SIXTH GRADE COTILLION

Fall 2021 Sixth Grade Class Time:
Saturday evenings from 5:00pm to 6:15pm

Fall 2021 Registration is open. Sign-up online today.

​We will be following indoor best practices protocol this fall for our events. 
Students will need to wear a mask and we will be following best practices for spacing, etc. 
We had a successful spring 2021 season while following all of these measures. 
We are prepared to continue to improve the social skills of students as they learn 
to become confident in any social situation they might encounter.

​Our policy is to strive to have a partner for every child. 
Applicants that apply late may be on a waiting list until ratios even out.
​
Early application is recommended as acceptance is first applied, first accepted. 
The director will follow up with an email after your child's application and deposit is submitted. 
You will get an email receipt for the PayPal payments, but note the application does not send a receipt.
Emails will be sent in the order that applications are received. 
Registration must include an application and deposit.
​
Fall 2021 applications opened on March 15, 2021.

Orientation reception for parents to honor parents of cotillion members will be held in late August/early September for the fall season. Attendance is required, as more information about the program and attire will be given at that time. The parent orientation may be held by Zoom meeting for this season, and an invitation will be emailed to parents.
​
Review lessons for a missed event are available at the next event date
​ except the Holly Ball, as there is no makeup for the Holly Ball.
