ATTENDANCE

Our school is creative, personal, and encouraging, however, we are not casual in our approach to training. We adhere to attendance standards and we are peevish regarding promptness to class.

Regular attendance is required both for the progress of the individual student and for the work of the class as a whole. Our year is divided into three terms. A maximum of three unexcused absences will be permitted per term. An unexcused absence is an absence for anything other than illness. You will be asked to withdraw from our program if you acquire more than three unexcused absences per term. There is no carry over of unexcused absences from term to term. In the event where regular attendance is hindered by poor health, injury or travel, we will determine on an individual basis if withdrawal will be in the best interest of the student and class.

Regarding tardiness: While we ourselves experience the unexpected on occasion, we grant just a few "grace" days. After "grace" has been extended for lateness you may expect that subsequently if your child arrives late to class she will be asked to observe class and not participate that day. As a general rule, expect traffic. This is Atlanta, where all hours are rush-hour. Plan to arrive 5 to 10 minutes prior to the start of class. We will work with you to find a class day and time that will work for your schedule.
