4th & 5th Grade School Play

 

 

 

 

LES PTA is partnering once again with the fantastic Town Hall Education to bring you this year’s musical: Willy Wonka Jr.!!!

 

Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka JR. follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whomever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats, but the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather. The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka's rules in the factory — or suffer the consequences.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Registration will open on Tuesday, October 10 at 8PM.  As soon as it is open, you can start enrolling in the class.  Once the class is full, you can get on the waitlist for the class; hopefully we can still have some join the class from the waitlist.

There are two main steps to enrolling for a class: signing up for our class system, Jackrabbit, and enrolling in the specific class.
 

First Time Enrolling in a Town Hall Class (Create a Jackrabbit Account)
- Start the sign up process for Jackrabbit via the link provided (this is the link we will send out to parents)
- During the sign up process, you can choose to enroll for a class, this is where parents will choose their class preference. The classes are labeled as follows:

THEd Residency: LES Tech Crew WEDNESDAY
Please double check you are enrolled for the correct class. We have multiple classes each day of the week, so please double check it specifically lists "LES" in the class title.
- To complete registration, guardians are asked to input their credit card information. Please note, this just links the card to their online account and does not complete payment for classes.


***Also note, guardians are welcome to enroll in a Jackrabbit account prior to enrollment opening for LES classes, but they will not see the LES class as an enrollment option until October 10 at 8PM.

- If done adding classes to your cart, click on either the "Check Out Now" pop up OR the cart icon in the upper right hand side
- Click "Accept Enrollment Fees and Continue" and follow any additional steps to complete enrollment.

Once you create your account and log in, the price for the class will show up under "account balance" as an unpaid balance. If you have successfully enrolled for the class, it will show up under "My Schedule" at the bottom of the home page. Guardians are welcome to complete the class payment just after enrolling, but it is not a requirement. You will be notified via email that payment will be collected one week after enrollment via the card on file unless you reach out about a payment plan or tuition assistance.
