Communications:
We communicate mainly by email.  Please check your emails twice daily! All emails should be addressed to  barryysproducer@gmail.com.   Please contact us: if you cannot attend a class; if you will be late for a class; or for any other reason.

Cell Phones
Students should always bring their cellphones to class to receive messages from parents.

Arrival for Classes:
Use the entrance to the left of the Theatre Marquee to enter the lobby of the YCCC building. Students will be met on the ground level in front of the theater box office by the teacher and then proceed to the designated studio, either Room 12 (“Studio”) on the ground floor or Room 121 (“Upstairs”) between the first and second floors.

Attendance:
We keep a record of attendance.  Continued absences or lateness could affect your child’s Recital appearance.  Attendance is important for continuity.  Please have your child attend all scheduled classes. Student absences make it almost impossible to create a flawless performance as well as being unfair to other students.

Lateness:
If you are late, you should proceed directly to the Studio where that class is usually held. If the class is not taking place in that studio, there will be a note on the door directing you elsewhere.
