———————————————————————————

*If you register your child for the wrong class, they will be moved to the correct class if space is available! Classes are determined by grade in school. No exceptions!

**Children should have the ability to follow directions and stay on task in a variety of classroom environments- from quiet listening to group choral singing to active movement. If a child is unable to manage his/her behavior, the parent will be invited to attend class with their child.
