MANDATORY TECH/DRESS REHEARSALS from 3:30-7:30pm. We know these are long days for our amazing kiddos, but they are CRUCIAL.
HYGIENE--Please have your kids shower EVERYDAY and please wear deodorant. The children share costumes so hygiene is really important!
Please do not pick up your child early. They are expected to stay for the whole rehearsal. IT WAS IN YOUR CONTRACT/Disclosure YOU READ AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS PROCESS. Sickness is really the only thing they should be taken out for. This is a great way to teach your kids about being committed.
IF we finish early or need extra time, we will send out a remind text.
Sickness? We hope this isn’t the case as we get closer to performances! If you have the Flu, please stay home. Fever? Home. Vomiting? Home. If you have a little cold that's not crazy and you're not coughing all over, we'd love to see you masked as much as we can. Otherwise, please stay home. Just a reminder that we follow Davis County school guidelines for all of this.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
OUR BULLY FREE ZONE!
We would love it if you could have a discussion with your children about building each other up and filling each others buckets with kindness at rehearsals. Our hope is that these kids will make lasting friendships throughout this musical process and feel happy and part of a team. We are a team that cheers each other on and it takes EVERY person to make this a success. We want everyone's buckets to be overflowing after rehearsals and for this to be a fun and positive experience for everyone that participates.
Singing in front of people is a hard thing to do even for the professionals! This is especially hard in the very beginning of a show when everyone is first learning their parts. We want all kids to feel confident and that learning in front of their classmates is a safe place for them--that even on our bad days, they will be cheered for by their teammates!
Recently, we have witnessed a few incidents of bullying during rehearsals--bullying can be saying mean things, teasing, whispering and laughing at others that are performing, and/or embarrassing someone in public . Some of the things we have overheard kids saying about other kids while they are performing are:
"____________ only got this part because their mom helps with the play. They aren't even that good."
"____________ is so off-key."
"Ugh. I hate listening to you sing your solo. It is my least favorite part of the play"
"That was so bad (after someone finished a solo)."
These are just a few of the comments that we are aware of because they have happened in front of us. We hope there are not more going on outside of practice either. It breaks our hearts to watch this kids lose their confidence and not want to be a part of the musical anymore because of one unkind person.
It has made us realize that unfortunately, we need to have a process moving forward of how we will deal with these kind of things IF they arise.
This is our process & consequences after an incident:
We will discuss the issue with your child in the moment when it is seen or when we have had word of such incident. IF it is something Major; we will contact parents at this point.
If the behavior happens again after being asked to stop; we will contact parents and let you know what is happening and ask you help us resolve the issue.
IF that still does not change the behavior and it continues; Your child will be asked to not be part of the musical. We do NOT want it to ever get to this point.
We follow the guidelines that the school has set up and have posted that process below for your reference.
SCHOOL POLICY ON BEHAVIOR-For Reference
SCHOOL POLICY ON BEHAVIOR-For Reference
SCHOOL-WIDE POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORT PLAN Snow Horse Elementary has implemented a school-wide positive behavioral support plan that utilized common language to ensure consistency throughout the school. The purpose of the plan is to increase responsibility, respect, and safety at our school. The Snow Horse Behavior Plan is based on four simple expectations:
o Be Respectful
o Be Responsible
o Be Safe
o Be Kind
Students are positively reinforced in variety of ways, by teachers and administration. Cool Colt Tickets are handed out and collected. Each week administration, pulls these tickets and students are called down to the office for a prize. Discipline Procedures when Expectations are not followed: Our goal is to redirect inappropriate behavior. When dealing with a discipline situation, we do our best to address it in such a way that the needs of the individual student are considered. We believe in involving parents in the discipline process and feel that we cannot be effective in teaching your children appropriate school and social behaviors without your support. Most discipline will be handled by the classroom teacher.
Consequences for inappropriate behavior may include:
1. Oops Tickets followed up by a phone call from the teacher and to be signed by the parent and sent back to the teacher.
2. Conferences with the student and/or parent.
3. Loss of privileges such as recess or assigned recess area
4. Phone calls home.
5. Exclusion from school
6. In-school or out-of-school suspension
SAFE SCHOOL VIOLATIONS As per District mandate, we are required to implement the Safe School Policy. The following behaviors will not be tolerated:
1. Fighting
2. Obscene language/gestures
3. Bullying (physical and verbal)
4. Hazing
5. Controlled or illegal substances or paraphernalia
6. Terroristic threat or threat to harm oneself or others
7. Sexual misconduct, lewdness, or sexual harassment
8. Destruction of school property
9. Weapons – pretend or real
10. Continued diisruption of learning or teaching
We instruct students to go and tell an adult when they see or are involved in conflicts with other children. Students who are involved in a fight, whether they started it or not, will receive disciplinary consequences as per Safe School requirements.
