an excessive amount of unexcused absences. Upon Director's approval, private lessons
may be arranged and scheduled according to teacher availability.
POLICIES
REFUNDS: Class Payments are Non-Refundable. Only written requests that are
received PRIOR to the 3rd class will be reviewed for possible refund.
NO deductions, pro-rating or refunds for student absences or for students dropping classes due to another activity. IF available and appropriate, Make-up classes for absenses may be scheduled within 1 Month of the Absence.
Refunds will be given for Cancelled Classes Only if a make-up class cannot be provided.
RETURNED CHECKS: Service Charge of $20
SNOW CANCELLATION POLICY: ONE cancellation due to snow or other inclement weather will be allotted per school year regardless of the semester and will not require a make-up. Any additional weather related cancellations will be made up.
If the Framingham Public Schools cancel school for reasons such as snow or other inclement weather, the dance school will also cancel all classes that start before 3:00 PM. Classes starting after 3:00 PM will most likely be cancelled, but be sure to call the studio for confirmation because there is a possibility that classes may be held. Weekend classes must call the studio to check for cancellations. Call 508-875-2723.
STUDENT ENROLLMENT:
Enrollment is ongoing throughout the year, however, limitations may apply.
With director and teacher approval, students may join level-appropriate classes if there
are openings. Class size is limited, therefore early registration is recommended and
placement cannot be guaranteed.
CLASS PLACEMENT:
It is most important that students be placed in a class with a level that is most suitable for
them (age is secondary to level). Please respect teacher recommendations and
understand that appropriate
placement greatly benefits the student and is in their best interest.
