But first, a snow storm!!! Looks like Thursday March 10 is going to get really iffy for classes and depending on the output of the snow, that could affect Saturday classes too. However, Spring Break begins Monday March 14 and goes through Saturday March 19, NO Classes! For today Tuesday March 8 and tomorrow Wednesday, classes are running as usual.
CLASS CANCEL MONDAY MARCH 7, 2022
Due to the treacherous icy conditions all over the region from the rain/sleet/slush storm classes are canceled for Monday March 7, 2022 - stay home and warm!
2022 & Beyond Winter Weather Cancel or Not Cancel Updates Will Also Post Here
To alleviate the problem of trying to communicate about any winter weather or extreme weather cancels, updates will be posted to our primary Facebook Group, the Ballet North Parent Portal, and also blogged/entered here for use by anyone who wants to know but may not be a user of Facebook or Instagram.
This will now be the case going forward - thank you for your patience and understanding!
