Policies for Children & Parents

Click Here for a MYB guide for children and parents.

Payment: MYB accepts payment for tuition by cash or check only. We do not accept credit cards. Tuition must be received by dates specified on the fall/summer registration form. Failure to pay will result in dismissal from the school.

Commitment to Attend: We truly expect your child to attend each and every scheduled class. Because we limit the number of children in a class we are hopeful that everyone will honor their commitment and complete the entire year. We ask that you call if you are going to be late or absent. Please be aware that if your child is more than 10 minutes late to class, the teacher reserves the right to ask your child observe class. This is for the safety of your child.

Make-up Classes: Lessons that are missed due to illness can be made up at a later date. Ask your teacher for an appropriate time to make up your lesson.

Class level, Promotion and Dismissals: All decisions in regard to placement, promotions or dismissals are made by MYB faculty. Children in the Junior and Advanced divisions will receive written mid year evaluations. All parents or children that are concerned with their progress should direct the questions to their teacher. We are happy to speak to you about any concerns you may have.
