Absence Policy
Drop Policy Classes dropped after August 1 will need to be paid in full. Your child may be dropped if he or she is absent for 3 consecutive classes without notice to the teacher. Families do have to pay for the whole year regardless if their student comes or not, unless they have made individual arrangements with the tutor.
Grading Scale Each tutor will give percentages for each assignment and most will average for the year, but the parents give the letter grades since they are responsible for their child's education. Homework is mandatory if it is given.
Bad Weather Policy When weather conditions warrant canceling classes an email will be sent to all families by 7:00 am. It will also be announced on WOOD radio. In case of tornado warning students will be moved to a safe location. Parents are welcomed to pick up their students but it is not necessary. Classes will not be made up unless two weeks are missed.
