Studio Enrollment Policies

Post-COVID-19 Requirements for Class/Behavior Expectations

• Face Masks are OPTIONAL AS OF 03/2022. HOWEVER, “Mask Required” classes WILL be in place if there are students needing extra precautions. Please be sure to schedule your student for a “Mask Optional” class time if this is an issue.
• If any signs of illness (runny nose, coughing, headache) PLEASE RESCHEDULE YOUR CLASS. We can ALWAYS reschedule a class; Always play it safe rather than being sorry later.
• Wear clothes appropriate for ART CLASS. There are no longer shared aprons in the studio.
• Students will continue to be asked to wash their hands upon arrival to class, before starting their lesson.
• Please be ON TIME to class and PICK UP your student(s) ON TIME due to limited studio space and our cleaning procedures between classes. 
• Students may bring their own water/drink from home, we do not provide them.
• Students are expected to set up their own materials needed from their personal drawer, and the teachers will prepare any materials needed from the studio.
• Students are expected to be respectful to the teachers and peers in their class. Bad behavior will not be tolerated, and the parent/guardian will be notified immediately of any occurrences.
• Students will be responsible for any damages to studio materials, the studio space, or other students’ belongings. 
• NO DROP-INS, CLASSES MUST BE SCHEDULED!

What Tuition Covers/Material Fees

• Monthly tuition covers 4 lessons per month, for students that come 1x per week, and 8 lessons per month, for students that come 2x per week.
• IF it is a 5-week month of your student’s class time, that 5th class is a BONUS with no additional cost. However, if 1 class is missed in a 5-week month, there is NO make-up class needed until that student misses an additional class that month. (See Absences/Make-Up Class Policy for more)
• Upon enrollment, a materials fee will be due, depending on what materials/program your student will need. The only other time materials fees would be due is if your student runs out of something, or is moving onto another program.
• Any materials left at the art studio longer than 14 days of not being enrolled in class will automatically be donated to the studio. 

Absences/Make-Up Class Policy

• Please notify Carly via text or call if your student cannot make it to their class, as soon as you can. 
• Make-up classes are ONLY GIVEN if we are notified AT LEAST ONE HOUR prior to the scheduled class start time. Text, call, or let us know in-person if there are known future dates that will be missed.
• Make-up classes need to be scheduled and taken within 60 days of the original class, unless otherwise discussed with Carly.
• IF there is NO NOTICE that the student will be missing their class, THAT COUNTS AS A CLASS, no exceptions.
• In a 5-week month, there is no make-up class needed if your student misses 1 class; They will still have their 4 monthly classes.
  • If a 2nd class is missed in a 5-week month, then a make-up class is needed, as long as we were notified prior of the absence.
