*Classes WILL be held during teacher in-service and parent/teacher conference days.

*During inclement weather, the studio will follow the Fayetteville Public School closings - make-up classes will not be given in this case.

*Tuition will be the same every month even if classes are missed.  Holidays and inclement weather were taken into consideration when tuition rates were set.

Tuition is due on the first of each month.  Those accounts unpaid as of the 10th of the month will be charged automatically along with an additional $5.00 late fee.  Tuition is full price September through May.

Regular attendance is required.  Students must arrive to class on time.  Students should attend each class for maximum benefit and progress as they can easily fall behind by missing.  If a student must miss a class, he or she may make up the absence in a similar class.  Please discuss this with the student’s teacher or the director.

Classes at which 4 students or less are in attendance will be treated as a semi-private lesson; they will run for 45 min.
