Dear Parents,


To better serve you, we are updating our school policies to include two new
provisions regarding teacher cancellations and payment methods. During the week
of March 3, please make sure to come into the school with the student to review and
sign the updated school policies. If you have any questions, please contact the
school at (330) 809-6252 or email me at Daniel@jacksonmassillonmusic.com.

Cancellations:

The Jackson Massillon School of Music encourages our teachers to maintain
an active performance career, excel in their university studies, and to care for their
physical and mental health. As such, teachers will be permitted to cancel lessons no
more than 6 times per calendar year: two cancellations from September –
December, two cancellations from January – May, and two cancellations June-
August.
Within the bounds of these excused cancellations, makeup lessons will be
scheduled at your convenience. Beyond these two cancellations by the instructor,
parents will be offered the opportunity to either receive a credit on their next
months invoice or to schedule a makeup lesson.
We strongly encourage you to schedule makeup lessons for any missed
lesson by the teacher or the student, although we understand that this can be
difficult and inconvenient.

Payment, effective March 24, 2019 (April Tuition)

The Jackson Massillon School of Music will be switching over to online
payments only. Payments made through ACH will have no processing fee, however,
there will still be a 3.5% fee associated with all credit and debit card transactions.

You will have the option to enroll in auto-pay, where your account will be
charged the 24th of each month or to review invoices before your preferred payment
method is charged. We will process all payments on the first of each month.

Thank you,

Daniel
