Make-up / keep-up policy
If your child will miss class, please call or text the morning before class starts. Make-up or catch-up dates can be arranged within the month missed when possible; please contact Donna to schedule. Advance notice for planned absences (for example, a family trip) is appreciated so a make-up can be pre-arranged.
Because of materials and set-up for each project, missed classes cannot be added on at the end of the semester.
