What is Cotillion and what does the word Cotillion mean? |

The word Cotillion means a party with manners.
The Gollatz Cotillion has included children's dining skills,
social conduct, fun games and etiquette! |
|
How did I receive the Cotillion invitation? |
| |
Your child's name has been personally referred to the Cotillion by either a friend or Patron. It is a privilege to receive the Cotillion invitation not a mark against your family that you need manners. |
|
Is a family required to be a member of a country club or other club organizations to join the Gollatz Cotillion? |

the Cotillion events.

|
What is The Gollatz Cotillion Commitment
to Cotillion Families? |

priced. |
| |
The Gollatz Cotillion class size will be
intimate to attend to your child's needs in their development
of manners, social etiquette, dance, etiquette and dining
skills. |
| |
Dancing is certainly fun and will be a
portion of the Gollatz Cotillion program however, our core
focus will be to expose and instruct children in dining manners
and social etiquette. We feel these skills are more beneficial. |

it together. Cotillion is an event where you will be among
friends or make new ones. |

|
Is it the same instruction every year? |
| |
The dance portion of the Cotillion will
be advanced by grade. Our theme parties and outlines are new
and different each year. Many of the standards of etiquette
will remain. The program grows and progresses with the child
to avoid being redundant. If a child begins with the Gollatz
Cotillion in 3rd grade or comes in at 6th grade they will
not be behind in anyway as our program starts new and fresh
each year. |
|
How soon after I send my response to the office will I hear if I am a member? |

The office response time is usually within
the week of enrollment. If a confirmation is not received
via email or regular mail within 5 days please call the business
office (800) 832-4574.

|
My child is on a waiting list, what do I do now? |
| |
You will receive either an email or message
informing you of your child's initial status upon responding
to enrollment. When your child is placed or removed from the
waiting list you will be contacted by the office. You may
get a partner for your child of the opposite sex and same
grade to join in order to maintain an even ratio, or wait
for the class to balance itself out with continued enrollments. |
|

can not accept anymore children. Please call the office to

Do I have to stay with my child or may I drop them off? |
| |
The Gollatz Cotillion prides itself on a safe environment. Many families choose to stay and share in the Cotillion experience. It is so fun to see their child transforming before their very eyes. |
|
I would like to volunteer as a Chaperone.
What are the duties? |
| |
If you would like to be a Chaperone, please
contact the office for the date you wish to attend (800) 832-4574.
Chaperones are asked to arrive on the evening scheduled at
least 15 minutes before the Cotillion commences and appropriately
dressed. Upon arrival, please complete a name tag located
on the reception table. You will be registering the children
as they arrive by placing a "check mark" in front
of the student's names as Cotillion students arrive. Please
remain at the registration table (check-in) approximately
15 minutes after the Cotillion begins to accommodate any late
arrivals. During the Cotillion Chaperones are asked to remain
in the room and be available. At the conclusion of the Cotillion
the children will shake your hand and address you by name
and with a compliment. Please make certain that all children
have direct eye contact with you and that the children address
you correctly and clearly. |
|
What happens if we are late to the class? |
| |
Please look for either the Chaperones for
the evening or see directly Mr. Klapp for a partner placement. |
|
Are we automatically invited next year to the Cotillion? |
| |
Yes, once your family has enjoyed the Gollatz Cotillion experience your family will be placed in our data base for years to come. |
