Missed Lessons Policy

Each student is limited to one make up lesson per semester.

· Make-up lessons are not cumulative, i.e. if you don't use your make-up the first semester, you can't have two at the end of the second semester.

· 24 hours notice of a cancellation is required.

· There are no refunds and no credits for missed lessons.

· I will not make up multiple lessons missed for play rehearsals, talent shows, sports practice, games, travel, etc.

· Make-up lessons will be given only at times and dates within the teacher’s normal teaching schedule. The lesson is considered to have been given if the student misses the scheduled make-up lesson for ANY reason. There are no refunds for missed lessons.

· When a conflict is unavoidable, you may be able to trade your lesson with another student during the week. If you are not interested in this program please let me know and I will make sure your information is not included the Lesson Trading Program. You are responsible for "making the trade” and notifying Alys of the trade.

At the Studio

Parking

· If there is a car in the driveway, please park your car at the top of the cul-de-sac.

· Please keep the approach to ALL mailboxes clear.

· Only 1 car, associated with private lessons, is allowed on the premises at a time.

· If you arrive early please wait in your car at the top of the cul-de-sac. I am only allowed one student on the property at a time.

· Please wait until the student taking a lesson before you exits, then you may drop your child off, or park in the driveway and come in.

· If you approach the house and realize a lesson is in session, please wait patiently outside. I will make every effort to begin and end lessons on time.

Please do not open the door, knock or ring the doorbell when a lesson is in progress.

Please do not bring any food or drink.

During your child’s lesson:

· You are more than welcome to wait in the designated waiting area. Because I am teaching from home, I have limited space to provide a

waiting room.

· Out of respect for others living in the house, I cannot offer my living room or dining room as a waiting area.

· If you do choose to park and come inside, please park your car in the driveway or at the top of the cul-de-sac.

For parents who wait inside during their child’s lesson:

· Zoning laws will not allow more then 2 people to wait inside at one time.

· If a sibling is present in the waiting area, they must remain quiet during the lesson time. If there is too much noise or distraction I will ask that you wait outside.

In-Home Lesson Etiquette

· All lessons begin and end on-time.

· Please address any questions or concerns at the beginning of the lesson. I cannot be late for my next appointment. You will receive the same courtesy from the student taking a lesson before you!

· If there is a topic of discussion needing more than 5 minutes of attention please call me anytime. If I am unable to answer, please leave a message, I will call you back and you will have my undivided attention.

· All telephone ringers, TV’s, computers, video games etc that are within hearing distance of the lesson location MUST be turned off or muted during the lesson. I will not compete for your child’s 100% focus and attention.

The above policies are put into play to assure a very smooth operation and to see that everyone is treated fairly and respectfully. If you have any questions, please contact me for further discussion.
