Fall Class Schedule
Our 10-week semester will begin on Monday, September 9th* and end on Thursday, November 21st. There will be no classes held during PCSD Fall Break (October 14-18) and Thanksgiving Break (November 25-29), as well as on Halloween (Thursday, October 31st).
*Due to not holding classes on Halloween, all Thursday classes will begin a week early on September 5th.
*Participation Policy: (Fall and Spring Classes)
Due to the 10-week nature of our Fall and Spring classes, only 2 absences will be allowed to guarantee participation in the final recording or performance. These 2 absences cannot be within the final 2 weeks of classes. This guarantees that students have adequate time to prepare for their performance by attending regularly. Students will always be allowed and encouraged to participate during regular class time, regardless of the number of absences they have. For any unplanned conflicts/emergencies that arise, please email/text/call the YouTheatre Administration ASAP. Thank you for helping your child be successful in our tuition-free program!
