How many classes are there in each session?
Each school has its own session duration. Some schools run monthly sessions (3, 4, or 5 classes--depending on holidays); others have 6-10 classes per session.

How does the GYMSTERS teacher leave a message for me?

Do I need to re-enroll for each session?
GYMSTERS is an ongoing year-around program. Your child is automatically re-enrolled for successive sessions unless you provide intent to cancel notification.
How do I cancel?
After attending at least one (1) enrolled (paid for) class, notification of intent to cancel is required two (2) weeks prior to the first class of an upcoming session. This protects your child.

Place a written notification of intent to cancel in the GYMSTERS envelope at the school.
