Make-Up Lessons & Credits

​

• Up to 3 excused cancellations per academic year are eligible for a make-up lesson (within the same month) or lesson credit toward the following month.

• If a student cannot attend the scheduled make-up lesson, it is forfeited.

• After 3 excused cancellations, additional cancellations are forfeited without make-up or credit.

• If the teacher cancels, a make-up or credit will always be provided.

 

Tardiness

​

• If a student arrives late, the lesson continues for the remaining time (no guaranteed extension).

School-Related Dates

​

• Lessons continue as scheduled on half days, conference days, and other modified school schedules unless canceled or rescheduled by the teacher.
