WHAT TO WEAR ~ Art can be messy! Although we do provide painting aprons, be sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting paint, clay or charcoal on!
ACCIDENT POLICY~ In case of accident or illness, if a parent or guardian cannot be reached, we will take your child to the Emergency Ward of the nearest hospital, Royal Jubilee. Signing the consent form gives your authorization for emergency health services.
MAKEUP POLICY ~ If the student is unable to attend a class due to illness or conflict every attempt will be made to accommodate the student and make up the class, within one month, after the missed class. However the responsibility rests with the parent & student, and if the student is unable to make up the class within “The Paint Box” schedule, there will be no refund given.
PERMISSIONS ~ Photos and videos will be taken during art classes for promotional use. Please contact Emily Grav via email if you are not comfortable having your child’s photo or art used in print, in our social media or on our website.
ARRIVAL AND PICKUP
Be sure your student arrives 5 minutes before (no earlier please) his/her scheduled class/camp time. Please pick up your student on time. Please inform us if you know you will be late picking up your student. Instruct your student to wait inside the building and you should escort them from the studio to your car.
