Policies
"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you"
-Matthew 7:12a
A student registration form must be completed before the student will be allowed to join the class. A new registration/liability sheet must be filled out each school year.
Cornerstone’s curriculum is designed as a full-year learning program with two consecutive sessions: Fall and Spring.( We do offer separate Summer classes and camps) Therefore, students are encouraged to stay in the same class each session based upon placement. When registering, you register for a semester session.
Payment: Payments are made by session (Fall, Spring, Summer) or split evenly and paid monthly. Each monthly payment is due before the first class that month.
Currently, payment is accepted as cash and check only. Please make checks payable to Cornerstone Ballet LLC. Scholarships are available so please contact us if payment is an issue.
Because classes are based on enrollment, we do not offer refunds.
Trial classes: Students are welcome to participate in trial classes the first week of the session to determine their best fit. There is no limit to the number of classes.
Make Up Classes and School Closings: There is no refund for missed classes but make up classes can and should be taken. A student may take a class of any genre offered to their age/skill level as a make up class. We encourage make ups for inclement weather/emergency closings and will give you recommended classes OR schedule a make up class if it affects more than two classes or there is not an appropriate make up option. Up to two make up classes for illnesses/personal absences can be scheduled, please clear the dates with your instructor. We follow Loudon County Public Schools for inclement weather closings of DAY time classes. This will not always affect afternoon or evening classes. Please check out Facebook page. It is the quickest and most reliable way to post open/closed status.
Bullying: Cornerstone's goal is to provide a positive and enriching learning environment where students feel safe. Therefore we cannot tolerate bullying of any kind. If there is an occurrence, the instructor will contact you. If there is no change in behavior it may result in dismissal.
Other Behavioral Problems: The instructor will contact you in the case of behavior problems. In the situation that these issues make it difficult for other students to learn, dismissal is possible. We are willing to work with parents and do the best we can to prevent this situation without taking away from other students in the class.
It is very important to arrive on time for class. Repetitive tardiness and/or absence may result in probation from performances. Please arrive and be ready 5 minutes before your class starts. Be prompt with pick up at class dismissal. tardiness will result in a fee.
Audience: No parents are permitted inside the classroom except on the allotted Observation and Recital Days and for the beginning of the first class of each session. This allows the students to recognize and adjust to classroom etiquette with limited distraction. Parents may watch/ listen through the door windows.
Food is not permitted in the studio or joining sanctuary.
Parents of small children: Please make sure your child uses the bathroom BEFORE class. Children under 6 must be accompanied by the whole class to the restroom which is a disruption to the class.
Please make sure your child's ballet shoes are tied and tap shoes have elastics.
Please show up promptly for class release. You must be present for a child under 12 to be released.
LABEL all shoes, uniforms, costumes and water bottles.
Thank you!

We encourage make ups for inclement weather/emergency closings and will give you recommended classes OR schedule a make up class. Up to two make up classes for illnesses/personal absences can be scheduled, please clear with your instructor.
