Withdrawal from class after the first or second class will receive a partial refund, pro-rated by number of classes attended, less the $25 deposit. After the third class there are no refunds. Based on availability, we would be happy to transfer your student to another class in the current year.

Studio East reserves the right to adjust classes and Instructors or to cancel classes based upon enrollment. Full refunds will be given for cancelled classes.

Fall Semester Payment Deadlines

Full tuition for Fall Classes is due Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008. Space cannot be held past this date without full payment. Cancellations between September 2nd and the first day of class will receive a full refund less the $25 deposit.

Work Study Opportunities

Teenage students may be able to earn Tuition Trade for this and other Studio East programs by assisting classes and camps. Talk to Laura Shepherd, Education Director, for more information.

Scholarships

Studio East has a Scholarship Fund which allows us to give partial scholarships to deserving students in our programs. If your family needs financial assistance to participate in our classes, please submit your completed Scholarship Form to the front office as soon as possible.

Age Limits

Students must be within the prescribed age range for class on September 1st, 2008. Exceptions made only by special permission of the Education Director.

Sign In/Sign Out

Our youngest students, through age 8, must be signed in and out at the beginning and end of class by a parent or guardian. Please ensure you have enough time to walk your student to and from his/her classroom each day.

Drop Off and Pick Up

We hope that all of our students will be in class promptly each day. Please let us know if you will need to pick up your student before class ends.

Students may not be left unattended outside of class times. Arriving up to 15 minutes early is encouraged, but students must have adult supervision until the official start time of class. Parents must arrive promptly to pick up students at the end of class.

If you give your student permission to leave Studio East on his/her own, please provide a signed note to this effect with your student's Emergency Form. The Kirkland Library and Kirkland Teen Center are not a far walk from our building.

Emergency Forms

Students cannot participate without returning a fully completed and signed Emergency Form to the Studio on or before the first day of class.

Special Needs

Studio East Instructors are usually able to create ways for children with mild to moderate disabilities to succeed. Please write down any and all medications, disabilities and any physical, emotional or behavioral challenges your child may have on your student's Emergency Form, and discuss them with the Education Director and/or with your child's Instructor prior to the first day of class. This information will make our class instruction more effective and your child's experience more rewarding.

Class Observation

Parents are not required to stay on site during Studio East classes. Parents are allowed to observe and may be asked to assist in class from time to time in certain classes. However, we have found that students often participate more freely in class activities without parent observation, and so Instructors may ask you to wait in the lobby if you prefer to stay on site during classes. If you feel strongly about observing the class process, please talk with the Instructor about the best way to accommodate you without negatively impacting the students. Please do not bring other students with you if you are observing class.

Absence and Illness

Please alert the Studio if your student will be absent by calling (425) 827-3123. If your child is ill, contagious and/or running a fever, please DO NOT bring him/her to class. Studio East cannot dispense medication to your child.

Communication

Most communication will occur via email. Please check your email regularly for class announcements. Studio East encourages open communication between Instructors and families. Please feel free to reach the Instructor by leaving a message with Studio East at (425) 827-3123, or by emailing our Education Director, Laura Shepherd.

Code of Conduct

We at Studio East value each and every individual. In order to create an environment where each student has the freedom to grow, both as a performer and as an individual, Studio East does not tolerate the following:
