GENERAL KITTREDGE INFORMATION
Help Kittredge Be a Good Neighbor!
Over the years, Kittredge School’s neighbors have been wonderfully supportive about having us in their midst. Every year we ask for your help to keep it this way. We ask that when you drop off and pick up your child, please do not double-park and leave your car unattended, block our neighbors’ driveways or the intersection of 25th and Lake. Thank you, Kittredge and our neighbors will both appreciate it!

Private Violin Lessons are now available after School on Mondays
Crystal Chiu-Von Pischke
Do you have a child who loves music, but hasn’t picked up an instrument before? Or maybe you have a child who already plays in orchestra, and could benefit from private instruction. I can help! I have been teaching kids for almost 10 years. I have extensive experience in solo violin repertoire, orchestral repertoire, chamber music, and fiddle music. I incorporate some singing, dancing, music theory, and ear training into my lessons. I believe in making learning fun, and my reward comes from seeing your child grow and progress. Please email me if interested! Crystal Chiu-Von Pischke, truthordare831@gmail.com
