STUDENT
ARRIVALS & DEPARTURES
Unfortunately, due to the large number of
students participating in our classes, we are unable to accommodate and be
responsible for unsupervised children. Because our lobbies are small, we ask
that you arrive no more than 10 minutes before your class starts and that you
pick-up your child promptly after class.
Student drop-off and pick-up
times are very busy times on Saint Mary’s Street and in the circular
driveway in front of our building. Because we share space with an apartment
building for senior citizens right behind us, we need your help in order to
be good neighbors.
1. If you need to park in the circular driveway to assist your child into or
out of the building, please pull all the way over to the right-hand curb,
leaving the left lane open to through-traffic.
2. If you will be waiting at Arts Together throughout your child’s
entire class time, after dropping off your child, please move your car out of
the circular driveway and park on St. Mary’s Street.
3. Please do not park (even for a minute) in the driveway leading to the rear
of the building – this is a fire/emergency lane that must be left clear
for access to the senior citizen apartments behind us.
4. The parking lot behind Arts Together does not belong to us. Please do not
ever park there – no exceptions.
5. During drop-off and
pick-up times, our circular driveway and St. Mary’s Street are both
very busy – please be alert to traffic and your child’s
whereabouts at all times.

Withdrawals
You are financially
responsible for all class and/or workshop tuition, regardless of attendance,
until Arts Together receives a written request to withdraw. To withdraw
from a class, you must notify Arts Together in writing at least 30 days prior to the change in order to receive a
pro-rated refund of your tuition. To withdraw from a workshop, you must
notify Arts Together in writing at least 30 days
prior to the workshop’s start date to receive a refund of tuition minus
a $20 drop fee.
Artsfest
Students enrolled in second semester dance classes take part in Artsfest, our end of the year celebration and sharing
performance May 14-15, 2011. Most classes (noted on our web site with
asterisks) get costumes for these special days. The $35 Artsfest
fee is due February 1, 2011 and should be included with February’s
payment for these classes. (If you have set up your credit card to be
automatically charged, the $35 Artsfest fee will be
added to your February charge.)
Attire
At the first class meeting, instructors will make recommendations for
appropriate class attire should there be any.
Art Classes – Parents
should keep in mind that projects can be messy. We recommend that students
wear clothing that can get dirty and that can be easily cleaned. Students may
bring an oversized shirt or smock to wear in class if they prefer.
Dance & Movement Classes
– We suggest that students wear attire that is comfortable to move in.
If you are a first time dancer/mover at Arts Together and are unsure what to
wear, come to the first class meeting in a top and sweat pants, loose fitting
shorts or pants, or dance pants. The instructor will give advice and
recommendations that day. Most classes dance in bare feet. In ballet classes,
ballet slippers are recommended for students ages 5-8 and required for ballet
students age 9 and older.
Drama Classes – Drama
students usually take class in school or casual clothes. If the instructor
has specific recommendations, they will be made on the first day of class.
Pilates & Yoga Classes
– Students should wear attire that they find comfortable to move and
stretch in. Most participants wear sweats, yoga pants and/or loose fitting
shorts. If you have a yoga mat, please bring it with you. If you do not have
your own mat, we have plenty to share.
Missed
Classes
Refunds and/or credits will not be issued for missed classes, including those
missed for sickness and/or weather.

Withdrawing

Preschool tuition. You are financially responsible for all tuition payments,
regardless of attendance, until one month after Arts Together receives a
written request to withdraw.
Inclement
Weather
The Multi-Arts Preschool generally follows the inclement weather policies for
the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS). If WCPSS has a one-hour delay,
both morning and afternoon preschool will begin at the regular times. If
WCPSS has a two-hour delay, morning preschool will start one hour late and
end at the regular time, while the afternoon preschool program will adhere to
its regular schedule. If WCPSS is closed for the entire day, the morning
preschool program is cancelled as well. However, please call Arts Together
(828.1713 x103) after 11am to find out whether or not the afternoon preschool
program and classes will be held. It is also a good idea to check your email
if power is available.
Scholarships
Arts Together strives to provide educational opportunities to all interested
students, regardless of economic means. Scholarships are available for
students based on financial need. For more information about financial aid
for the Arts Together Multi-Arts Preschool, please contact us at 919.828.1713

Changes
You may register for additional camps once you have submitted your
registration form. A change fee is NOT charged to register for additional
camps. If you would like to switch your child from one Arts Together camp
into another, you may do so up to two weeks prior to the start date of the
camp being dropped. Arts Together charges a $25 change fee for each camp
change requested. Space must be available in the alternate camp to make the
switch.
Waitlist
When camps become full, families may ask to be waitlisted on the off
chance that a space opens up for their child.
Refunds
Refunds are issued only if a child withdraws from a camp and Arts Together
receives a written request by the following deadlines. To issue a 75% summer
tuition refund, Arts Together must receive requests by April 15 2009. A 50%
summer tuition refund will be issued for requests received April 16- May 15,
2009. No money will be refunded for withdrawals requested after May 15, 2009.
