The following policies are necessary because our teachers' time is valuable and because the occupancy of the rooms is in demand.

Excused Absence: We request that students give 24 hours notice when canceling a lesson.  At the very minimum, please give 6 hours notice.  This will be considered an excused absence.  We will try our best to schedule a make-up lesson, though it is not guaranteed.  The following policies apply to make-up lessons:

• Excused absences do not earn a credit for the following month
• The ability to schedule a make-up expires 4 weeks after the missed lesson
• Make-up lessons can only be scheduled for existing paying students.  They may not be scheduled after a student discontinues lessons, and cannot be transferred to siblings or other students
• Once a make-up lesson is scheduled it cannot be rescheduled

Unexcused Absence:  If we receive less than a 6 hour notice for a cancellation, the absence is considered unexcused.  No make-up lesson will be given and the lesson is forfeited.  This is required in order to help the teachers keep accurate records of their schedules.  Should a student miss two or more consecutive weeks without notification, their spot will be opened to other students.
