30 PARK & CLASS POLICIES CLASS POLICIES All classes are minutes in length unless otherwise noted. Classes and instructors are subject to change. We do not like to cancel any classes however, because each class is self-supporting, we must establish a minimum enrollment (5) and cancel those classes that do not meet this minimum. Please remember to register early to avoid cancellations. Space is limited. Class enrollment is based on first-come, first-serve basis. All classes must be taken within the specified session period. Programs will not be pro-rated due to late registrations. Class rates reflect missed classes due to Holidays, Teacher Planning Days (classes scheduled after 6pm will not be affected), and Special Activities. Please see program descriptions for the dates when classes will not be offered. To ensure that children remain focused and classes are not interrupted, parents are not permitted in the rooms while classes are in session. Parents need to drop off their children 5 minutes before each class and be ready for pick-up 5 minutes after the class to ensure that classes begin promptly and minimize interruptions. RAINY DAY POLICY Classes that take place indoors, will not be cancelled on rainy days. If there is threat of a tropical storm or hurricane, please call Morgan Levy Park for the latest information regarding closing of parks and cancellation of programs.
