MAKEUP LESSONS

A total of ONE PRIVATE MAKE-UP LESSON will be given per semester. We request that you provide 24 hours advance notice of the missed lesson. We understand that this is unavoidable at times, and every student is entitled to one make-up private lesson per semester due to student unavailability, scheduling issues (family events, rehearsals, tech week, etc), or illness. These makeup classes may not be carried over into a subsequent semester. A makeup class which is canceled or missed by a student will be considered made-up. If make-up lessons are offered by Wiremill Academy instructors twice and refused, the lesson will be considered made-up. Lessons canceled due to inclement weather or teacher unavailability will be made up during the semester at a mutually agreed upon time, or at the end of the term. There will be no make up lessons for group classes.

CANCELLATION

There will be no classes if Wilton public schools are closed or have an early dismissal due to inclement weather.

Lessons cancelled due to inclement weather or teacher unavailability will be made up during the semester at a mutually agreed upon time, or at the end of the term. A makeup class which is canceled or missed by a student will be considered made-up.
