VIEWING POLICY
All classes will be a closed gym setting to encourage a safe and effective learning environment. From experience, we have found it is a better learning environment for our students when Family & Friends are not watching. If you need to speak with an Instructor please do so before or after class. Do not approach or interrupt instructors during training or classes. Guests are welcome to wait in the lobby for their students' class to finish.
Here are the reasons this policy is in place,
• Having a parent/guardian or guest present can be distracting and compromise the safety of the student
• Protecting the privacy and comfort of students is a priority at Discover Circus
• The viewing deck can get noisy which can be distracting and unsafe for the students and instructors
The exception to this policy is for the Parent & Me, Accessible Circus and Circus Family Jam classes where Caregivers are permitted as a student to attend with their child. If children are attending Circus Tots they must be able to attend without their caregiver, otherwise they will need to attend Parent & Me.
Special circumstances may be granted by the Executive Director, or Assistant Executive Director of Discover Circus on a case by case basis. If you want to inquire further please email jodie.edmunds@discovercircus.ca
There will be scheduled Parent Viewing Weeks a few times per year where students will get to invite Family & Friends to come watch part of the class. You will be notified ahead of time when these weeks are happening.
