Registration and Information on Tuition and Payment Plans

REGISTRATION FEE: The registration fee is annually $35 for the first student in a family, $30 for the second, and $25 for each additional person in the same household. It is for that entire school year, ending in the second or third week of June. Each registrant receives an Ottley Music School book bag. The registration fee is non refundable.

WITHDRAWALS: When a student registers, it is assumed that they will attend lessons or classes for the entire school year, or more (if they enroll during the last term of a school year). If a situation occurs that a student must withdraw, they are to give written notice to the school and teacher two weeks in advance, and pay for those two weeks whether or not they take those last two lessons. Tuition for classes and camps is not refunded.

STUDENT ABSENCES: A student/parent is to give 48 hours or more notice of planned absences, and they with the teacher will work out a make-up before or after the planned absence. If a student does not give a 48-hour notice, he/she does not expect a make up lesson. In cases of dire emergencies (child picked up sick from school and taken to hospital), parent must alert the teacher and school right away the day it is happening, and if possible, teacher may work out a make up.

TEACHER ABSENCES: Teachers give students and the administration notice that they will be absent, and the administration and teacher makes every effort to have substitute teacher present for the lessons, so that schedules remain in tact. If a substitute teacher cannot be engaged, the students/parents are notified at least 24 hours in advance, and the teacher or a substitute teacher will schedule a make up lesson with the student/parents.

TUITION and PAYMENT SCHEDULE: The registration fee and half of the term's tuition is payable at registration with a $20 processing fee, and the other half is due the 4th week of the term. Pay the full amount at registration and in the first week of each term for a 10% discount. Pay the full amount for the school year by the 2nd week in the Fall term for a larger discount.
