The following information is intended to answer some of the questions you may have about tuition, absences, attire, and holidays. Please note the important dates at the bottom of the page. Please contact us with any additional questions.
Policies
Registration/Tuition:
Registration fee for Fall Session is $40 for 1-2 students per family and $10 for each additional student. Tuition for dance, gymnastics, and ninja warrior classes starts at $60 a month for one class. We offer active duty, military, multi-class, and sibling discounts. Monthly tuition is calculated by the total number of class hours and qualifying discounts. Please contact Miss Libbys to speak with someone from our office staff about specific information regarding tuition for your family.
Account Statements:
Monthly statements will be sent via email to accounts with an existing balance. In the event an account becomes 30 days past due, the balance will be charged to any credit card on file if the primary card cannot be processed. Printed or email statements are always available upon request. You can also choose to set your account for monthly automatic drafts on the 1st or the 15th of each month. For your convenience, you may prepay your annual tuition, plus fees, and receive the equivalent of one month’s tuition free.
Inclement Weather:
We do not make up or pro-rate tuition for days missed due to inclement weather. We will notify you of any weather-related closings via email and social media.
Absences / Make-Up Classes:
Attendance is imperative! Absences and tardiness can have a negative effect on the entire class. Classes missed for illness, family emergency, etc. may be made up in an age-appropriate class within 30 days of the absence; It is the responsibility of the parent to notify the office 24 hours prior to a make-up class. Advance notice is required to allow our staff to find a comparable make-up class and make sure that class is not at maximum capacity. No make up classes will be scheduled during the first month of Fall session. Each student will be permitted a maximum of 4 make up classes per Fall session and 2 per Summer session. Per policy, there will be no refunds issued for additional missed classes.
Perfect Attendance certificates are awarded only for attendance in your regularly scheduled class. Make-up classes do not count towards a student’s perfect attendance. We do not hold make up classes for classes missed due to national holidays.
