Cancellations and Postponements:	If Rochester Community School buildings are closed due to weather or other emergency conditions, Rochester Community Services Enrichment classes are also cancelled. Whenever possible, cancelled classes will be made up; if make-up dates are arranged no refunds will be given. Students in the Rochester School District have priority in the use of school buildings for school functions. On occasion, classes might be relocated or suspended for a night because of building activities; we will give advance notice when possible. If group swim lessons can not be made up, open swim passes will be issued.
