Class Policy 2008-2009
AGES: Students ranging in ages from four to eighteen years are welcome.
MOTIVATION: All students should show a desire to learn Spanish and should practice their lessons between weekly classes.
TUITION: Each session is $10.00 per student. You may pay weekly or monthly. Payment is due one week prior to each class. (Thus, September’s enrollment is due the last week of August.) There are no required expenses beyond enrollment (and textbook "Spanish Now" about $20, High School Classes)
ABSENCES: If a student knows he will be absent beforehand, he simply should note this on the sign in sheet. I will provide the packet of work the week he returns to class. I must be notified (via email, phone, message machine, in person, etc) at least 24 hours in advance to credit an absence. If I am not aware of the student's absence BEFORE class, payment will not be credited toward the next attended class session. No refunds will be made for any enrollment fees. All absent students will receive the packet of homework for any missed class. A student wishing to discontinue classes should simply notify me with one week's notice.
CLASS SIZE: One class will consist of at least 4 students, no more than 16.
"SITTING-IN": Students respond very differently (or not at all) to a lesson when a parent is present. Please depart from the classroom during class time. When the store is quiet enough, we leave the door open so parents can hear the lesson as well. Students should arrive and depart on time. Class will end about five minutes to the hour so that the next class can begin on time. Students should wait quietly by the store table or in the playroom (at Key Curriculum) for their ride if necessary.
CLASS MATERIALS: Please bring a pen or pencil, and a binder or folder to house your Spanish packets and binder sheets. Classes that require a text will receive their books at the first class.
