If you have not paid your tuition by the 15th of the month, we will charge your tuition and late charges to the credit card on file if you have that set up as a payment option. Any student with a delinquent balance at the end of any month will not be permitted to continue classes until such balance is paid in full.

SNOW DAYS

PROGRESS

Any questions regarding your child’s progress are welcome. Please feel free to set up an appointment with one of the instructors. 

CORRESPONDENCE

VISITATION

We will have parent visitation for our dance and gymnastics classes on separate weeks this year. 

Dance visitation will be October 1-7, December 2-7, February 1-7 and April 1-7.

Gymnastics visitation will be October 8-14, December 9-14, February 8-14, and April 8-14.

Children will not be permitted in the classroom if they do not sit and remain quiet.

WAITING ROOM

Please parents, we ask your cooperation in keeping your younger children (not in class) quiet and well attended. Your child is in a learning environment and unnecessary noise detracts from both classroom and office. We also ask that you refrain from sitting on both upstairs landings near the studio and all stairways in the facility. It is dangerous to students going to and from classes. 

FOOD & DRINKS

Water, Gatorade and a limited number of snacks are available at the counter with prices ranging from $1.00 to $1.50.
