in the event of sickness or tragedy, if Stevi is notified the day of absence.

for any reason, if Stevi is notified 24 hours before absence.
Late-notice cancellations and no-shows cannot be made up.​
​
A make-up lesson must be requested & completed within 3 months of the absence. If a make-up is missed for any reason, the lesson is forfeited.​ If Stevi is unable to teach, she will choose to schedule a make-up or issue reimbursement.​
​Tuition, Fees & Materials
​

Tuition includes materials.
-
Tuition is due the 26th of each month.

A $10 late tuition fee applies when returning clients miss the tuition due date.
-
A $10 late pickup fee also applies if a student is picked up more than 15 minutes late.
-
First-time clients are required to pay tuition at least three days before their first lesson.

Monday attendees pay a Monday rate because less Mondays are offered compared to all other days.
Drop-Off & Pickup
​
Parents & caregivers may not be in the studio during lessons, but are welcome to remain close by in the Odd Shop. For safety, the Artnook strongly encourages parents to attend to their children during arrival and departure from the studio. Children may only meet their ride outside for pickup if a parent notifies Stevi by text and confirms that the child has been received. Please do not drop off children more than 5 minutes before the lesson.
