ARTPLAY POLICIES and PROCEDURES

All ArtPlay students, teaching artists and staff are to behave in a respectful manner. If a student is having behavioral issues that disrupt the harmony of a class/camp/workshop, efforts will be made to tend to the problem internally by speaking with the student.

If a student’s behavioral problem continues with no success in rectifying the behavior, a parent/guardian will be notified and will be required to pick-up the student. No refunds will be given. If the student is an adult, the student will be asked to leave the premises. No refunds will be given. If a student becomes ill during a class/camp/workshop, a parent/guardian will be contacted to pick-up their student if needed.

ArtPlay encourages students to bring only items that are necessary for their class/camp/workshop. We discourage students from bringing electronic devices that might disrupt their education. ArtPlay is not responsible for any lost, stolen or misplaced items.

PICK-UP / DROP-OFF

Parents of pre-k through middle school aged students must pick up students immediately after class is dismissed. Parents arriving 10 minutes after class dismissal will be charged $15 dollars. A charge of $15 will be applied for each additional 10 minutes following. Late fees must be paid within two weeks of accrual or student will not be allowed to return to class until a $0 account balance has been restored.

As a courtesy, please call ArtPlay at (205) 975-4769 if a student is being picked up early, or being dropped off late. ArtPlay staff must also be notified if someone other than the guardian on file is picking up a student.

VISITATION

ArtPlay does provide pre-care/aftercare for many summer camps and some classes and workshops. Fees vary.

Visitation during ArtPlay classes/camps/workshops may disrupt your student’s creative process. We encourage parents or visitors to wait in a designated waiting area until your student’s lesson is finished.

Parents with children 5 years-old and under are expected to remain on site during classes or workshops.

MEDIA RELEASE
