Child Safety

The safety and well-being of all choir members are our highest priorities. We are committed to providing a secure environment where every child feels protected and supported. Our safety protocols include:

  • Rehearsals and performances are supervised at all times by at least two adults.

  • Drop-off and pick-up procedures require a parent/guardian or authorized adult signature for every child.

  • We maintain clear policies regarding appropriate boundaries and respectful interactions.

  • Children are never left unattended, and access to rehearsal spaces is restricted to choir members, staff, and authorized individuals.

  • Any concerns or incidents are addressed promptly according to our safety policy, and families are always notified of relevant matters.

If you have additional questions, please contact the choir director at any time. Our goal is to ensure your child has a positive, safe, and enjoyable experience in our choir community.

​

  • Be kind, courteous, and responsible
