Withdrawals: The classes run on a month to month schedule. Parents must give a two week written notice prior to withdrawing a student from the class. Otherwise, parents will be billed for the entire month. If a student is absent without written notification for two consecutive classes, that student shall be dropped from the class, however the parent is still responsible for the tuition for the month the unexplained absences occurred.
Make-ups: No credits or refunds will be given for classes not attended. All absences must be approved in advance by the instructor to be eligible for make-up classes. Students may make-up a maximum of two missed lessons per month.
All make-up lessons must be scheduled in advance with the staff, and at a time approved by the staff.
In the event of a class cancellation by the instructor, make up lessons will be provided at the convenience of the parents.
Valuables: Valuable items should not be brought to the gym. Rhythmic Artistic Company will not be responsible for lost or stolen items.
Holidays: In order to compensate for the extra days in the standard four week billing month, Rhythmic Artistic Company will be closed for four weeks throughout the year (roughly scheduled for March, July, August, and December) and there will be no need for reimbursement or makeup classes. Any other holidays or upcoming events which will interfere with normally scheduled classes will be announced in advance in the newsletter published periodically by the Rhythmic Artistic Company, and/or on the dry erase board located near the entrance along with the times for make up classes.
Classes: Classes will start on time. Do not drop off students more than 10 minutes prior to the beginning of the class. Students must be picked up immediately upon the completion of their class, unless prior arrangements have been made, in writing, with the staff of Rhythmic Artistic Company for continued supervision of the student. The parents of students requiring continued supervision without prior arrangements will be charged at the current private lesson rate, prorated for the each portion of an hour the student is under the supervision of the staff of Rhythmic Artistic Company.
Visitors: Visitors must sit quietly in the designated areas. Please do not talk to or otherwise distract the students who are participating in the classes. Any interruptions could result in serious injury.
Any visitor who brings a minor, who is not enrolled in a class scheduled for that time, to the gym will be considered the guardian of that minor and is responsible for the actions of the minor while the minor is on the premises of Rhythmic Artistic Company. The guardian of the minor is responsible for ensuring the minor obeys all of the rules of the gym and stays in the designated visitor areas. Rhythmic Artistic Company will not be held responsible for any accident or injury that occurs as a result of inappropriate behavior of the minor. Do not leave any minors not enrolled in the class without adult supervision!
The staff of Rhythmic Artistic Company reserves the right to require any visitor to leave the premises if it is deemed in the best interests of the students.
Membership: Rhythmic Artistic Company reserves the right to cancel a students membership at any time.
