REMINDERS

Ø  Regular attendance is extremely important in all classes in the upcoming months as teachers are working with students to prepare for our 38th annual recital.  Students who are going to be late or absent should always inform the office.  

Ø  In these winter months, all parents should come inside to pick up students and not have them walk out to the parking lot alone.

Ø  All tuition is due and payable PRIOR to the first of each month.  Tuition is always increased by $20.00 ON THE TENTH day of the month. Any classes that students drop require two weeks written notice.  If you receive a statement you believe to be in error, please do not ignore it.  Contact the office and review your account. AVOID LATE FEES – ENROLL IN AUTO PAY!

Ø  All students should have proper shoes for all classes, and be dressed properly.  

Ø  Please notify the office if you have had any change in phone numbers or address since registration. Thanks.

SATURDAY STUDENTS

Miss Emily’s classes will be taught by Miss Kerry and Miss Wendy for the remainder of the year.  Miss Emily looks forward to seeing her students again in the recital!
