October 2011 Newsletter
The year is off to a great start! Your children are settling in to their new classes and the teachers are doing a great job getting a start on music for our Christmas Recital. There are just a few things that we would like to draw to your attention.
Account Balances
Please make sure that you can sign onto Studio Director and check your balance regularly. If you have any problems signing on, call Heidi and let her know and she can help you. And please go on and check to make sure your child is not registered for a class they are not supposed to be registered for and also make sure they are registered in all the classes you do want them in. This is especially important as we order costumes! If there are any changes needed, please call Heidi or email the changes to her at timpschoolofdance@gmail.com . Thank you!
Tuition
October Tuition is due. Make sure you remember our tuition policy that tuition is due by the 15 of each month. If tuition is paid after the 15th, it will be considered late and there will be a late fee of $20 charged to your account. It is really hard to pay all of our great teachers if there is not enough tuition coming in. Also, please remember that Costume Fees are due this month with tuition.
October Holiday Schedule
The studio will be closed on Thursday October 20 and Friday October 21 due to UEA. Halloween dress-up days for all Combo children (age 3-7) will be on Tuesday, October 25 and Wednesday, October 26. Your children may wear their Halloween costumes to dance class but still need their dancing shoes so they can dance. If you are not sure if your child is in a combo class, the class times are listed on the blog at www.timpschoolofdance.blogspot.com. Monday, October 31, we will be having a short schedule of classes. Sr. Co. Ballet B and Jazz A will be from 3:00-3:30. Sr. Co. Ballet A and Jazz B will be from 3:30-4:00. Sr Pointe and Jr Co. Jazz Technique will be from 4:00-4:30. Please be on time so we can get you out Trick-or-Treating at a good time! Have a happy and a safe Halloween!
“What Christmas Means to Me” Costumes
Costumes are being ordered and paid for THIS week. Your costume money is due during the 1st week of October with your tuition. We know you are used to only having a few costumes to pay for at this time, so in order to help you with this, if you have multiple girls or if your costume balance is over $100, you can split the costume fee into two months. If you want to make these arrangements, please email Heidi at timpschoolofdance@gmail.com and she will get this set up on your account. If possible, we may reuse these costumes in our Spring Recital. Please keep them nice just in case! Below is the costs for costumes (per class).
Upcoming Performance Fee
Just a reminder, there will be a $35 performance fee charged to each dancer's family (not each dancer) for our show instead of charging for admission tickets. This means that all your family members, friends, and neighbors can come and see the show for free! There will be no exceptions for this fee. If your daughter is performing, the fee will be owed. The reason is because rental of American Fork High School is very expensive. We also pay hourly for our staff, all janitors and each tech person as well. It is great to have a convenient place that is big enough for us to perform in. Just a note, we are the only outside dance studio that is allowed to continue to perform at the school and are proud that we have such a great reputation that they allow us to use it. This fee will be due the first week of December with your tuition.
Christmas Performance Chaperones
We are looking for anyone who would like to help at the Christmas Performance. There will be a sign up sheet in the studio starting in November. You will have to be back in dressing rooms watching children during the shows and dress rehearsals. We will be using our staff for other jobs, and some of them will be performing, so if you can help in this area, we would really appreciate it!
Christmas Performance Rehearsals and Pictures
Next month in the November newsletter we will let you know more details about our December Rehearsal, and the performance of "What Christmas Means to Me". Remember to mark December 17 on your calendar for rehearsal and performance! More information will be sent out later. Pictures will be on December 16 at Cory Adam’s Photography. Check the blog at timpschoolofdance.blogspot.com for the Picture schedule and Cory Adam’s address. Please bring your children to pictures! Even if you don’t order pictures, we want all of them to be in their class picture that we hang on the wall at the studio!
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call ANYTIME. 801-602-9196. We want to make this a memorable and fun experience for you child, so please let us know if there are any questions! Thank You all for your support!Tami Meacham (Owner) Heidi Panter (Director)
