If you or your child are unable to attend a class, please mark your absence on the customer portal app at least one day before your scheduled lesson. This will allow you to book a make-up class through the same app. While we aim to offer make-up classes as needed, please note that availability may be limited. All make-up classes must be booked within 90 days of the missed class.
