Open School Policies
Registration
Registration is done on a first come, first served basis with
pre-registration for returning students. New student registration,
beginning in March for the following Fall term, can be done by
mail or in person at the school.
All beginners are placed according to age. Students with previous
experience are placed by age and ability. As a student progresses,
more frequent classes are recommended. Class size is limited and
registrations are filled in numerical order.
Registration is complete with payment of the registration fee and
first and last month's tuition. Confirmation cards are sent out
each August confirming class day and time. Fall classes begin the
Tuesday after Labor Day.
Tuition
Tuition is based on the number of classes per month per child.
Tuition is paid in equal monthly installments which are due and
payable on the first of the month. A $15.00 late fee will be
charged on tuition received after the 10th. September and May's
tuition are due at registration. Payment is normally by cash
or check and can be paid by mail or in person.
For the convenience of our families, we are now accepting
credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover) and debit cards.
There are no refunds for classes not attended regardless of
reason. Classes missed due to illness may be made up within 4
weeks. Thirty days written noticed is required for all withdrawing
students. There is a $25 fee for returned checks. Please refer
to our Tuition Schedule for
current rates.
Attendance
Regular attendance is the most important factor in the progress
of the individual student and the class as a whole. Classes will
begin promptly and students entering class late will disturb class
and miss an important part of the lesson. Parents should deliver
and pick up their children within 10 minutes of class time.
Children will not be allowed to leave the building until their
parent has arrived to pick them up. A cover up must be worn by all
students when entering and leaving the building. Parents are allowed
to observe class during our annual Parent Watch Days in January.
Dress Code
Proper attire is a necessary part of any high quality dance
program. Students are expected to arrive properly attired with hair
pinned securely off their faces. All ballet students must wear buns.
A list of required dance wear for specific class is available at
the front desk.
Please label all dance wear and dance bags. Attire can be purchased
at Dance Fashions Superstore
at 10400-A Alpharetta Street: (770) 998-0002.
