Newsletter September 23, 2024

Don’t forget to turn on your notifications, check the parent portal for schedules and messages from teachers, and ensure all caregivers have the app downloaded. Make sure your dancer has the correct shoes and dancewear for class, and remove jewelry before coming to dance. Rec Plus dancers need specific shoes and earrings, and there are upcoming events to save the dates for. Team members have a mandatory meeting on September 24 and should check the News & Notes feature in the parent portal for updates on their dancer. If your dancer is sick, notify the studio by 9:30 AM, and remember to get outside activities approved before participating. If a mandatory day of dance is missed, catch up by using videos or practicing at the studio. Dancers can attend extra rehearsals and classes for more training opportunities.

Casting and other details for Upcoming community events are available as links in the newsletter as well as in your app.
