Summer Policies

There are no refunds or credits for summer classes, lessons or programs except in the event that the School changes the status of a program from in-person to online.

If we do not select you for a program which requires screening or audition, we will refund your tuition (minus any registration fee).

The School reserves the right to cancel a class or program due to under-enrollment, in which case you will receive a full refund for the class or program that is cancelled.

We are unable to make up or credit student absences for any summer program – group class or private lesson.

If the School cancels a class due to teacher sickness, we will either arrange for a substitute teacher or a make-up will be provided at the end of the program session.  If an outside class or lesson is cancelled due to inclement weather, an inside or remote option will be provided.  Any teacher absences for private lessons will be made-up at a time that is mutually convenient.  When registering, please check that we have your primary phone number. This allows us to contact you quickly in the event of a last minute sick/weather cancellation.

As long as COVID-19 remains a public health concern, we will require anyone who might visit or participate in an in-person class to sign a release of liability.  We are not currently providing waiting spaces but will review options as we move into the summer session. We encourage families to consider a close-by park visit if you are not expected to attend your child’s scheduled activity.

For Parents of students under age 18: Understanding that the facilities used for Pakachoag programs are accessible to the general public, when you submit your registration, you are confirming that you are — or your designated caregiver is — responsible to wait with your child/ren until your child’s or children’s assigned teacher is ready for the student to enter their scheduled class or lesson.

Students who drive themselves for lessons or classes are assumed to be the designated adult.

We also require that you, as parent, or your designated caregiver be available promptly at the conclusion of the lesson or class to pick up your child and that you, as parent, or the designated caregiver, not school or facility staff or teachers, are/is responsible for your child or children’s safety and actions at all times prior to and immediately following a scheduled lesson or class.

We offer priority registration, upon request, to summer families choosing to re-enroll for the Fall session for a similar program or class. Please inquire with the office for more information regarding pre-registration options. This may be particularly valuable for students taking private lessons, where teacher schedules sometimes fill in advance of September, based upon Spring semester continuing student registration.
