect their
    personality with others or a teacher) so that we may be supportive, encouraging or just be available to give good hugs and love.  In confidence, you
    can e-mail us, send in a note, leave a message on the machine or dropping a note in the tuition box, which is checked daily alerting us to a specific
    situation of this nature.

Mandatory Etiquette
Handicapped Parking Spaces - We have parents with  handicapped children who need access to the handicapped parking spaces to drop off
another child yet the spaces are being taken for drop off and pick up.   Even though we don’t have handicapped clients in class and these spots are the
perfect places for drop off and pick up, we ask that you be considerate and not park in these spaces.  
                                                                                                                                                                                               
  Thank you for your assistance!
  • Tardiness affects others in the class and prevents your child and others from attaining proper physical and mental preparation for class.  We
    understand that traffic and other issues can prevent you from arriving on time every class; however, consistent tardiness will require that you
    consider changing to a class time that more suits your schedule.  As stated above, all children must be checked in with the secretary.  If you arrive
    late, you may have to wait patiently for the lobby staff to check you in and let you enter into class. No student will be let into the center by knocking on
    the glass.  Instructors and students will not be letting in students.  If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, crucial stretching and warming up has
    been missed and your child will not be able to join the class due to the class lesson plan disruption, supervision and injury risk.

  • We need to curb students from leaving the center area and going into lobby area during class time. A water break is very short, and students should
    stay inside the studio area.  We have enough restrooms in the studio area to accommodate water breaks with minimal waiting.  Our instructors can
    not be held responsible for the children if they are exiting into a locked area without permission.   One child should definitely not exit for any reasons
    until class is over and should follow the group format.  Water bottles should be kept in the cubbies with shoes etc and there is no need to exit.  

  • We are trying to stop the in and out during class time yet still be able to keep the viewing area open for parents.  If and when it becomes
    problematic, we will cover the viewing glass and utilize the closed circuit camera system on the TV screen. * If your child is present for more than 2
    hours during their dinner time and have a dinner break between classes, this is fine.  Leave your food in the lobby or with the secretary and have the
    student speak with the instructor regarding exiting to the lobby at the appropriate time.

  • Your child must be attending the class that is on your registration form.  If you would like to change classes, check with the secretary to see if there
    is space available.  You must then initial the changes on your registration form.

  • If your child is attending an alternate class, attendance must be confirmed several days to one week prior  through our secretary.  We no longer can
    accept walk ins for classes.   Contact us via email sportsfineartscenteraccounts@windstream.net or via phone 704-821-1243 in advance.  Our staff
    will then confirm there is appropriate space for the attendance and prepare a pass/ticket to have ready when you arrive.  Your child will then give
    pass/ticket to the instructor. Please do not expect her to make exceptions for your attendance if you have not confirmed it several days or a week in
    advance.  Your child may not be allowed to enter class if it has not been approved in advance. *Please allow 24 hours for response*
