I registered my child, but it said I’m on the waitlist. Now what?
The PWF Saturday Fencing Program is often at capacity. Once we complete prioritized enrollment for our returning students, we begin filling the remaining slots with waitlisted applicants until we reach our capacity. Parents of waitlisted applicants are notified in August for a September start and in December for a January start. We also occasionally enroll students throughout the season when unexpected de-enrollment occurs. When your turn comes, you will be contacted via email to complete the registration process.
I’m concerned about COVID-19. What are your guidelines for ensuring that all students, parents, and staff are safe?
Per guidelines recommended by established medical and public health authorities such as city and state health departments and the CDC, masks are now optional. In the event of a future outbreak, we will update our guidelines in consultation with the aforementioned authorities and notify parents well in advance of making any changes.
