QUARTER 2 TUITION CHARGES
Charges have been applied to your account for quarter 2. We will not pull any payments from credit cards used online for quarter 1. You will have to go in and submit the payment or can drop a check off at the studio. Any payments not made in full by November 17th or without a payment arrangement will result in a $10 late fee. You will have one week to make this payment and then your child will be asked to sit out of class until paid in full. Please contact me (Ashley) with any questions.
NEW!! PIZZA DAY
At the end of each quarter we will have pizza delivered to the office. Your choice of pepperoni, sausage or cheese. When placing your order with me I will ask what day and class time. Students can get pizza before or after class. Order and Payment deadline is Nov. 2nd!!
When: November 7-10th
What: Pizza, Bottle Water or Juice Box, and a Sweet Treat
Cost: $7 per student; $2 per extra slice
BOOGIE BABIES WATCH WEEK IS TUESDAY NOV. 1St
Parents and grandparents are invited into the studio to be an audience for the Boogie Babies classes. We will ask that you please remove your shoes before entering the studio.
FOOD DRIVE
We are doing another food drive this year for the Mount Horeb Food Pantry. We want to deliver on Monday November 14th so families can have items for Thanksgiving. Last year we donated 10 paper bags/124 pounds of nonperishable food items. This year we want to donate more. To achieve this goal we need your help! We will have boxes in the hall to drop your goods off starting now until we deliver. Thanks for your help!!!
PARENT INFORMATION MEETING
There will be another Parent Information meeting on Thursday Nov. 3rd at 8:00pm in case you missed the first one and would like to attend. It is not mandatory, but we highly recommend this for any new families. We will discuss our studio policies, volunteer policies, the end of the year programs and any other questions that may arise. We want this year to be a great experience for everyone and believe that this meeting will help cut down on confusion in preparing for our end of year performances as well as other issues that may come up throughout the season.
FORTE CLOTHING
We are planning to do only one clothing order this year. Information will be available very soon and orders will arrive in plenty of time for Christmas! You will be able to order winter and summer gear since we are not doing a spring order.
COSTUMES FOR OUR END OF YEAR SHOW FOR SINGERS & DANCERS (Does not include Boogie Babies, Private & Semi-Private Voice Students or Actors)
Our end of year show for Singers and Dancers is a big production held at Mt. Horeb High School in May. Students are not required to participate, but participation is strongly encouraged. This is a great reward for 9 months of training! Please plan ahead! We will start measuring for costumes in late November. If your child will not be in the end of the year show please contact us so you do not get charged. Costume fees will show up on your Quarter 2 statement, but are not due until December 15th @ 8PM. Each class will need a costume. Prices range from $50-$55. (ex. If your child takes 1 dance class & 1 group voice class, he/she will need 2 costumes. Combo classes will only need 1 costume.) Costumes are ordered over Holiday Break. Only paid for costumes will be ordered. Thank you for understanding.
REMIND
Remind is a text message alert system that we use to alert parents and students of class cancellation for any reason. If we need to cancel classes due to bad weather we will make that decision by 2PM. Please remember that we don’t close just because school was canceled. If you would like to sign up for the text message alerts please text “@fortes” to 81010.
