WHAT IS A FLEX DATE? Our Series Course schedules list a "Flex Date" in addition to the regular class dates. This is a date we have set aside to allow for changes in the instructor's personal circumstances, illness, weather emergencies, etc. We ask that you hold the flex date open on your calendar until we are sure it will not be needed to make up a rescheduled class.

IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE: If you need to miss a few classes in a series it is not a problem. We offer excused absences that allow you to make-up a class in another run of the series.
