Parent Guidelines for Student Attendance
For the sake of class continuity, we have listed some guidelines for parents of students enrolled in our Youth Martial Arts Program.
Reasons to keep your child home from class:
- Pinkeye
- Ringworm
- Chicken Pox, Measles, etc
- Flu and other airborne illnesses
- Head Lice, Scabbies
- Feverish
- Poison Ivy
Some conditions are serious enough to warrant staying home and missing class. Be sure to call the school and leave a message explaining any absence so the instructor can plan for future lessons. You can reach Anthony Sell at 414.520.SAGE.
Reasons to bring your child to watch, but not participate:
- Bad behavior in school or at home
- Injuries (Broken bones, stitches, etc)
- Muscle strains or joint sprains
- Bronchitis
Students who watch but do not participate can be motivated to return to classes quickly. For this reason, it can be a useful vehicle for correcting behaviour outside of the studio. Some ailments are not serious enough to warrant missing the class, but may limit participation. Students who come to watch when they cannot participate can still experience the lessons of the day and stay up to date on the material covered.
Reasons to participate with special precautions for your child:
- Asthma
- Diabetes
- Hypoglycemia
- ADD/HD and other Behavioral Disorders
- Irregular Heartbeat
- Hepatitis/Blood borne pathogens
- Previous neck or back injuries
- Extruding Xyphoid Process
- Near-Sightedness
Certain conditions require special precautions to avoid injury or complications. It is important to notify the instructor if any of the above conditions are present, so the appropriate steps can be taken to allow the student to participate, as some of these conditions can affect the safety of your child and the other class participants.
