Please alert NCT staff if you plan to take advantage of these options. You can also add

If your child is in before or after-care, please come to the glass lobby doors for drop-off/pick-up. They are locked before 8 am and after 4 pm. If you
need to reach the before-care or after-care teachers, please call 254-9103 x227.
Shows
One the last day of class, participants will showcase some of their work for family and friends. These shows take place during normal class time for weekly classes, and beginning at 3 pm on Friday for week-long camps. Shows will occur in age order, beginning with our youngest students.
Sign-In
PARENTS NEED TO SIGN CHILDREN IN EACH DAY OF CLASS. On the first day of class, please visit the registration table in the lobby. At that time,
please confirm any medical concerns/needs for your child and who may pick your child up. Please be sure to greet an NCT staff member each time you drop off so that we
are aware of your child's arrival.
Sign-Out
Camps: Dashboard Cards are color-coded for your child's class and will be issued the first day of camp at registration. Please place this card on your
dashboard when you pick up your child. We will be using the two pick-up lanes at the parking lot entrance. Please use the lane marked for your child's
class. We will escort your child to your car. Your child's teacher will have a clipboard with a sign-out sheet that he/she will bring to your car.
Please utilize this system to assist us with both efficiency and safety of all children. Weekly Classes: Sign out will take place at your hcild's classroom door. Please have your photo ID ready to show the teacher.
What to Bring
Students will need to pack a snack and lunch each day of camp. We will break mid-morning for snack. Please pack a sack lunch that does not require
refrigeration or microwaving and a drink. Please also include utensils your child may need. Scripts will be distributed to camps that require them.
Students will be expected to return each day with them.
What to Wear
Students should dress comfortably, but please, NO FLIP-FLOPS OR CROCS. Please be aware that our students move a lot, and sit on the floor for some parts of the class.
Parent Free Zones
For the safety and security of your child, we do not allow adults to watch the camps. This simple rule helps us ensure that no one is here who should
not be. In addition, the teacher can better control the class dynamic and atmosphere. If for some reason you need to check on your child or pick
him/her up early, please call 615-254-9103 x227.
Teachers
All instructors are professional teaching artists, many of whom are actors seen at NCT. All teachers are trained in CPR and First Aid. See here for teacher bios.

Please observe those recommendations to ensure your child’s success as well as that of the entire class. NCT staff pays special attention to make sure that children are in the appropriate level.
