Week of February 23- classes as usual

Week of March 2- classes as usual

Week of March 9- classwork assessments during usual class hours. If your child attends class 2 times a week, these will take place on their second day of class. Please have your child dressed in clean dance gear, with hair neat and tidy. Parents will be asked to wait in the atrium or outside at this time. These assessments will help us determine if the students have assimilated the material we have been presenting, and help us make plans for the future. This is NOT a pass/fail experience!!!

Week of March 16- Parent Observation Days. Again, if your child attends class 2 times a week, these will take place on their second day of class. Please have your child dressed in clean dance gear, with hair neat and tidy. Chairs will be set up, and family and friends are invited to watch. This is a chance for the students to show off what they have been working hard to achieve!

Week of March 23- classes as usual, however, some students will be participating in the Royal Academy of Dance exams at Poise Ballet studio in Corte Madeira, Monday and Tuesday. Arrangements will be made to have a substitute teacher where needed.

Week of March 30- spring vacation

Week of April 6- classes resume for the spring session that culminates in out recital, which will take place the week end of June 5,6,7. more details on that later.

Schedule change: I have just found out that the Presidents’ Week vacation has been scheduled for the week of February 16. Originally, when I called Redway School some time ago, I was told it was the following week. My friend assured me that a change had been made, and that I hadn’t imagined the original dates. SO…..it looks like we have a ballet vacation that week as well, and classes will resume the week of the 23rd.

Meanwhile, the recital dates are also changed to accommodate an early Memorial Day week end and the early Summer Arts Fair dates. We will be dancing at the new theater again, the week-end of June 5,6,7. Please let me know about other end-of-the year activities that will be that same week-end so I can schedule performances around them as best as possible!
