We may use analytics services that use cookies, javascript and similar technologies to help us analyze how users use the Service. The information generated by these services about your use of the Service (including your IP address or a truncated version of your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by analytics service providers on their servers.

Behavior Policy

Our behavior standards are high, but in no way unreasonable. We are teachers and we know kids come with all kinds of personalities. Kids are kids. We love them and we are patient. That being said, we want EVERYONE to have an enjoyable class experience, so if one student is affecting the ability of the teacher to teach or the other students to learn, this is probably not the best environment for that student.

We request that parents are proactive. Help us set your nerd up for success by letting us know about behavior struggles in advance via the registration form and/or by contacting us directly.

Behavior Management Protocol:

  1. Friendly reminders and redirection, of course! We will do everything we can to support all nerds!
  2. If the student’s behavior isn’t corrected or they are causing a problem for the class, they may be moved to our office to cool down.
  3. The teacher or director will talk with the parent at pick up or on the phone and together we will make a plan to move forward.
  4. If the behavior is not corrected the next day, the student may be removed from the rest of the class.
  5. Disrespect or unsafe behaviors are cause for immediate removal from class.

Personal Conduct Expectations

Students enrolled in Nerding Classes must be able to be successful in a classroom setting. They will be expected to listen and participate appropriately and respectfully during lessons and instruction. They will be expected to work on projects both independently and with groups in a safe, kind, and respectful manner.

If a nerd is disrupting the class, creating an unsafe condition, or displays a disrespectful demeanor to teachers or peers, the nerd may be suspended or removed from class. Refunds are not issued for suspension or removal due to behavior.

Summer Class Withdrawals and Refunds:

  • Full refunds minus $10 per class are issued if withdrawn more than 2 weeks before class starts.
  • No refunds will be issued within 2 weeks of start date.
  • In the event a class is cancelled due to low enrollment, full refunds are issued.
  • If a student is suspended or expelled from any program no refund is issued.
