CLASS POLICIES
***Classes
start promptly at the time listed.
Please have your lovely buns in the seat and be ready to go! Showing up late is very disruptive to the
class that is already in progress. Plan
ahead for traffic or other things that might slow you down!
If
you are more than 10 minutes late, you may be asked to get into another
class. If you are more than 15 minutes
late, you will forfeit your class fee.
Classes
must be paid for at the time of registration.
You are not considered registered unless a class is paid for which could
affect your seat in those classes with student limits. You may pay with cash, check or use a credit
card with a $2 handling fee. You may
register over the phone and mail in a check or give us a credit card
number.
We
also assume you're taking a class to enjoy a break for a few hours and learn
some cool stuff without interruptions.
That said, we will now begin each class by asking you to turn off your
cell phones or silence them during class.
This will enhance everyone's learnin' and enjoyment of the class at
hand.
Thank
you in advance for understanding. If you
have problems or questions about these policy updates, please see Patsy.
