STUDIO REMINDERS

The studio follows the Beaverton School District bad weather closures.  If school is canceled or let out early, all classes would be canceled.   If school starts late, but goes the rest of the day
 without the weather worsening, the studio would be open that night.  We will communicate any
weather closures via email; you can also call the studio answering machine.
Cheers,
Sara and Staff
