Hello GWM Community,

Fall At GWM

8/21/2020

0 Comments

Dear GWM Community,

On behalf of the GWM team, we hope that this email finds you and your family in the best of health. It is an unsettling time with so many unknowns about school, work, and childcare. We are so happy to be able to open for a portion of our students at this time.

In following Governor Cuomo, and the NYC Board of Education, we plan to open this fall under the following guidelines:

Our dancers’ safety is our top priority which is why we are capping each class at 6-8 dancers.
Dancers can only register for one class given the limited spaces.
Registration will be via a phone call from a staff person. The schedule will be sent as soon as it is available. Families will review the schedule and choose one class from the list.
Classes will begin toward the end of September. An update will be sent in the following weeks.
All dancers must have a new physical form with them on the first day of classes. Your child will not be allowed to participate unless we have a physical that is less than one year old.

Many of you will be disappointed and frustrated. Please understand that we wish all children could come back! But given the CDC guidelines, it’s impossible to allow more people upstairs. We hope that all families understand and are patient with us as we work toward opening GWM for full capacity.

For the fall semester ages 7-12 may enroll in one weekly class. This was the most appropriate age with which to begin because girls must remain 6 ft. apart and wear a mask and no parents can be allowed upstairs.

As you know, Groove With Me is always looking for other ways to connect and provide for all of you. There will be virtual programming and other services. Stay tuned for more information.

It’s exciting to return to classes at Groove With Me, but we must insist that everyone take a very serious and cautious approach. We ALL want to stay safe & well! We are thankful that you entrust your precious children to us; we love them as our own!

Please complete the survey below even if your child isn’t returning. It will help us prepare for the future. In completing the survey you could win a $25 gift card!

Estimada comunidad de GWM,

De parte del equipo de GWM, esperamos que este correo electrónico lo encuentre a usted y a su familia en el mejor estado de salud. Es una época inquietante con tantas incógnitas sobre la escuela, el trabajo y el cuidado de los niños. Estamos muy contentos de poder abrir para una parte de nuestros estudiantes en este momento.

Siguiendo al gobernador Cuomo y el Departamento de Educación de Nueva York, planeamos abrir este otoño bajo las siguientes pautas:

La seguridad de nuestros bailarines es nuestra principal prioridad, por lo que limitamos cada clase a 6-8 bailarines.
Los bailarines sólo pueden inscribirse en una clase debido a los espacios limitados.
La inscripción se realizará mediante una llamada telefónica de un miembro del personal. El horario se enviará tan pronto como esté disponible. Las familias revisarán el horario y elegirán una clase de la lista.
Las clases comenzarán a finales de septiembre. Se enviará una actualización en las próximas semanas.
Todos los bailarines deben tener una nueva forma física con ellos el primer día de clases. Su hijo no podrá participar a menos que tengamos un examen físico que tenga menos de un año.

Muchos de ustedes se sentirán decepcionados y frustrados. ¡Por favor comprenda que deseamos que todos los niños regresen! Pero dadas las pautas de los CDC, es imposible permitir que suban más personas. Esperamos que todas las familias nos comprendan y sean pacientes con nosotros mientras trabajamos para abrir GWM a plena capacidad.

Para el semestre de otoño, las edades de 7 a 12 pueden inscribirse en una clase semanal. Esta fue la edad más apropiada para comenzar porque las niñas deben permanecer a una distancia de 6 pies y usar una máscara y no se puede permitir que los padres suban las escaleras.

Como saben, Groove With Me siempre está buscando otras formas de conectarse y proveer para todos ustedes. Habrá programación virtual y otros servicios. Estén atentos para más información.

Es emocionante volver a clases en Groove With Me, pero debemos insistir en que todos adopten un enfoque muy serio y cauteloso. ¡TODOS queremos estar seguros y bien! Estamos agradecidos de que nos confíe a sus preciosos hijos; los amamos como si fueran nuestros!

Complete la encuesta a continuación incluso si su hijo no regresará. Nos ayudará a prepararnos para el futuro. ¡Al completar la encuesta, podría ganar una tarjeta de regalo de $ 25!

Además, este fin de semana Lauren Lovette será la anfitriona de una clase de ballet en nuestra cuenta de Instagram. ¡Consulte el folleto a continuación!
