For your convenience and peace of mind, a table is being set up where you can register your "Youth Student" for classes and pay any fees associated with their chosen courses of study. We will be asking you to leave a schedule of your classes in case it is necessary for us to find you. We hope this will assist in making certain no one is misplaced! We also ask you to drop off and pick up your student within 15 minutes of their first and last class, as we feel responsible for them when they are left in our care and do not want to leave them wandering the halls.
