Could you post more info about the school prior to the meeting? Knowing the basics would help more parents decide if it's a good choice to investigate more by attending the meeting.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you! :clap:

Since this posting, I've heard about it from Heartworks Kids & a friend who is considering it. I do have a ton of questions but will hold them until the info meeting. One that I have to ask, though. I'm a "musician's widow" at night, so are children welcome at the meeting?

Beach LoverAuthor

Jan 27, '09 · 8:07 PM#8

Children are of course welcome. I always bring my "kids kit" with me. Puzzles, Coloring books, etc. I'm glad to hear everyones feedback and if you have any questions you need to ask now go ahead an email at cbflgrl8806@yahoo.com or compassroseacademy@yahoo.com

With Love,
Christine

A Couple of Notes

Just so everyone knows there is no difference between the two meetings, except for location. The meeting on Tuesday, February 3rd and the meeting on Wednesday, February 4th will be exactly the same. We just want to offer you two chances to come and talk about the new school with us.

Also we want everyone to know that this is a school for ALL CHILDREN. Everyone is welcome! :welcome:

Yes even if you are green with purple polka dots you and your child/ren will be welcome at Compass Rose Academy. So please pass this message on!

Thanks and I can't wait to see everyone this week!
