Holidays, Vacations and Days Off
Inclement Weather
During snow or ice storms, on the day of the lesson I will contact my students if I must cancel due to travel difficulties, or for confirmation that the roads are clear in their neighborhood. In these cases, there is no charge for the missed day. The prepaid tuition is automatically applied to the following month. If there is no call, expect the lesson to commence as planned. I seldom miss a scheduled lesson.
The following holidays will be observed:
