Weekly Newsletter: February 27 - March 5

Parent Observation

THIS WEEK, February 27 - March 5, we invite parents/guardians into the studio classroom to observe their student in class. This is a wonderful opportunity to step inside the studios to witness all of their hard work and progress so far this season! We kindly ask that you limit the number of observers to 2 people per student to allow for comfortable seating for all who attend. 

*Note* - Children's Division classes in Studio D have been emailed separately with an observation plan. Please refer to your email and sign up for one of two observation dates available for your student's class.
