As we all continue to navigate this delicate time with our children, I wanted to remind you of the precautions we are taking for our students at Derby Dinner. *All Performing Arts Academy staff are double vaccinated and boosted. *Classes are limited to 14 students to allow for social distancing. *There are air purifiers in each of our studio classrooms. *All staff and students are required to wear masks regardless of vaccination status when Clark and surrounding counties are in yellow/orange/red according to the CDC. If Clark and surrounding counties are in green/blue, masks will be optional.
