Spring ’24 Class Offerings

  • Spring classes will be held on Tuesdays 3/26/24 – 5/14/24. Classes are held at Trinity Church, 3355 Dunckel Rd, Lansing, MI 48911.

  • This is NOT a drop-off program, children need to be accompanied by an adult and that adult is to stay in the building or on the grounds while the child is in class.

Orientation

If you were unable to attend Orientation in the Fall please review the Orientation Presentation for additional information on classes.

Registration

Our Registration is a tiered system:

  • Teachers are allowed to register online beginning 3/4.

  • Those making a significant volunteer commitment (details about this are listed in this post) are allowed to register at Volunteer Registration on 3/12. Registrations will take place at Trinity Church from 10-1. Please see the above linked post for all the details.

  • Open registration is 3/14/24 – 3/20/24.

  • We will still allow registrations after 3/20/24 with teacher permission. This allows our teachers to have time to properly prepare for their class and we want to make sure any last minute additions are communicated directly to them. The registration page will be very similar to this one in look and feel, and there will be links to register listed with each class.

Waitlist

  • If a class is full, please still register for it. You will have the option to be put on a waitlist.

  • Please do this so we are able to notify you if a spot opens up and to let us know how popular a class is so that we can try to offer it at a different time or keep on the schedule to run again in a future term.

  • Enrollment can be a flowing process, so please be patient!

Lunch Hour

  • Lunch will be held in rooms 162/163/164 (they combine into one room) from 12:00 – 1:00 pm. Teen lunch will be in room 166.

  • The refrigerator and microwave in the kitchen are available for use by adults.

  • The gym is NOT to be used by DICE from 12:00 – 2:00 pm.

  • Kids are welcome to go outside with their designated adult during the lunch hour. During bad weather, the game room can be used for extra space after the kids have finished eating their lunch, again accompanied by their designated adult.

Financial Assistance

  • Financial Assistance is available to those families experiencing economic hardship. 

FAQ

  1. What if my child falls outside the age range but I would still like to register them? Age Ranges listed are recommendations, if you feel like your child would be a good fit for the class please reach out to the teacher (click their name and it links to their email) to get permission to join and email info@dicemichigan.org and request an override to complete registration. **Note: If you falsify your child’s age to get around this requirement, we will unenroll you from classes and ask that you register again with correct information.
    • Volunteer registration note: If you need age exceptions for your child(ren)s first or second choice classes you MUST email the teacher BEFORE registration and bring proof with you (show us the email on your phone, print it out) so we are able to keep things moving. If you do not do this we may not be able to get you into that class as we will not have time to check any age exceptions with teachers at the event. 
  2. Can my child’s therapist join them in class? We are supportive of accommodating everyone as much as we can. Please reach out to the teacher for each class to get permission (click their name and it links to their email). There are times when the additional therapy occurring during class is disruptive to the rest of the class so we want to be sure that the Teacher, Parent, and Therapist are in direct communication to ensure a smooth class for everyone involved.
