Our policy requires us to insure every student. An annual insurance charge of $40 is due for each student. This is a secondary insurance policy with a $100 deductible. This is required so that every student is covered by the gym's insurance. Insurance is not transferable. (Littlebug classes have the insurance fee included in their monthly tuition.)
Make Up Policies
Any student will be allowed to make up to a maximum of two (2) missed classes per Term for each class a student is enrolled in per week. The class has to be missed first in order schedule a make up. Make up classes need to be scheduled with the SFG Office at least 24 hours in advance. Once scheduled, all make ups are recorded and counted, unless cancelled 24 hours prior to the start of the scheduled make up. Classes must be made up in the same term as the absence.

Refunds
SFG offers no refunds unless a class is cancelled due to under enrollment. In the case of cancellation, students may transfer to another appropriate class. If your schedule doesn't permit a transfer from a cancelled class, you may request a refund from the front office. When you register for a class, it is yours for the term; it is not possible to substitute siblings or friends in place of a registered student.
Credit for the balance of tuition fees is occasionally issued (less a $25.00 processing fee) if a child is having difficulty adjusting to a class (and has made an effort to participate for at least 2-3 classes), or is suffering from an extended illness or injury. We do not offer credit if a class needs to be dropped due to a change in a child's or parent's schedule.
Camp Refund: If you notify us that you need to drop from a Camp week prior to two weeks before the start date, we will refund your tuition minus a $25 processing fee. No Refunds if you are within two weeks of the first day of camp.
