As the school’s director, I do expect all participants to conduct themselves properly at all times.  Poor deportment hinders the learning process for everyone.  All participants are enrolled to learn and have fun.  Those who do not comply with the rules that will be announced on the first morning of school will be dismissed and sent home immediately. Participants will be financially responsible for any damages that may occur.
