PVTC POLICIES

REFUND AND TUITION

TUITION

Payment is due at the time of registration. Tuition can be processed by credit card, ACH, check, or cash.

REFUNDS

$25 is non-refundable after registration. There are no refunds after the first week of class. Please see summer camp registration for detailed information about our summer camp refund policy.

Late Registration

If you would like to register after the first day of a class, you may do so up until the second class meeting. After the second class meeting, we may not be able add additional students as the script has already been developed, casting has taken place, etc. We do not pro-rate classes that are added late.

Health & Safety Policy

While consistent attendance is key to a great rehearsal process, the health and safety of our community is our top priority.

When to Stay Home

Please notify Portola Valley Theatre Conservatory and stay home if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

Fever of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher
Chills, muscle/body aches
Persistent, productive cough
Green or yellow nasal discharge
Wheezing/undiagnosed trouble breathing
Severe nausea
Vomiting/diarrhea
A positive test for a contagious illness (e.g., Flu, COVID-19, Strep)

Returning to PVTC

You may return to class, camp, and/or rehearsals when you have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication, any vomiting and/or diarrhea have subsided, your symptoms are improving, and you feel well enough to participate.

Managing Lingering Symptoms

Because participation in PVTC programs often involves close contact and singing, please consider wearing a mask indoors until your symptoms fully subside.

Mental Health & Well-Being

Your mental health is just as important to us as your physical health.

Communication with Parents/Guardians: If we are informed that a student under the age of 18 is navigating mental health challenges, PVTC’s policy is to contact their parent/ guardian. If a student is over the age of 18 but still participating in PVTC educational programming (for example, high school camp), our policy is to contact both the student and their emergency contact. Our goal is always to collaborate to support students while participating in PVTC programs.
Participation & Safety: We will make every effort to support a student’s ongoing participation in our programming through mental health challenges. However, PVTC reserves the right to ask a student to step back if, in conversation with parents/guardians, we determine we cannot adequately guarantee their safety or the safety of others.

Gift Acceptance Policy

PVTC is unable to accept any donated items at this time, including donations of new or used costumes, props, or set pieces. We suggest Savers in Redwood City as a destination for your used items.
