POLICIES & OTHER INFORMATION

Registration: A non-refundable fee of $10 per student is required each Semester as well as for the Summer Session. Registration is ongoing throughout the year (subject to availability). Download a registration packet. Download Packet pdf

Late Fee: A $10 late fee will be applied to installment accounts if payment is not received on or before the 1st of the month. No exceptions. To avoid late fees automatic payments using a credit card is available. Please see the front desk at the Court Street studio to set this up.

Non-Sufficient Funds: There is a $20 fee for all NSF's.

Withdrawal from Classes: Students may choose to discontinue classes at any time. However it is your responsibility to notify us in writing immediately. A $25 drop fee will be charged. If you pre-paid your tuition and drop in the middle of the Semester, the balance remaining will be a Studio Roxander credit which can be used for future tuition only - there are no refunds, transfers or credits of tuition funds paid.

Changes to Registration: Students may add classes at any time via our website or at the Court Street studio. However, if you wish to transfer classes (move from one class to another) you will need to complete a Supplemental Registration Form. Forms can be downloaded online and are available at the Front Desk at both studio locations.

Termination of Enrollment by Studio: Studio Roxander reserves the right to accept or deny registration forms and may cancel registration at any time without notice. In such case a refund for unused classes will be given.

Cancelled Classes: Classes with less than 5 students enrolled may be cancelled, combined, or rescheduled at Studio Roxander's discretion.

Missed Classes/Make-Ups -Missed classes must be made-up within four (4) weeks of absence and scheduled in advance of the make-up day. Once scheduled, all make-ups are counted unless canceled prior to make-up day.

Substitutes: The studio reserves the right to provide a substitute teacher if the regularly scheduled teacher is ill or otherwise unable to teach classes. If a teacher is ill and cannot arrange a substitute, the class will be cancelled and missed class will be made up.

Extreme Weather or Unexpected Interruption of Classes: On occasion the school must cancel classes due to extreme weather or events beyond our control such as power outages. In these instances no make-up classes will be issued. We cancel classes if the Medford School District cancels school or other after school activities. Please be sure to check the radio, local news or Medford School District website if you think classes may be cancelled.

STUDENT/PARENT GUIDELINES

Parent Viewing - Parents are welcome to observe any and all scheduled classes. We ask that parents of the dancers be aware of their influence and possible distraction and observe accordingly. Parents and friends are asked to remain in the viewing and lobby area at all times and we ask that they not interrupt the class by speaking directly to their dancer during class.

Tardiness - Our Studio takes its training responsibility to each student very seriously. The opening exercise is designed to prepare the young dancer physically and mentally for the rest of the class. Children who arrive late miss the first exercise and disrupt the class focus. For this reason tardy students will not be allowed to enter the classroom after the class has begun. The studio reserves the right to have students who come late, sit out and watch class. A make-up class may be arranged for that child.

Arrival/Drop Off & Pick Up - Students may arrive at the studio on their own, either from school or dropped off. However, we are not responsible for students outside the building and insist on all children waiting inside for their rides. Parents please come in to pick up your children. We encourage students to arrive 15 minutes early to prepare for class and stretch. However we are not responsible for providing supervision in excess of 15 minutes before or after class.

Dress Code - All students must wear their appropriate class dress code in order to participate in classes. NO STREET CLOTHING OR SHOES. The studio reserves the right to have students out of dress code, sit out and watch class. No make-up class will be allowed.

Communication - Please take the time to read emails from us. The Studio will communicate information to our students and parents primarily through email along with occasional handouts in class. If you are absent please check with the front desk for any missed handouts
