Policies

Refunds, Cancellations, & Attendance

While we understand the complicated scheduling demands of family life, as a small, teacher-owned business, we cannot offer any refunds for cancellations or unused workshop reservations for any reason. As a accommodation to families, our reservations are fully transferable until the start time of the first day of the workshop– please feel free to find another rising 6th grader to take (or purchase) your child’s spot from you and we will be happy to adjust the name on the reservation. You may also let us know if you would like for your vacated reservation to be donated to fund a scholarship.  As we anticipate full enrollment, it is unlikely that we will be able to transfer reservations between workshop sessions.

​

Please plan to have your child attend all three days of the workshop. Partial attendance is strongly discouraged. ​​​

Participant Guidelines

Ready Set Middle School is an inclusive enterprise; we welcome students who are LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and from all backgrounds. Students will not be grouped by gender.  Preferred names and prounouns will be used. Bullying and bigotry will not be tolerated.

We believe in providing kids with a screen-free, real-world experience with peers.  Use of phones, smart watches, gaming consoles, or other devices is strictly prohibited during the workshop, including during breaks.   

Our program is high-energy, indoor-outdoor, and interactive. As you decide whether the workshop is a good fit for your child’s, please know that we rely on each participant’s ability and willingness to:

​​

• Maintain peaceful and respectful relations with peers and adults

• Engage cooperatively with activities, including non-preferred activities

• Remain on-site without physical restrictions in place

• Transition between activities with minimal prompting, including indoor/outdoor transitions

• Use coping skills to self-regulate behavior and handle emotions

• Refrain entirely from non-emergency use of phones, watches, and other devices

• Tend to non-emergency health and medical needs independently

​

If aspects of the program or setting aren’t the right fit for your child, please reach out to discuss options, including the possibility of a one-on-one or smaller group session with a parent or appropriate support person present.
