No school means no dance today...:( Our new 2:15 Creative Dance class will begin next week instead of today. Go play in the snow dancers!

Since Mead School District has closed due to snow conditions, we will be closed as well both Fri. and Sat. Our new Contemporary class will begin and end one week later than planned. Stay home where you are safe and warm...:)

Enough already..:)

Our recurring theme? No school again for Mead students tomorrow. However, we have decided that we will go ahead and open the studio tomorrow for classes (however, office hours are limited). We miss our dancers, and think they probably need to get out and help calm the cabin fever! If you feel you can transport your child to the studio with minimal risk, please come to class tomorrow. If not, please stay home where you are safe and warm! Make up classes are available, and those classes can be taken any time within the next month.

We will note the attendance level of classes tomorrow, and that will help us make our decisions for future school closure days.

If you are reading this, thank you for staying current and checking our web site and blog. If you speak with any fellow parents, please encourage them to do the same. It is the only way we can stay connected in crazy weather days such as this!

No school again???

Once again, Mead School District has chosen to close on Tuesday. We will follow their lead and close as well, but are considering opening on Wed. regardless of whether Mead is open or closed. We would love to hear feedback from parents on this thought. We see no reason not to be open, except that parents who do not check the website/phone messages and assume their is not class, may be upset when they find out the following week that we did have class after all. I guess that is the reward for staying current by checking the web site, though isn't it?

Of course, those of you who stay updated by checking out the wes site are informed and know what's going on..and we love you for that! Please stay tuned for our decision on Wed. classes, and let us know what you think - inlandnwballet@aol.com.

Update from Mead...

From Mead School District's web site...
"Snow Update - No School on Monday, January 5th's District5
The Spokane County Sheriff's Department has closed all Spokane County public schools for Monday, January 5th, due to expected hazardous road conditions.County crews will be out trying to remove snow from the winter storm expected tonight and Monday. The District will determine if school will resume on Tuesday based on an update from the Sheriff's department expected late Monday afternoon."

Wow, we can't believe that it has lasted this long, but once again both Mead and Spokane School Districts, (and just about everyone else around!) are closed tomorrow Monday, Jan. 5, due to weather conditions....When will this end?
We are having our roof cleared of snow as we write, and we are ready to dance! However, if it is not safe for you to be out, it is best that you stay home where you are safe and warm! We hope you have had a restful and safe holiday so far...:)

Following are alternate class times for those who will miss class tomorrow...If these times do not work out for you, e-mail School Director Janine Fraser at inlandnwballet@aol.com for other classes you may attend...We hope to see you on Tuesday! The district will update tomorrow afternoon.

3:00 class - May attend on Wed. 5:30

3:45 class - May attend on Fri. at 3:45

4:30 class - May attend Wed. 6:15

5:30 class - May attend Tues., Wed., or Thurs. at 3:45

6:15 class - May attend on Thurs. at 4:30
