MASK GUIDELINES FOR SCHOOL YEAR 
2021-22
Whatever it takes to keep kids dancing!
 
Heartland Conservatory of Dance teaches a very mixed age group ranging from 3 - 20 years of age. Because of this we will be asking for masks to be worn in our school beginning on our first day of classes which begin Monday, August 23rd. As you all know, Covid conditions can change quickly and to ensure that the studio does not get closed down we are going to take all precautions. As I’m sure most of you are aware, Douglas County Health Department, experts from the University of Nebraska Medical Center and the American Academy of Pediatrics have recommended that students and staff wear masks indoors, regardless of their vaccination status. 
 
OTHER HYB PROTECTIVE SAFEGUARDS
Heartland Conservatory of Dance has installed a special $4000 return air system into our HVAC units. This needlepoint bipolar ionization technology destroys pathogens, minimizes cross-contamination of germs between students and staff, and decreases the spread of sicknesses. Obviously this will help our students stay healthier in our building as the air is returned. Of course this is not a guarantee against Covid-19 but here are are several notable institutions that are now using this system - The White House, UAE Presidential Palace, Google, Boston Children’s Hospital and the Mayo Clinic. 
 
  • Parents are asked to drop off students at the front door. No waiting in the Lobby.
  • Parents bringing young students may come into lobby and/or bathroom if student needs help.
  • Masks will be worn by everyone at all times.
  • Barres will be disinfected between each class.
  • Hand sanitizers will be in lobby and studios.
  • Bathrooms are available but please have children go at home before class if possible.
  • Students should arrive and leave on time as there we hope to have no waiting in the lobby.
  • Students will be permitted to enter the approximately 5 minutes prior to class & go directly to their studio. 
  • If your student or any member of your family demonstrates any symptoms or has tested positive, please stay home and inform the studio so we can recommend possible makeup classes.
