  • Make-up bookings will be subject to class availability and will only be redeemable in your child’s current level. 

  • If you are unable to use the make-up token prior to the expiration date you will not be eligible for a credit or refund. 

  • Failure to submit absence before the 1 hour grace period will result in no make-up token.
