Attendance/Communication
Parents must have an active email account checked on a semi-daily basis. This will be
our main form of communication so I may coordinate a large number of students.
Progress reports and invoices will all be sent via email
Of course phone calls are always welcome as I will use this too.
I do not give refunds for lessons. If you have paid for a block of lessons, then that is my
time you have reserved. Also, the money you pay goes to bills, gas, and food for my
family.
If you have an excused absence, I will do everything in my power to reschedule that
lesson time. Remember, this is another chunk of time that you are asking for and I may
not always be able to make this work due to a busy home and work schedule.
Excused absences are emergencies or events that are communicated with as much
notice as possible and sufficient documentation like a doctor’s or mechanic’s note.
Unexcused absences will not be rescheduled. If you’d like to pay for another lesson
that week so the student does not fall behind, I will do my best to fit one in.
Lack of payment without telephone communication is grounds for termination.
If your family decides to stop lessons, paid lessons must be taken or lost.
Payment
Each lesson is a district mandated $18 per lesson. This is $1 higher than last year but the cost
of lessons has not been increased in well over 7 years.
Students may pay tuition either per semester or month
Numbers below are examples. Exact amounts and dates will appear on the student’s email
invoice.
Per Semester(example)
The entire amount is due at the student’s 1st lesson of the semester
