ATTENDANCE & CANCELLATION POLICIES

Since most classes have a final performance, and all students 
are important to the final product, students should attend every day. If you cannot attend, please notify us by email or phone that you will be absent.

Class cancellation because of weather or teacher illness/emergency will be posted on the Weathervane’s Facebook page, no later then one hour before the scheduled start of class. In the case of weather or other emergency, WYART will do everything in our power to schedule a make up class.

STUDENT SIGN-IN POLICY

All students must sign in or out with Instructor or Instructors assistant upon arrival and after each class when they depart for the day. If student is unsure who is picking them up they will be asked to bring the parent in to sign them out.

Please Note: For the safety of our students in Pre K-5th Grade, students must be escorted to the classroom each day of the session. Please do not drop your child off in the parking lot.

EARLY DROP OFF – LATE PICK UP

PICKING UP EARLY: If you need to pick up your student before the end of the class, advance notice by email is required. Please park in the lot and come in to the theater or classroom.
PICKING UP LATE: Please pick your child up on time. Parents arriving more than 15 after the end of class, will be charged $10 per 15 minutes late. Example, class lasts from 4-5 p.m. If your child is picked up between 5:15 and 5:30 = $10, 5:30-5:45 = $20 and so on.
