All students are entitled to TWO excused absences per semester (No additional makeup will be given, unless due to a teacher’s absence). An excused absence requires 24 hour notice (No later than 8:00 PM the evening prior) with an email to info@keystosuccessnyc.com or call to the school office at 929-288-1833. ((lesson that is canceled on the same day as the scheduled lesson will be excused only in the case of student illness, so long as notice to the office is given by 11:00 AM on the day of the lesson for weekday lessons, or 8:00 AM for Saturday lessons; or in the event of a verified emergency.)) 

 

Unexcused Absences

All lessons canceled with less than 24 hours notice will be considered unexcused and will not be eligible to be made up. 

 

Makeup Lessons

Students should schedule a time for a make-up lesson directly with the instructor. Student cancellation of an agreed upon make-up lesson will not be made up or credited. Makeup lessons will be scheduled during a week designated between the teacher and student/family. Makeups that are not completed by the end of semester will be forfeited. 

     **Cancellation of lessons due to unsafe weather will be conducted online. 

 

Tardiness

If a student arrives late, instructors are only obligated to teach until the lesson’s scheduled endpoint. Missed lesson time due to student tardiness will not be made up. If 15 minutes of the lesson has passed, the teacher is not obligated to stay for the remainder of the time. If an instructor is late by 10 minutes or more, they will be obligated to make up the lesson at a later date. Missed lesson time due to faculty tardiness will be made up at a mutually convenient time.
