PORTFOLIO INTENSIVE MISSED CLASS POLICY (year)
We expect all students to attend almost all (if not all) classes throughout the year to ensure they are following the program and are prepared with their best portfolio results. We will offer makeup time only if the student is sick or has a difficult family circumstance. We will do everything we can to accommodate that student to catch up. These absences should be short term to ensure we can catch up. There will be no makeups offered for family vacations or any other non-valid reasons for missing a class.
CHILDREN MISSED CLASS POLICY (semester)
We allow 2 make up per semester for any reason. Makeups must be made within two weeks of missed class (before or after missed class).
