As a result, I request all of us to work together on the followings:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">1.\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Tampering with PDS property &amp; equipment without permission is NOT acceptable.\u00a0<\/span>Except for the adult Zumba, basketball and folk dance students,\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">NO ONE should go to the lower level of the building.<\/span>\u00a0Please stay only in areas covered by our rental agreement (i.e. where classes are).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">2.\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">No exterior doors should be propped open.\u00a0The door leading out to the playground was found propped open NUMEROUS times last Sunday.<\/span> People can go out through that door but they need to walk around to the front entrance to get back in. Having the door propped violates the security protocol of PDS. We need the building secure for people inside.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">3.\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">No bouncing or throwing balls in the hallways.\u00a0Bouncing or throwing balls in the hallway can cause damage to the building.<\/span> Balls are ONLY permitted for playing outdoors or inside the gym.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">I urge everyone to take the above matters seriously and talk to your child(ren) about these issues.<\/span>\u00a0PDS has security cameras installed throughout its facility. Any misbehavior can be caught on camera and hence jeopardize our relationship with PDS, which may lead to termination of our lease.\u00a0Think twice before taking action as any violation may result in severe consequences, i.e. suspension and\/or expulsion, in the future.
