In order to complete a regisration, please pay for a half day morning/afternoon session (periods 1-4 or 5-8) or a full day of classes (periods 1-8). Our BAPA staff reviews our waitlist throughout the week. If a seat is available in a class please make sure that your child has a complete schedule.
Class capacity and class cancellation: In order to run a class, there is a minimum requirement of 6 students. When a class is closed due to low enrollment, our BAPA staff will reach out to parents by phone or email and will be provided with alternative class choices.
