All make-ups must be completed within a 30 day period after the excused absence. No refunds are given for missed lessons.

Student Sign-in

Substitutions

The school reserves the right to provide a substitute teacher if the regularly scheduled teacher is ill or otherwise unable to attend a lesson. If a teacher is ill and the school cannot arrange a substitute any missed lessons will be made up.

Care of Students

The school is not responsible for providing before or after class care for students. Parents with students under the age of 6 are asked to remain in the waiting room during the lessons. Students are not to be left at the school for excessive time before or after lessons. Those individuals who are in waiting room must be quiet and no children are to be left in room unaccompanied by an adult.

Parents are Responsible for Being Aware of Dates and Events

It is the responsibility of the parent or adult student to be aware of school activities such as recitals and dates the school is open and closed. The school will post notices on the music bulletin board as well as emailing newsletters. It is the parent’s responsibility to regularly check these boards to ensure they are informed. If students wish to participate in music festivals or exams, it is the parent or adult student’s responsibility to be aware of all exam or festival dates and deadlines. It is the parent or adult student’s responsibility to take care of all fees with these organizations directly. It is also the responsibility of the parent or adult student to inform the school of any address or telephone number change.

Emergency Contact and Release Form

Parent, legal guardian of minor students or adult student is required to complete the emergency-release form before a student may participate in class. We recommend going to the website to set up your student portal to complete this information.
