Important Announcements
In this section you will find regular updates and weekly announcements for the program. Please check back each week.
We will resume this Saturday September 12, 2009.
Registration will begin at 9:00 a.m. in the foyer. New families and returning families with changes to information should register at the desk. Please bring your cheque made payable to Forest City Talent Education with you on Saturday. Fees will not increase this year and are due on Saturday. Remember that fees are based on the highest level violin or cello student in the family.
To avoid unnecessary delays in the registration line ups, current families who are confident with calculating their fees are asked to simply bring your cheque in an envelope with your name and the child's/childrens name/s on the outside. We ask that you write the child's name on the cheques as well. This can be handed in to the "pay fees only" desk. We will contact you if there are any errors or missing information. Those wishing to pay in two installments should also include a post-dated cheque dated January 9, 2010 with half of the fee amount.
We are looking forward to another great year at FCTE. The schedule for Saturday September 12 is: (please check back Friday for any last minute changes).
