WEATHER AND DELAY/CANCELLATION POLICY
Feb. 18-22 registered families: We've sent you an email with details on our weather policy and approach for tomorrow. We are watching the weather reports closely, and our approach is always to open if we can. We make the final determination based on our ability to reach our program location safely. Safety is always first at the Squad, so, for example, if weather conditions are manageable in the morning, but predicted to become less safe in the afternoon/early evening, we will make our decision based on that. How we'll communicate the news. If we have a delayed opening or we're forced to close for the day, we'll send an email to registered families as early as possible, and we will post the same info to our website, and to our Twitter and Facebook pages (both are @UrbanAdvSquad). Cancellation policy. Our policy is that if we must close due to weather, we will offer a credit for a future program day(s). That is because we rely heavily on program fees to fund each program, from staffing to research/development to supplies. If a credit, as opposed to a refund poses a financial hardship for your family, you can let us know and we will refund your money. UAS Summer 2019 registration is OPEN!
