TUITION PAYMENT
Arts Together will NOT invoice you unless payments are ten (10) days overdue. Please submit all payments by the applicable due dates.
Monthly Payments: Payment is due in equal installments on the first of each month. If you pay by credit card, Arts Together will automatically charge your card each month. If you pay by check, please drop off your check or mail it in by the first of each month.
Semester Payments: If you registered for a full-year class, payment for the second semester is due January 2. If you pay by credit card, Arts Together will automatically charge your card in January. If paying by check, please drop it off or mail it in by January 2.
Payment in Full: You paid in full when registering. Thank you and enjoy the year!
REGISTRATION FEES: A $25 family registration fee is due with the first registration form submitted for the 2010-2011 school year. If more than one student in a family enrolls in Arts Together classes during the school year, you only pay one registration fee for the entire family, rather than for each student.

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.

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, blocks, straps, etc., please bring them with you. If you do not have your own mat or accessories, we have plenty to share!

ARTSFEST
Students enrolled in second semester dance classes take part in Artsfest, our end of the year celebration and sharing performance May 12-13, 2012. Most classes (noted on our web site with asterisks) get costumes for these special days. The $38 Artsfest fee is due February 1, 2012 and should be included with February’s payment for these classes. (If you have set up your credit card to be automatically charged, the $38 Artsfest fee will be added to your February charge.)
