Kathryn's morning classes WILL meet
No Young Child Classes (Wendy's 3:45 and 5:00 pm classes)
No Our Time Classes (Kay's 6:30 pm class)

Friday January 27 - No classes for the following:
Our Time 9:30 or 11:15 am
Imagine That 10:15 am

They will see you the following week!  This will extend the semester by one week into May for Thursday and Friday.

Kindermusik classes begin January 9 - what you need to know!

Kindermusik classes begin on January 9

Details you should know to make your Kindermusik experience go smoothly:

• Directions
• The college students also return to campus on January 9.  This means more cars in the parking lot, more students driving to class.  BE CAREFUL in the parking lot and crossing the street.  
• The new welcome center is now open and the gate is operational.  If you don't have an electronic pass on your car, go through the visitor entrance and they will scan your ID at the gate. You can get an electronic pass ($15) and make your entrance quicker, or just allow more time to get to class.  If you want the pass, there is a yellow form to fill out and you can get one from your Kindermusik teacher and then take it to the campus safety house across from the main entrance.
• Allow plenty of time to find a parking place and get to class. Once you arrive on campus, it will take you at least 5 minutes to get from the parking lot to the classroom.
• The elevator is a great asset.  Please help us keep the alarm from ringing or the help button from being pushed. Buttons are inviting to children, and they are low...but keep them from calling security! Let them push the "floor" buttons, but stay away from the red and yellow ones!
• Please use quiet voices and walking feet as you enter the building. First floor where you access the elevator is full of offices. Once on third floor there are college classes in session. If you have to take your child in the hall during class because he or she is crying, go to the north end of the hallway or the restroom to avoid disrupting classes.
• In case of severe weather, Kindermusik follows the Floyd County Schools. If the Floyd county schools are closed due to inclement weather, then Kindermusik will not meet. If the county cancels classes after 2 p.m., you will need to call the Kindermusik office concerning afternoon and evening classes, OR check for an update on Facebook.
• Kindermusik of Berry College will not meet the week of March 27 - 3, this is spring break for local schools.   No classes on Martin Luther King Day.  Monday classes will continue through May 1.  Other classes will end the week of April 24.
• LIKE US ON FACEBOOK.  
• Tell your friends about Kindermusik! We love it when you spread the word about your experience!

If you have questions or concerns about anything in class, talk with your child's teacher.
You can always email me at knobles@berry.edu for a quick response to general questions, or leave a message at 706-233-4091.
