We have cleanliness protocals and emergency preparedness plans in place and are updating them accordingly to guide the Academy's response in the event of the spread of a highly infectious disease such as COVID-19. We are updating our staff on: -our newest nightly cleaning expectations -student and staff physical communication and instruction corrections -phases in preparation to serving our students and families the best we can We are relying on you to make the right choice! If you feel that you are at risk, please stay home. Please remember that we offer online lessons as an alternative. We have tablets in each of our studios and will be using Zoom, Skype, or MarcoPolo in which you can use on a phone, tablet, or laptop.

We truly believe in a situation like this that we would rather take the stand to be proactive and on the forefront when it comes to the health of our students, families, and staff. 1.
