Parent Agreement

Welcome to Little Feather Chinese School. Our goal is to provide a positive, engaging, and supportive learning environment where students develop Mandarin language skills, cultural awareness, communication skills, and personal growth. To help ensure a successful experience for all students and families, please review the following policies and expectations.

1. Enrollment and Registration

Enrollment is completed through the school’s registration process and is subject to available space.

Student placement is determined based on age, language background, and proficiency level to ensure appropriate instruction and classroom engagement.

The school reserves the right to adjust class placement when necessary to support student learning and program effectiveness.

2. Tuition Policy

Tuition is charged on a semester basis and reserves a student’s place in the program for the entire semester.

Tuition covers instructional costs, curriculum development, classroom materials, facility expenses, and program operations. Tuition is not calculated on a per-class basis.

3. Refund Policy

Little Feather offers one complimentary trial class for new students.

Families may attend the first class to determine whether the program is a good fit for their child before completing enrollment.

Once enrollment is finalized and tuition has been paid, tuition and fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

No refunds, credits, or prorated tuition will be provided for:

  • missed classes
  • vacations
  • illnesses
  • schedule conflicts
  • voluntary withdrawal
  • dismissal due to violation of school policies


Because the school commits classroom space, instructional resources, and staffing based on enrollment commitments, tuition cannot be refunded after enrollment has been finalized.

    4. Attendance Policy

    Regular attendance is important for student progress and classroom continuity.

    Parents are encouraged to notify the school if a student will be absent.

    Missed classes are not eligible for refunds, credits, or make-up classes unless otherwise determined by the school.

    Students who miss multiple classes may require additional support to remain on pace with classroom instruction.

    5. Student Conduct Policy

    Little Feather strives to maintain a safe, respectful, and supportive learning environment.

    Students are expected to:

    • treat teachers, classmates, volunteers, and school property with respect
    • follow classroom expectations and teacher directions
    • participate appropriately in learning activities
    • contribute positively to the school community


    Examples of unacceptable behavior include:

    • bullying or harassment
    • repeated disruption of instruction
    • inappropriate language or conduct
    • refusal to follow reasonable teacher directions
    • behavior that compromises the safety or learning of others


    The school will work with families to address behavioral concerns. If a student’s behavior continues to significantly disrupt the learning environment, the school reserves the right to suspend or remove the student from the program. Tuition will not be refunded in such cases.

    6. Parent Partnership

    Little Feather believes that parents are important partners in their child’s education.

    Parents are encouraged to:

    • support regular attendance
    • communicate concerns respectfully and promptly
    • reinforce learning at home
    • participate in performances, cultural events, and school activities when possible


    Strong collaboration between families and teachers helps support student success and community building.

    7. Photo and Media Release

    With parental permission, photographs and videos may be used for:

    • school website

    • social media platforms
    • promotional and marketing materials


    Parents may opt out of photo and video usage during the registration process.

    8. Liability Waiver

    By enrolling their child in Little Feather Chinese School, parents acknowledge and accept these risks and agree to release and hold harmless Little Feather Chinese School, its directors, teachers, volunteers, and affiliated facilities from liability for injuries, losses, or damages arising from participation in school activities, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

    Parents are responsible for providing accurate emergency contact information and informing the school of any relevant medical conditions, allergies, or special needs.

    9. Policy Updates

    The school reserves the right to modify policies and procedures as needed to support student learning, safety, and program operations.

    Families will be notified of any significant policy changes.
