1. Admission to any programs or classes is always on a first-come, first-serve basis regardless of prior attendance in a class. We reserve the right to close registration for classes that are filled and to cancel classes that are under-subscribed. Please note that class size is limited.
2. Notice of withdrawal from a class or registration application must be in writing and must be postmarked via U.S. Postal Service 7 days/ 1 week before the first day of the same semester. Telephone and fax messages and/or email WILL NOT serve as sufficient notice of withdrawal for tuition refund.
3. Fees are non-refundable regardless of acceptance into a class or not. There are NO refunds due to absences or otherwise. There are NO refunds of any kind after the first class of each semester. In the rare case that a class is canceled due to under subscription, tuition and materials costs will refunded via U.S. Postal Service. All checks are deposited upon receipt separately from class registration and organization. Any check returned unpaid for any reason will be charged a $30.00 fee.
4. ONLY FOR MUSICAL BEGINNINGS AND FAMILY MUSIC TIME: Two (2) makeup classes per registered child on a space-available basis are allowed per semester. Makeups may not carry over into the next semester. Please find the "makeup sign-up notebook" in class to register your makeup class. This is the ONLY WAY to sign up for a makeup class. You may sign up at your class time or visit the classroom anytime between classes. PLEASE DO NOT CALL to inquire about makeups and DO NOT COME IN DURING ANY ONGOING CLASS to accomplish this task. PLEASE DO NOT JUST DROP IN TO SEE IF THERE MIGHT BE SPACE IN A CLASS WHICH IS ABOUT TO BEGIN.
5. Siblings are welcome to have a one-time "guest visit pass" per semester. If a sibling must come to any other class due to unavoidable circumstances, there is a $15.00 charge due at that class. Infant siblings 8 months and younger may attend the same class FREE! (For Musical Beginnings and Family Music Time Only). Remember that there is a reduced fee for a sibling to participate in a class.
6. SNOW POLICY - Classes are canceled in accordance with Washington D.C. Public Schools. When that school system cancels classes due to bad weather, all music classes are canceled also; HOWEVER any school delays or early closures DO NOT AFFECT our class schedule, i.e. we will proceed with the normal class schedule. For Saturday classes or non-school day classes or in case of any doubt, you may listen to WTOP 107.7 FM or 1500 AM, or call 301-251-1524 or 301-251-1148 for a recorded message. Classes canceled due to bad weather will be made up according to available time constraints. There are NO REFUNDS for classes canceled due to weather.
7. We reserve the right to dismiss, without refund any child or adult who is unable to conduct him/herself in a respectful and acceptable manner.
8. DO NOT BRING ANY FOOD INTO THE BUILDING. There is ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD or DRINK (water excepted) and especially NO CHEWING GUM of any kind allowed ANYWHERE in the church building. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do all your eating at home, in your car, or outside the building. This means NO COFFEE also. FEED YOUR CHILDREN BEFORE COMING TO CLASS. People unable to respect and follow this policy will be required to leave the premises.
