UPDATES FOR FEBRUARY 14, 2025

Our students are working very hard in all of their classes, and would love to show you what they have been working on! So, at Seaside we are starting a new tradition. One week a month, we’ll are inviting all parents in to observe the last 5 minutes of class, in ALL SEASIDE CLASSES! 

The observation will be very informal; all you have to do is show up 5 minutes early for pick-up, and wait for the teacher to welcome you into class. If a parent isn’t able to come watch your child, you are welcome to invite a sibling, grandparent, friend, or other family to observe in your place. (No need to let us know, just share the details with them and your child!)

When you come to observe, you may see your students’ latest work in progress, choreography for their upcoming performance, a game they play for warm ups, etc.

For the rest of the Spring Semester, Observation Weeks will be happening on the following dates, but don’t worry we’ll send out a reminder when they get closer!

  • February 23 – March 1
  • March 23 – 29
  • April 21-27
  • We will skip May Observation Week due to the Spring Showcase

Please reach out with any questions. We look forward to seeing you soon!
