Map included at bottom of FAQ page

Which days of the week do you run?

Monday through Thursday. During the final week, Middle School students will also attend on Friday.

Will there be any days we don't meet?

We typically take a 2-day holiday around the 4th of July. For 2021, those dates are Monday, July 5th and Tuesday, July 6th.

What time do you start and end?

Elementary students begin at 10:00AM and end at 12:00PM. Middle School students begin at 1:00PM and end at 4:00PM. Please be respectful of these times, as staff has responsibilities to attend to before and after each session.

Does my child need to be present for the final performance?

No. However, please let your child's teacher know as early as possible and check the box on your registration form.

What if our family is going on vacation and needs to miss some days?

That's fine! Please let your child's teacher know as early as possible.

Do I have to inform my child's teacher if they're sick and will be absent?

Nope! If your child is sick and needs to stay home and rest for a day or two, that is no problem. We will be happy to see them fully recovered when they are feeling better!

Can my child bring a friend/cousin/sibling in with them for a day?

Unfortunately, no. We are required to keep emergency paperwork on file for all students. If your child's friend decides they want to participate, encourage them to register.

The program has already started, but my child decided he/she wants to join. Is it too late?

We often take late registrations in Week 2! The more, the merrier.

How do I get tickets for the performances?

No ticket required! Admission is free. Please bring your child's whole family to participate in the fun!

Summer 2021

Hello everyone! We have some great news to share with you.

We have been cleared to hold Summer Enrichment in-person this summer 👏🏼

Please bear in mind that we will be required to follow all Phase 4 and 5 facility and district health/safety guidelines. We will keep you apprised of any changes to these protocols if/when we receive more details.

We are also at the mercy of the state/district with any changes in safety protocols. If in-person camps are disbanded due to Covid surges, we will be sure to update you in a timely fashion and address any contingency options.

Registration and Volunteer forms will be distributed digitally again this year due to its popularity and convenience for all parties. I am hoping to have all forms updated and disseminated via Facebook, email, and our website by Monday, April 12th.

Please remember that if your student is going into 10th grade in Fall 2021 and participated in the program in 2019 or 2020, they are eligible to enroll for an extra year. This offer is only applicable to previous participants.

We are also looking at hiring for this summer. If your student is going into 11th+ Grade in Fall 2021 and is interested in applying, please ask them to contact me via email for further instruction.

Thank you very much!

Final Week 2020!

Hello everyone!

I can’t believe it’s the 6th week already. The Program always flies by, but it has seemed even faster being online. I wanted to take the time to thank you all for your patience and flexibility this summer. It has been so fantastic to have this level of participation, and we appreciate you! We hope your students enjoy their unique “collector’s item" t-shirts this summer with the “Online” logo :-) 

Our last day doing meetings is Thursday the 30th! The video will follow next week, and Tricky Tray will run for a week after the program ends. 

TRICKY TRAY

The Tricky Tray fundraiser page is live! You can access it via this link or by texting Tricky20 to (406) 302-5086. Please note that the ticket sales portion is not yet live, as the website is currently confirming our payment processing information. 

The fundraiser will last until August 7th!

T-SHIRTS

If you were unable to pick your t-shirts up during the scheduled dates earlier this week, please email Jenny Cort as soon as possible to set up an alternate arrangement!

PERFORMANCE VIDEO

Reminder that footage for all Shorts is due tomorrow, Monday 7/27 at 7PM. Footage for all Specials (sign, dance, music) and Skits is due Friday 7/31 at 5PM. Please be considerate of these dates, as a few of our staff are volunteering their time to edit everything together! You are, of course, more than welcome to turn things in early. But please be advised that in this event, staff may ask for a few touch-ups as we continue rehearsing and finalizing details throughout the week. 

We plan to have our video premiere on Monday 8/3 at 7:00PM. If this changes, I will email with further updates. Please turn your video footage into our Drop-off Drive. Also please note that Ms. Hannah has uploaded an audio file to that drive of the piano part that accompanies your students’ music footage, and Mr. Ethan and Ms. Miranda have included themselves doing the sign language and dances for your practice purposes. 

As of right now, I am planning to put together a DVD of this year’s video! There will be a fee for this, serving to both reimburse my personal expenses for the project and to give some money back to the Program. I will email you with more details after the final video premiere and you can decide at that time if it’s something you might be interested in!

Lastly, I am including an interactive PDF at the bottom of this email of this summer’s Playbill. This will accompany the video to help you follow along as you watch!

SCHEDULE

The schedule will be significantly different this week, as is to be expected with the home stretch of the program. Please follow the Tockify calendar closely! I am including screenshots of this week’s schedule and our detailed practice schedule for skit time as well.
