CANCELLATIONS: In the event of illness, classes may be cancelled.  You will be notified by telephone ASAP. You must provide a number where you can be reached, or where you check for messages frequently. If your child will not be attending after school classes due to cancellation, or because of personal reasons, you are responsible for arranging pickup with child’s classroom teacher, or making other pickup arrangements.

REFUNDS: No refunds will be given once the afterschool session starts. In the event that you wish to pull your child from a class before the end of the session, your payment will be forfeited. The success of this self-funded afterschool program depends entirely upon enrollment, so we cannot give any refunds once our session starts.
