STUDENT DISMISSAL PROCEDURES:

Elementary Levels -
For your child’s safety, it is mandatory that all Elementary students be dismissed through the Cyclorama at the end of each performance. Students will be released by class level and section into the Cyclorama so that parents can identify which group their child(ren) will be in. We ask that once you have picked up your child, you exit the Cyclorama in a timely fashion to make room for the next group of students being released.
Intermediate, Advanced and Trainee Levels –
Students who have permission to leave on their own may do so at the end of each show through 19 Clarendon Street, but MUST SIGN OUT with a Studio Administrator. To be eligible, students under 18 must return the Student Dismissal form with a parents’ signature approving an unescorted release. There is no early dismissal due to end-of-show bows with the exception of the Newton Intensive students participating in Sunday’s Matinee which has no bow.
