Understanding Shifts – Generally Speaking

Day Shift: Starts at 8:45am (or earlier depending on your daily assignment like Setup, Private or Program Lessons – check the Dayforce app). There are 2 lesson times: AM lesson and PM lesson, and they are generally 2.25 lesson hours.

•  4.5 hours towards your teaching hour commitment
• Typically 1.25 hours of non-teach hours (morning meeting, line-ups, greeting in meeting areas, etc.)
• You may be assigned to help with morning setup on this shift which starts at 7:30am and lasts 30 to 60 minutes depending on the current needs of setup (i.e. lesson meeting areas, fencing, Ballroom and Buttercup Fun Zones, shovel brigade, etc.)

Night Shift: Starts at 5:00pm (or earlier – check the Dayforce app for your assignment). There is 1 Night Lesson time. There are some program lessons that start at 6:30pm and go for 2 hours. Start times can vary based on programs running each night.

•  3.5-4 hours towards your hourly commitment if working 2 evening “daily lessons”
• 30 to 60 minutes or more of non-teach hours (greeting, line-up, tear down, shovel brigade, etc.)
• You may be assigned to help with evening tear down on this shift that can go as late as 10:00pm.

Additional duties: “Everybody shovels” – You may be asked to do other duties including helping in the rental shop, greeting, clearing snow, and others. These are all vital to smooth operations.

You are responsible for checking your Dayforce schedule to understand when and where you’re expected to work. Missing a shift because you “didn’t know” is detrimental to our operation.
