Month to month, cancel anytime.
▸ Account holders are responsible for payment after the invoice has been sent, even when using outside funding.
▸ To cancel your membership, use “My Membership” on the website, or tell us in writing.
Make up missed classes, never miss your lesson.
▸ Attend any available cohort, just give us a heads up.
The lesson of the week repeats until the end of the week.
▸ Missed classes may be made up within the same week, in-person or online (online is for age 9+).
▸ If not attended by the end of the week, the lesson cannot not be made up.
▸ Students who usually come to class later in the week, should preemptively attend earlier in the week if planning to miss; meaning, if your usual cohort is Saturday, try to come in on Tuesday or Wednesday before your usual lesson!
▸ Please text us if you will be absent, or attend a different cohort - 916.245.0470.
Growth & challenge is what we came here for.
▸ Here’s a few final bonus tips, just for you <3
It’s okay to make bad drawings.
▸ Perfect drawings don’t exist, and the more you draw, the less you care about “mistakes;” quantity leads to quality.
Parents, please stay in the parent seating area during class.
▸ Fostering confidence is important to us - please give space for your child & the other students to work independently.
There will be challenges - focus on learning & having fun!
▸ ‘Struggle’ is where all the good character building & learning happens anyways.
Thanks & see ya soon~!
▸ Team Drawcademy.
