PARENTS' NOTE: Students' success hinges on parents' encouragement and interest in their child's learning and personal growth. A commitment to consistent weekly attendance is key to this.

Additional field trips (i.e. concerts and performances) will be a part of this program. Continuation in CAP is based on consistent, weekly attendance, behavior, and satisfactory growth within the program.

I give permission to use my child's name, photograph and/or performance recordings (including audio and/or video forms) in brochure, web, and other promotional materials.
