REVISED ATTENDANCE POLICY

Parents must accompany their children to lessons and classes until they are 18 years old.

Students should strive to attend each week’s lesson. Absences for illness, snow days, or bereavement are acceptable. For best results, the student should attend 90-100% of the scheduled lessons. If at any time a student's attendance falls below 80% the student is placed on academic probation. Failure to rectify this before the end of the semester will result in dismissal and the student will not be allowed to study at the studio for one year. Please let the teacher know ASAP if you cannot attend your lesson. 24 hour notice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

NO SHOWS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Please call or email in the event of an absence.
