Our teachers will be at the Academy to teach lessons if you choose to come to us OR if you prefer, you can take lessons online through Zoom!
We are following the CDC guidelines to keep students, teachers and staff safe. The guidelines are as follows:
• We ask that every student wash their hands or use hand sanitizer upon arrival.
• We have complimentary disposable Kn95 masks if you would like one, just ask the office. These are FREE for our students to use during the lesson and can be discarded.
• As usual we have plenty of hand sanitizer in each teaching room as well as the common areas.
• We have additional complimentary 2 oz. bottles of hand sanitizer.
If you would like one, just ask the office. These are FREE for our students to use during lessons.
• We have complimentary disposable gloves if you would like, just ask the office. These are FREE for our students to use.
• We ask that for now you do not wait in the waiting areas, but that you wait in your vehicle while your child's lesson is being held. What's really cool is you can ZOOM into the lesson with your phone and watch every minute from your vehicle. If you arrive early please either call or text the office to let us know that you are here, and we will let you know when your teacher is ready for you.
For our adult students, please call or text the office to let us know that you are here and we will let you know when your teacher is ready for you.
• Please keep 6 feet of distance from teachers, staff and other customers. We have measured each room and each one can accommodate six feet of social distance.
• We (as we always have), are cleaning the Academy multiple times a day.
Our office staff will be standing by to assist you as normal Sunday 12-5 p.m., Monday - Thursday 10:30a.m.-8:30 p.m., Friday 12:30-7 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need assistance with your in-person lessons, online lessons or anything else.
