Demerit System

The Winner School

Guidelines and Demerit System

We, in the Winner School Dance Program, always want to have high standards and strive for excellence. To accomplish this; positive attitudes, a strong work ethic, discipline, accountability, responsibility, commitment, team unity, and structure are key elements to making it successful.

Dancers will look better when guidelines are followed, and they look and feel like they are part of a team.

Breakdown for Dress, Tardiness, and Missed Class
Inappropriate dress	1 Demerit ( after 1 warning)
Tardiness (10 minutes late)	1 Demerit
Excused Absence	1 Demerit
Unexcused Absence	2 Demerits
Absence from Saturday Rehearsal	3 Demerits
Absence the week of Performance	6 Demerits

*Absences must be excused through Miss Emily via email or text message.

Each time your demerits total 3 you will be required to take a make-up class. You will have one month to attend your make-up class from the time your demerit total reaches 3. Dancers can make-up class by attending a ballet or jazz class , one level up or down. The teacher of the class you attend will sign a make-up slip and return it to your coordinator, which will then erase those demerits. If you neglect to make-up demerits they will be carried over month to month.

If you have 6 or more demerits before a performance or upcoming competition, you will be spaced out of the dance for that performance/competition. No exceptions.

We will always offer the best dance education. In order to do that, a system of life skills must be taught as well. The combination of these two equal excellence!
