Policies

Payment Policy:

Each month's tuition is due by the first class of the month. You may pay with cash, check, Venmo, Zelle. If you are paying with cash or check, please put it in an envelope with your name on it. You are welcome to pay more than one month's tuition at a time. Please indicate the number of months on your envelope or check. There will be a $25 charge for returned checks and you will be required to pay with cash in subsequent months. A monthly invoice will be sent to the email address listed upon registration for each family at the beginning of the month. A 5% discount will be applied if you choose to pay for the entire semester at once. (5% discount is applied to tuition only, not supply and building fee). 

Behavior Policy:

In order to maximize learning, class behavior needs to be orderly and respectful.

Class Expectations:

1. Class begins promptly. Please be seated and ready to begin.

2. Older students need to bring their folders with music, pencil & colored pencils to each rehearsal.

3. All assignment sheets need to be returned to class the following week with a parent signature. (These will go out periodically but will count as homework grades.)

4. Older students are expected to practice at home to be prepared for each rehearsal.  Minimum weekly practice times are 30-minutes for Upper elem., 45-minutes for Men's and Ladies' Choirs. 

5. Students are to encourage and support one another.  

Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. Romans 15:7

6. During rehearsals, older students need to take notes in their music and study at home observing these musical markings. 

7. All students are expected to be respectful, attentive, well-mannered during class, follow instructions the first time given, and avoid visiting until class is over. To minimize distractions, students need to use the restroom before or after class.

So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled. I Thessalonians. 5:6

Dress Code:

Please dress modestly. For classes, skirts/dresses should be below the knee and shorts should come just above the knee or below. Spaghetti straps or tank tops are not allowed, and shirts should not be low-cut. Shirts, pants and shorts should not have any inappropriate words or pictures. There should be no visible undergarments and nothing skintight. If the director views something as inappropriate (even if it is not currently in the dress code), he will ask the student not to wear it again. Please respectfully adhere to these requests.

Attendance Policy:

Excellent attendance to rehearsals, extra rehearsals and concerts is imperative for a successful learning experience.

Students will be given a calendar at the beginning of the semester with all the rehearsal and performance dates for that semester. In the event we are invited to perform later in the semester, Mr. and Mrs. Cole will check the availability of the students and parents before making the performance mandatory. Otherwise, all dates on the calendar are mandatory and any student who will need to miss more than 1 performance or 2 rehearsals per semester should make arrangements to discuss this with Mr. and Mrs. Cole prior to enrolling. A more detailed attendance policy for the older choirs is included in their Lux Venit Handbook.

General Guidelines:

• No student is allowed to be left unattended if not in class.  A parent is required to be with each student who is not in a class. 

• Students are to be dropped off and picked up promptly for each class.

• During your child’s class, please wait in the designated area(s) for your location.  Lower elementary parents are required to stay on campus.
