Registration
Please Read the Instructions Carefully.
We are going to try something new for Registration this year in an attempt to make it easier for patrons and staff.
- Please fill out a separate form for each child you are registering
- Registrants will be assigned a class based on the order their registration was received. (First come first served) If a family is registering multiple children the time stamp of their first entry will apply to all of their children.
- If there is no room for your child you will be notified and you can be added to a waitlist. You will also have an opportunity to sign up for a later session.
- Please note that we will do what we can to accommodate every registrant but there is a high demand for June lessons and a limited number of time slots. Levels that have less than three registrants may not be offered to accommodate as many children as possible.
- If there are some spots left to fill registration will be reopened.
Payment is due by the second day of lessons.
