After School Policy: After school providers are required to provide TDO with detailed instructions on entering the school in after hours, provide a primary contact with a direct cell phone number and grade level of students. At least 1 staff member must be present for the duration of the program Please be sure that the performance space is clear because the cast and crew will bring a full set, costumes, and a keyboard. The space must be a GYM to accommodate the full set, costumes, and keyboard (25ft x 25ft). You must also provide a private area so that the cast can get into costume. Members of school faculty/staff must be present at all times while we are on your campus presenting our program. Please be sure that faculty and staff members actively ensure that students are not disruptive during the workshop or performance. Any behavioral problems that result in a disruption of the program will be addressed by the TDO Education Staff once. The school faculty/staff members present will be given 5 minutes to get the disruption under control and the program will resume. Should a problem arise a second time, the TDO Education Staff reserves the right to end the program.
