Got Summer Plans?Summer is quickly approaching and we know that some people choose to take some time off during the summer. So, we wanted to remind you of what your options are for this. Problem: Jane's son, John, takes drum lessons at 4:00 Wednesdays. This works perfect with their schedule because John is involved in Baseball, Boy Scouts and Football. Wednesday is the only day that the other activities don't meet. If they give up their spot for the summer, they probably won't be able to get that spot back when school starts back. Solution # 1: Make-up Classes. (Recommended) Jane lets the drum instructor know that they want to take a break in June to go on vacation and relax. The drum instructor keeps them in their 4:00 Wednesday time slot and just gives them 4 make-up credits so that they can take those classes at their convenience, even before summer begins! Solution # 2: Withdrawal. If you choose to withdraw, you must let us know by the 15th day of your last month you are attending. For example, if you wish to withdraw for June, you will need to fill out a Withdrawal Form by May 15th. If you do not let us know by the 15th, you will be charged for the next month and will be expected to attend. However, if you choose to withdraw, you will forfeit your time slot and it will most likely be filled when you return. We are signing up new students every week, and several of our teachers have no availability or very limited availability left. You will also have to pay the $30.00 registration fee to get back on the schedule when you return. Keep in mind, though, that we offer make-up classes. If you do not want to give up your spot, but do want to take some time off for summer, you can just make those classes up at your convenience.
