Attendance, Absenteeism and Withdrawal Policy  
Absenteeism prevents a performer and his/her class from performing at their highest level. If the instructor considers absences to be excessive, a student may be excluded from performances.  Dress rehearsals for recital performances are mandatory. Generally speaking, each recital will require one dress rehearsal.  No refunds or account credits will be given by CA for missed classes. Withdrawals are permitted only with a thirty day notice and payment of any tuition due during that period.   

Class Cancellations  
If classes must be cancelled due to extenuating circumstances notice will be given via email to the addresses on file and notice will be posted on CA’s Facebook page. Any cancelled classes will be re-scheduled as soon as practical.  

Injuries  
Parents, legal guardians of minors, students and adult students waive the right to any legal action for any injury resulting from class activity or any other activity conducted by the students before, during or after class. Parents alone are responsible for maintaining adequate insurance coverage to protect against losses as a result of any injury. 

Conduct  
Any conduct by child or parent that is considered in the sole discretion of the Directors to be be unbecoming, such as disrespectful communication and not adhering to the policies of CA and/or the host facility will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from the program. Students under the age of 13 must be under direct adult supervision at all times. At no time may children be permitted to wander the facility or grounds unsupervised. Any violation of this policy may result in dismissal from the program. Damage to property caused by failure to properly supervise a child will be the parent’s financial responsibility. 

Care of Students  
CA, its staff and instructors, and Virtue Church and its employees are not responsible for providing care before or after class to the students.  Late pickups could result in fees at a rate of $10 for each fifteen minute increment or any portion thereof. Please contact your instructor if you will be late to pick up your child. Note: Parents are not permitted to sit-in on classes.

Promotional Use of Images  
From time to time, CA, or its delegates, may photograph or video/audio record lessons and/or recitals. Your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions grants CA permission to use any such image or recording of your child for any legitimate promotional purpose. 

Acceptance of Complete Terms and Conditions
By registering your child for CA, you are deemed to have accepted these Terms and Conditions.
