Private Art Lessons schedule reminder
Please remember that I am happy to work around your busy school schedule. I do not mind if I have to schedule around special days or if you have to skip a week for a vacations, holiday, special event, etc. But once we agree to the dates you will be attending, I expect you here on those dates. I plan my other activities and work around you. It takes a lot of time and effort to schedule my day since I have to plan for transportation (which could include the bus, walking or a friend helping me), my online job and etc. So it is not fair to me to not come to a private art lesson because of a play day, birthday party, vacation, etc and then expect me to make it up later. I reserve a time for you and I expect you to be here. If you do have to cancel, I will have to insist on 24-hours notice. Make-ups will only be given if you have to miss for an emergency situation (extreme weather, illness, death, etc). Please remember that any make-ups will only be given if I have time on my schedule and on a case-by-case basis.
