NOVEMBER MESSAGE FROM MISS JANA

PLEASE HELP US KEEP KIDS HEALTHY!

As we enter "cold & flu" season, we ask you to review our sick policy and strictly abide by it. We want to keep our dancers as healthy as possible and need your help to ensure that students who are not feeling 100% STAY HOME! We are happy to help our dancers find a makeup class if they're not able to come due to sickness.

We will open enrollment on November 15th to new students and to existing students who wish to add new classes and/or change classes.  From November 15th - January 15th, parents are able to ADD AND DROP CLASSES THROUGH THE PARENT PORTAL!
