Make-ups:
When you register your child for class, you are paying for your
child’s place in that class, not their attendance. We do not promise
or owe make-up classes or credit for missed classes. Excessive
make-up requests will not be allowed. However, we understand that
children get ill, therefore we offer the following options for
ILLNESS ONLY:

let us know he/she is out ill. At that time we will schedule an
appropriate make-up (Preschool Program) or issue an Open Gym Pass
(Rec/Team Programs). Once a make-up is scheduled, it is up to you to
get your child to that class, we cannot reschedule missed make-ups
or reissue expired Open Gym passes. Make-ups can only be
issued/redeemed for currently enrolled students and must be taken
within 30 days of absence. Please do not ask us to pro-rate, refund
or carry forward fees for classes missed. Excessive make-up requests
will not be allowed. Call us if you are having a scheduling problem,
and we will do our BEST to help. Limit 2 make-ups per month.
·
Parent/Child Classes, Preschool Classes: We will do our best to schedule your child into another class
of the SAME LEVEL if room is available. Make-up MUST

but we cannot credit your account for the missed class.
