Policies

Registration and Tuition: An annual $38.00 registration fee (nonrefundable) is due at the time of registration for all new and returning students. (except those who paid the fee in the summer of 2012) Tuition is due the FIRST class of each month. A $10 late fee will be applied to all tuition received after the 10th of the month. We assume enrollment is for the school year unless the student is withdrawing from the program. Please inform the Secretary two (2) weeks in advance if your child is dropping. Students cannot drop out and re-enter at will. Since we offer make-up classes and because we frequently have waiting lists, a student’s spot will not be held in a particular class. Those dropping and wishing to re-enter must re-register and pay a $10 Bookkeeping Fee. There is a 10% discount for each additional child in the family (10% off lowest tuition)

Make up Policy: Classes missed due to illness, emergency, school function, religious observance, or vacations may be made up by scheduling a make-up class with the Secretary within one month of the absence. We reserved the right to deny make-ups for reasons deemed inappropriate. Students missing scheduled make-ups will NOT be allowed to reschedule. Make-up classes are NOT held over from the School Year to the Summer Session or vice-versa. NO REFUNDS or CREDITS ARE GIVEN FOR MISSED CLASSES if individuals are unable to do a make-up class. This also applies to the Parent & Tot and Cheerleading specialty classes.

Parent Observation: Parents of students in the Girls and Boys Classes are invited to view the 1st class of every other month only. Parents may wait in the kitchen area on those days they are not scheduled to watch. All applications are accepted on a first come, first served basis. Various classes are limited in size; therefore, prior registration is required. Students who attended a
class last year must reregister for the class they wish to take. We do not hold spots from year to year. Registration fee and monthly tuition must be paid prior to a student taking the class. Unless otherwise noted, your child(ren) will be enrolled in the designated class. We reserve the right to cancel a class due to insufficient enrollment. You will be notified if this occurs. Classes start September 5th.
