Additional Information

Small class size
All workshops/classes max out at 14 participants. Due to the small group size, classes and workshops will likely fill up quickly.

Waitlist
Because group sizes are small, we will create a waitlist as soon as a class/workshop reaches capacity. Once on the waitlist, you will be notified if a space opens up. If the waitlist grows large enough, we will open up an additional classes/workshops.

Age Range
If your child is out of the age range for one of our classes/workshops, but they are still interested in our program, please reach out to the school directly. No two students are alike, and occasionally the school will make exceptions for younger students who show considerable passion and focus, have previous creative writing experience, or a strong grasp of story/writing concepts, etc. Also, if there is enough interest from an older or younger group of students, an additional class/workshop may be opened. 

Class Necessities
All new students will be given a tote bag and notebook on their first day. Students will be responsible for bringing their notebooks and reading materials back and forth to their classes/workshops. Notebooks and writing utensils will be provided, but students are welcome to bring their own notebook or pens/pencils as well. (Students who prefer writing on a laptop should reach out to the school about this in advance.)

Medication
The Write Room is not able to administer medication. All medication must be taken before or after classes/workshops. If on-site medical intervention is needed, an authorized pick-up person must come to administer the medication, or we need to have an action plan signed by the child’s doctor specifying that they can self-administer medication before class begins. (All information should be included in medical forms, which will be sent out before classes/workshops begin.)

Policies

Behavior Policy
The Write Room promotes positive, inclusive behavior and reserves the right to remove students for unsafe actions, including physical aggression, discrimination, harassment, threats, bullying behavior, or substance possession. We also ask that all students familiarize themselves with our Artist’s Pledge.

Cancellations
All class cancellations will be subject to an $80 administrative fee; all workshop cancellations will be subject to an $15 administrative fee. No refunds can be provided on workshops or classes less than one month before the start date.

Workshop Transfers
All workshop transfers will be subject to a $10 fee. If transferring less than two weeks before the camp start date, the fee is $15.
