Summer Policies

1. Refunds/Student Absence

There are no refunds or credits for summer classes or programs.  If we do not select you for a program which requires screening or audition, we will refund your tuition (minus any registration fee).

The School reserves the right to cancel a class or program due to under-enrollment, in which case you will receive a full refund for the class or program that is cancelled. We are unable to make up student absences for any summer program – group class or private lesson.

2. Visiting & Use of the Premises

For Parents of students under age 18: Understanding that the facilities used for Pakachoag programs are accessible to the general public, when you submit your registration, you are confirming that you are — or your designated caregiver is — responsible to wait with your child/ren until your child’s or children’s assigned teacher is ready for him/her to enter his/her scheduled class or lesson.

We also require that you, as parent, or your designated caregiver be available promptly at the conclusion of the lesson or class to pick up your child and that you, as parent, or the designated caregiver, not school or facility staff or teachers, are/is responsible for your child or children’s safety and actions at all times prior to and immediately following a scheduled lesson or class.

3. Teacher/Weather Cancellations

If the School cancels a class due to teacher sickness or inclement weather, we will either arrange for a substitute teacher or a make-up will be provided at the end of the program session.  When registering, please check that we have your primary phone number. This allows us to contact you quickly in the event of a last minute sick/weather cancellation.

4. Priority Registration

We can offer priority registration, upon request, to summer families choosing to re-enroll for the Fall session for a similar program or class. Please inquire with the office for more information regarding pre-registration options. This may be particularly valuable for students taking private lessons, where teacher schedules sometimes fill in advance of September, based upon Spring semester continuing student registration.
