Dear CoroRio members and parents,
We are looking forward to seeing you all at Desoto Hills Baptist Church (4680 Getwell Rd., Southaven) on Tuesday, August 14th between 5:00pm-7:00pm. All members need to
complete the registration process before beginning rehearsals on Tuesday, August 21st. If you would like to download, review, and fill out the forms we need in advance to allow your registration to go more quickly, you can find them on our website here: Member Info Page (The password is Rise2018)
Required items include:
- ANNUAL AGREEMENT
- CoroRio Medical Release and Media Waiver
- Direct Debit Authorization Form (or credit card info- required if making monthly payments)
- Either full annual tuition & activity fee payment OR the payment for one month
- The first month must be paid by cash, check, Paypal, or credit card.
- Direct Debit payments start in September.
- Returning members must fill out a new direct debit form each year.
The tuition and activity fee breakdown and payment options can be viewed here:2018-2019 Tuition- Activity Fees
You will notice that the pricing has been revised slightly for this year. Nothing has actually increased in the overall cost of the program, but we have had to change the breakdown and wording to be compliant with non-profit legislation. Instead of requiring every student to sell a 1/4 page ad for our program book like we have in previous years, we are offering it as an option this year with the opportunity to earn a referral discount on your tuition if you choose to participate. The new details about the program ad sale can be found here if you would like to participate in the discount program this year: 2018 Ad Sales Packet
We will have sales packets with a copy of last year’s annual program (for customer viewing) ready for you to pick up tomorrow evening.
The Annual Agreement asks you to read and agree to the policies set forth in our Season Guidebook. You can find a digital copy of that document here: Season Guidebook 2018-2019
NEW PARENTS: (Or returning parents who want a refresher on information!) All new CoroRio parents must attend an informational meeting on either August 14th at 7:00 pm OR August 28th at 7:30 pm.
