School Closings and Calendar We follow the Cherokee County School District schedule for all weeklong breaks. We are open during all teacher workdays, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and President's Day. We also follow Cherokee County School District for any weather related closings or early dismissals to ensure the safety of our student and their families, and to avoid any last minute confusion.

Spring Recital Our Spring Recital will be held at the end of May. Participation is encouraged, but not mandatory. We do not charge a recital fee, but parents will need to purchase tickets (ticket prices last year were $8). A non-refundable costume fee is required for year-long dance students and is due with November tuition. Child size costumes are $50 and XL Child and Adult size costumes are $60. Music or dance students joining after December may not be eligible to participate in the current year's Spring Recital. Guitar, voice, and violin students may be placed in small groups for the Spring Recital. I've read the spring recital information and I agree.
Make ups for dance classes If you miss a lesson in the Fall semester (Aug-May) you may come to any other like class if there is one available. Please check with your instructor for an appropriate make up class in the spring semester (January-May) as classes will be preparing their recital dances and it may not be beneficial to attend a class working on a different recital dance. Make ups for Music Students Music students may only make up two excused absences per semester (Fall: August-December, Spring: January-May). Proper notification (calling or emailing the office on or before noon on the lesson day) is needed to make up any missed lesson. Missed lessons without proper notification or that exceed two per semester will not be made up and the tuition for that lesson is forfeited. Our instructors depend on their earnings from lessons for their livelihood and these policies are put into place to respect their time. If you arrive late for a lesson, the teacher is only obligated to give instruction for the remaining time left as they may have lessons scheduled with another student immediately after. I've read the make ups policy and I agree.
Withdrawal If you need to withdraw for any reason after the school year begins, you are required to give 4 weeks written notice prior to the date of withdrawal. Tuition is due during those 4 weeks. Billing will continue until written notice is received. I've read the withdrawal policy and I agree.

No children (students not already in class, siblings or visitors) may be left unattended at any time. 3. Students must be picked up promptly after their lesson. 4.
