Youth Behavior Agreement

OFT Education Programs

OFT EDUCATION MISSION:
OFT is your community partner in raising imaginative, loving, joyful and confident children. Our educational programs provide opportunities for personal development for young people, teaching creativity and responsibility, encouraging teamwork and personal integrity, and fostering self-esteem and appreciation for the performing arts.

Our educational and artistic goals are best accomplished if every family understands and agrees that the following behavioral expectations will be followed. Please go over the following expectations with your student prior to the first class session:

• Be on time, and feel ready to participate in the program!
• Follow Directions given by Teachers and Staff.
• Stay with the group, please do not wander off without permission.
• Be Kind and Respectful to the Students, Staff, and Classroom Space.

We believe it is important that children learn to manage their own behavior. Our approach to behavior management will be:

• Ask the student how they are feeling, and ask if they understand that their behavior is inappropriate.
• Make a plan with the student to remedy the inappropriate behavior, and establish follow-up actions if the behavior is displayed again.
• If the behavior continues, student will be removed from the classroom for a short break.
• If the behavior is continually repeated, we will notify the parent or guardian.

DISMISSAL
If at any time the child presents a danger to him/her self or others the child will be dismissed immediately.

Healthy Camper Code of Conduct
We are committed to providing a healthy and safe environment at Olympia Family Theater. By enrolling in our education programs, the camper is agreeing to:

• Only attending camp if they are feeling well and healthy
• Following directional signage and teacher instructions
• Washing hands and/or using hand sanitizer

Health and Safety Policy

General Policy

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. Olympia Family Theater (OFT) makes every effort to ensure our location is safe; however, we also ask that you help in keeping that space safe. OFT cannot stop the spread of COVID-19 and by participating in any of our activities, you voluntarily assume all risks related to potential exposures.

Vaccinations and Masks
OFT does not require vaccinations or mask wearing. However, we strongly encourage all our participants to be fully vaccinated.

Health Policy
To ensure the safety of our staff, volunteers and guests, OFT requires that anyone entering the facility be free of symptoms related to the COVID-19 virus, such as: fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle/body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, or any cold or flu like symptoms. This extends to all members of your family group as well.

If participants are presenting symptoms during activities, they will be given a mask and instructed to wear it for the duration of the activity. If the participant refuses to wear the mask and is a minor, their parents or guardian will be contacted to come pick them up.

If you don’t feel well. Stay home.

If you have recently been diagnosed with COVID-19, we ask that you follow the CDC’s recommendations on isolation and proper masking while in recovery. OFT is happy to provide masks and COVID Rapid Tests as long as we have them in supply.

Additional Measures
OFT has an improved air handler with high filtration levels to help stop the spread indoors. High contact areas are regularly sanitized.

If someone develops symptoms of COVID-19 while at OFT, the person will be separated from the group (with supervision from an OFT office manager) until they are able to leave the facility. If a staff member tests positive for COVID-19, all group members that came into contact with that person will be notified. Additional resources will be shared at that time.

Should you have any questions about these procedures, please email our staff at or call the OFT office 360-570-1638.
