September 2010 Newsletter

We are so excited to have you all back to the studio, we welcome you and have missed you! We hope you had a great summer and we are excited for some new teachers, and the upcoming year. Please understand that MOST of the communication from this point on will be emailed to you. Watch for our monthly Newsletter that will be sent sometime the first week of each new month and will be posted to our website. I have attached a calendar of all the days this year that the studio will be closed. Below are a few more items of information for you to go over for the month of September.

First:
Please look over our policy paper, some information has changed this year, and you need to be aware of it. For instance the multiple child discount has changed. Keep it on file, so you can refer to it during the year, if needed.

Second:
We want to welcome our new office manager to the studio! Heidi Panter will be in the office Mon-Thurs to answer questions, help kids, and collect tuition. If you have any questions, let her know –Thanks Heidi!

Third:
We are looking forward to another great performance of our Nutcracker again this year! All students enrolled in Combo ages 3-7 and Ballet Levels 1-Sr Company classes will participate. This is the highlight of the year for some students and especially for me ;-)! The dates for these performances are on our calendar, so mark them in your personal calendars early so that your children can participate in this great show! Costume fees will be $50 per ballet or combo class and will be due the first week in October. You will receive an email with details about what dance your child’s class has been assigned in the October Newsletter.

Fourth:
PARENT DROP OFF/ PICK UP GUIDELINES
Details in the following post

Thank you all so much for your support, please feel free to call me or email with any questions of concerns that you have about your children. All billing or scheduling questions will be forwarded to Heidi, our new Office Manager.


Note: Most questions can be answered on the website

Parent drop off/pick up and parking guidelines

• Upon entering the Timpanogos School of Dance Driveway, please maintain a single file line in a circle going around the parking area starting on the right side and coming around to the “no parking zone” (on the west side of the studio by the sidewalk into the studio). This no parking zone is for STUDENTS ONLY. Please do not pull in and park or wait for students that way.
• Vehicles should pull up to the most forward spot in the circle line up before stopping. Parents should remain in the vehicle. Please do not block the “no parking zone”. Again this area is reserved for students waiting for their rides and for drop-off.
• Please wait to drop off or pick up students until you are the 1st car in the line. Then pull away and exit the parking lot so that the others behind you may pull forward.
• If you exit your car you must park along the east or south side of the yellow barn. If you are in the drop off/pick up circle please remain in your car at all times. You may also park along the road on the North side of the studio.
• If you need to run into the dance studio for any reason, you should park in the parking areas. Do not leave your car unattended in the circle.
