Hello Dance Education K-12 Majors!
I hope you are all well and safe. I have seen a few of you in the halls and am so excited to be back in the Fall. I have a few updates. Please feel free to share this information with others—and reach out to a friend to make sure they saw this email.
Here are a few things to keep in mind as we begin this school year:
- New faculty!
- We are excited to welcome Angela Challis and Adeena Lago as new Dance Education faculty! They both have incredible experience and insights!
- We are also welcoming Marin Roper to the Dance Education Committee – she will be helping with some advisement and program development.
- Dance 276R and Dance 245 block switch for F2020 only.
- Some of the shifts of the semester meant that we swapped Dance 245 Urban to first block and Dance 276R to second block (only for Fall 2020). This will help with fingerprinting especially (see below). If you are needing an add code for Dance 276R, fingerprint/background clearance must be approved before I can send you an add code.
- Dance 346 add code:
- I think some of you may not be able to register for this course due to fingerprint clearance. The instructor, Dr. Kathleen Sheffield, is aware of this and can send you an add code—please contact her at kathleen.bunker.sheffield@gmail.com.
- Fingerprinting updates:
- Fingerprinting is now open, but only by appointment. Please make sure your fingerprints/background clearance is up-to-date: https://education.byu.edu/advisement/fingerprint.
- As much in-school as possible:
- We will be doing some virtual school visits, but plan on doing as much in-person as possible. Please consider transportation options for school visits.
- Stay safe and healthy:
- Lastly, we hope to keep meeting in-person and while simultaneously keeping people healthy. Please continue to mask-up and practice social distancing as much as possible.
See you soon!
