DROP-OFF & PICK-UP
For everyone’s safety, please remember:
Children may NOT run across the street to meet their parents after the event.
Please park your vehicle and come inside to pick up your child.
Please do not park in the designated pick-up zone.
Instead, please find appropriate parking nearby, and then come inside when it is time to pick up your child.
PARENTS & OBSERVING THE EVENT
We are excited for you to see what your children are learning!
You are welcome to arrive during the last five minutes of the event to observe their dancing and see the conclusion of the evening.
For our first event, we ask that parents do not remain during the event itself. However, you are absolutely welcome to:
- Arrive early (5:30 Doors Open)
- Meet me and say hello
- Take photos of your child
- Ask any last-minute questions
Once the event begins, we kindly ask that parents please leave promptly so we can begin our program on time and keep the evening flowing smoothly for all of the students.
Thank you so much for helping us create a fun, structured, and memorable experience for the kids!
I will be contacting those that have volunteered for future events to give you all the details!
Refreshments & ALLERGIES
Please make sure your child is aware of any food allergies or dietary restrictions they may have.
I will be offering some gluten-free snack options; however, students will need to be responsible for knowing which foods are safe for them to eat.
Please remind your child to always check before eating anything if they have an allergy or food sensitivity.
WE CAN’T WAIT TO GET STARTED!
We are beyond excited to begin another wonderful season of Boise Cotillion — Building Skills for Life Through Dance, Etiquette & Friendship!
Our Inaugural Ball will be a wonderful opportunity for the students to meet new friends, learn social skills, enjoy dancing, and begin making memories together.
