ANMS follows the Newton Public School calendar. All Federal holidays are observed. The academic calendar is available on www.allnewtonmusicschool.com or in the office.
PARKING SAFETY
Drop Off
Drop off students near the front door before the lesson and leave the lot immediately. Parking is available on Prince Street or the carriage road on Commonwealth Ave. There are only 12 designated spaces in the front parking lot. Please do not assume one will be available for you! DO NOT park on Chestnut Street. It is VERY DANGEROUS!
Pick Up
Pick up students at the front door. Arrive 5-10 minutes AFTER the student’s lesson ends. Give the student time to pack up, get down the stairs, and be waiting on the porch for his/her ride. Students are safe waiting on the porch, and should be instructed to stay there until their ride has arrived. You may not come early and live park! This causes a backup of cars onto Chestnut Street and is dangerous. Our goal is the safety of all people using this facility.
