OBSERVATION

  • We offer parents and guardians the convenience of observing class through the classroom observation window.  
            - However, we encourage you to stand away from the viewing window since it tends to distract the students in class.  The observation window may be closed at anytime.

  • Generally, observation in Studio F will not be permitted.  Please drop off your students and wait in the general lobby area in Studio K unless directed by the teacher.  

If at any point in time, you feel out of touch with the progress of your child, please schedule a convenient time to talk with your child’s instructor.  
We are very willing to discuss the direction of your child’s progress.

  • Missed classes may be made up within 14 days.  The staff will help you select the appropriate class.
  • Classes may not be made up from February through May due to preparation for the year-end performance.
