ABSENCES & MAKING UP CLASSES
In order to receive a make-up class for a missed class, we MUST be given 12-HOURS ADVANCE NOTICE of an absence. Once a registered class is canceled by a parent/guardian, a make-up pass can be issued by our administrators. Please call or email to schedule your make-up. Make-up classes are scheduled based on availability. Thus, you will be taking two classes a week: one make-up class, one regular class. Make-up class passes do NOT expire however they are only available to students enrolled in monthly classes. Once a make-up class is scheduled, it cannot be rescheduled. We do not issue credits or refunds for missed classes.

CANCELLATIONS
If you decide not to continue with our classes, please cancel your subscription BEFORE your next billing (the first week of the month). We DO NOT issue refunds or apply credits for unused classes. We also want to  ensure that your student is able to finish all of their artwork before discontinuing.

PICKING UP YOUR STUDENT
Students must be picked up ON TIME after class. All students are asked to wait on the benches outside (near the parking structure).

SAFE SPACE & REPRESENTATION
Alyce’s Art Studio shall not discriminate on the use of school space as the basis of gender identity nor gender expression. The school shall accept the gender identity that each student asserts. There is no medical or mental health diagnosis or treatment threshold that students must meet in order to have their gender identity recognized and respected. The assertion may be evidenced by an expressed desire to be consistently recognized by their gender identity and proper pronouns.  We believe students have a right to express their gender as they wish- regardless of their sex assigned at birth, students have a right to be free from discrimination/harassment based on religious views, students have a right to express LGBTQ pride. We have zero tolerance towards bullying, racism, and other discriminatory practices.
