Attendance and Make-up Lesson Policy
Students are expected to attend all scheduled lessons and classes. Teachers are not obligated to make up lessons resulting from student cancellations and there will be no adjustment in tuition. Instructors are expected to make up lessons cancelled by them. See the Community Arts Program calendar for dates of holidays, vacations, and make-up lesson weeks. In case of school closure or teacher absence for any reason, a make-up lesson will be arranged. Public school closures do not automatically mean cancellation of Community Arts Program lessons/classes! Please call your teacher to confirm or talk to your class instructor regarding their policy on cancellations.
Minimum Enrollment
Minimum enrollment is required for all group classes. In case of cancellation of any class due to low enrollment, all students already enrolled will be notified immediately.
Notes to Parents (Please Read!)
Although the Creative Arts Center is a safe environment, parents are advised to accompany young children to and from their classes/lessons and to not leave them unattended for any length of time. Teachers cannot be expected to be responsible for waiting around after classes to keep watch on young children.
Please be sure to keep in touch regularly with your teachers concerning lesson times. If you are not sure about a lesson time, please contact your teacher to make sure there has not been a misunderstanding. Communication is the key to preventing and solving problems before they turn into larger issues.
Please be aware that our faculty have extremely busy schedules like you do. When you register for lessons, you have made a commitment, as our teachers have, to show up each week for the lesson/class. As much as we sympathize with your busy schedule and daily issues that come up in your lives, our teachers are not obligated to make up lessons unless they themselves have cancelled. Please also be advised that no adjustments in tuition will be given for cancellations. Thank you for your understanding.
The WVU College of Creative Arts is home to many wonderful high quality art events year round which include art exhibits, theatre productions, dance and music recitals/concerts, workshops, masterclasses, guest artists/lecturers, University Art Series events and much, much more. There is no better education in the arts than for you and your family to come and experience them in person. Many of the events are free of charge.
The Center for Excellence in Disabilities at WVU has funding available to sponsor children with disabilities who are interested in participating in classes, who also meet the age and eligibility requirements for the Community Arts Program. For more information, please contact: Helen Panzironi, Fine Arts Coordinator at 304 293 4692 x1154, hpanzironi@hsc.wvu.edu
