Studio Updates

November 2022

The year 2022 is starting to come to an end. We all know how fast November and December go. We hope that everyone has a safe and healthy holiday season. Listed below are some dates and news to keep everyone updated. Please take the time to read and mark dates on your calendar.

FUNDRAISING

All forms are in and we will be updating accounts this week. We expect your candle order in the studio this upcoming week. Once orders have been checked we will send out an email to let you know when the candles can be picked up from the studio. A pickup signature is required, please do not take boxes without signing out with our office staff. We are awaiting the date for the ookie/Popcorn orders to be delivered to the studio.

COSTUME INFO

• Costumes fees: Have been applied on account and are due by December 17th to ensure costume(s) are ordered over the winter break. Please check your account to ensure that your dancer has a costume for each class. Please note that Leaps N Turns, Ballet Pre-Pointe and Ballet Point are not part of the June recital and will not have a costume listed.
• We have added your fundraising credits to your account this week which will be applied to costumes first. You will be able to review those credits next week by going into your parent portal.
• Costume fittings: The week of Nov. 14th-19th we will be getting measurements of all dance students for their costumes. Please ensure that your dancer is in class this week.

WINTER WEATHER

We are now starting to get a taste of that crisp Buffalo winter air please make sure all students dress appropriately for the weather and that they take home all their clothing and shoes during this time. Their body temperatures are up after dancing, and I see way too many dancers leave with no jackets on or they leave with jackets unzipped. We are trying to keep everyone healthy. Let's work together on this one to keep our dancers healthy. A little roll of the eye is better than their school calling and saying they will have to be quarantined for 10 days because they have a runny noses...LOL

Any questions please email us at Kiptomdancecenter@gmail.com and we will help you out and be sure to include the student's full name. As always, remember not to text or IM our staff.

IF YOUR CHILD IS SICK

Please remember that if your child is sick to have them stay at home. We have Zoom classes available in your Parent Portal for them to watch and participate in classes, and ask that you provide ample time for us to set up on our end. Also, all requests need to be made via email, we ask that you do not text, Facebook, or IM myself or any staff on their personal account and phones.

Any questions please email us at Kiptomdancecenter@gmail.com and we will help you out and be sure to include the student's full name. As always, remember not to text or IM our staff.
