MISSED LESSON POLICY 
Students are offered two make-ups per semester. Make-ups take place on the designated make-up Saturday/Thursday dates for the semester. In the past I have offered time changes if I have a cancellation opening. But due to a need for greater time management and organization I am no longer able to accommodate time change requests. Thanks for your understanding!

MAKE-UP DATES
If you miss a lesson during the quarter you will receive a sign up email two weeks before the scheduled make-up days.
First quarter make-ups: Thurs, Oct 17 (4:00 - 6:00 PM) & Sat, Oct 19 (10:00 AM- 1:00 PM)
