Tumbleweeds Art Group

Policies and Rules:

Payments

Payments are made monthly. You will be invoiced at the beginning of each month and expected to pay for the month ahead of the classes. Tumbleweeds accepts cash, checks, Venmo, and Zelle. There will be a $15 fee/week for any late payments if they become consistently late.

Joining an art group means you are committing to the whole semester. The tuition for the whole semester is to be paid. Signing this agreement means you are aware of the cost of joining classes and the total balance. There are no reimbursements, deductions, or omissions made for absences, missed classes, or withdrawal for any reason. There will be a $50 fee owed for any returned or bounced checks.

Tumbleweeds Art Group follows the NYC Department of Education’s School Calendar, on which class days and payment information will be based. We will conform to the CDC, state, and city guidelines on public safety and will cautiously run all classes as long as small businesses are allowed to continue operating. Classes will run weekly unless the class falls on a Holiday.

The Fall/Winter 2024/2025 semester will run from September 10th, 2024 - January 30th, 2025

The Winter/Spring 2025 semester will run from February 4th - June 12th, 2025

Health

If a child shows signs of illness (fever, wet cough, runny nose, cold, lice, etc.) please notify Tumbleweeds Art Group and kindly keep them home from class.

We are taking health concerns and precautions incredibly seriously due to COVID-19. Please remember to respect the teacher and other students and do not send your child to class if they are not feeling well even when a fever is not present. We cannot take any risks. If a child shows signs of illness
during class, they will need to immediately be sent home. If your child did not attend school or other programs that day due to health concerns please kindly keep them home from Tumbleweeds as well.

On the occasion the teacher becomes sick and needs to cancel class we will first try to figure out a make-up class option and if that is not possible for the majority then refunds will be made.

Missed Classes –

If your child needs to miss a class for any reason, the class is non-refundable.

Drop off & Pick up

Drop-off for the after-school classes is from 3:00-3:30. Please be aware we sometimes have morning sessions so drop-off before 2:45 is not an option at this time. If you and your child are early please respect that there is either a class in session or the teacher is prepping & preparing the space for the kids. Kindly wait to knock on the door until 3:00 at the earliest - there are seats in the hall if you’d like to wait there. It’s important we have time to make the studio ready and safe for the kids to have class.

The after-school art class ends at 5:30 PM unless special arrangements were made otherwise. Please also be aware Tumbleweeds often has evening lessons with older students so please try not to be late for pick-up, as we need time to clean and prepare the space for the next group.

No child will be released at pick up to anyone who is not listed on the registration form. If someone new will be picking your child up please inform Hayley from Tumbleweeds Art group with all the necessary details and please also inform your child of the new plan for pick-up time.

Projects

Projects usually take 2-3 classes to complete. They will go home with your child when completed.

Snack

Please provide a snack and drink for your child for class if you feel necessary. Tumbleweeds Art Group is not responsible for providing refreshments.
