NEW CALENDAR ON OUR NEW WEBSITE!

In June, we launched a new website that includes an events/classes calendar and blog (plus most everything we had on the old site). 


We are excited about how these new features will help to connect  students, families and CIM fans with our programs, events and many activities! 


Take a few minutes to explore the site on your phone or computer. We particularly want you to know about the following pages:


-Student Updates: This is the go-to spot for busy parents! This replaces the old "students" page. Instead of lots of wordy text announcements, we'll keep this brief, and use the calendar (left margin on a pc, bottom of screen on a mobile) to communicate deadlines, CIM student gigs, important community events and meetings. *This year, we will still publish the same one-page year long view of dates here in addition to the "student announcements" emails for current students.*


-Class and Event Calendar: Check out the viewing options (upper right-hand side; by month, list view, photos view) and the filters (left-hand menu; adult classes, youth classes, all classes, events etc). You will find your favorite way to see what CIM is up to!


-New programming area: Check it out! The ASAP registration site is still there, but now we have our offerings listed on our own website as well.

IMPORTANT REGISTRATION DATES

Monday, August 22: Registration deadline for returning students to keep their lesson times. 


Friday, August 26: Registration deadline for group classes and ensembles, family discount.

FINANCIAL AID APPLICATIONS DUE AUGUST 22

COVID-19 POLICIES
