Violations will result in dismissal from the program.
• Arrive on time for all class sessions. Each minute of each class is valuable.
• Be respectful of your instructors and fellow classmates at all times. In order to learn, we must try new
things and risk being vulnerable. Our classes are safe places to grow as artists! Disruptive and/or
disrespectful behavior is grounds for dismissal from the class. We have a zero-tolerance policy for
bullying of any kind.

• Bring a water bottle with you, as our water fountains are closed at this time. We do have a bottle
filler which you may use while at TMTO.

your friends, but we also want to make good progress! You are expected to pay attention and follow
the directions of the TMTO staff at all times. Cell phones must be turned off and put away during
class.
• Classes will not be open for parents to watch, unless otherwise specified by the Instructor. Thank you
in advance for understanding.
• Refunds will only be offered if the class must be canceled due to lack of registrants. Makeup classes
