FAQ
How many students will there be in the class?
20 students max (10 student minimum)
Will students be required to wear a mask?
Students will not be required to wear a mask during class unless the CDC changes the local or national guidelines between now and then.
Will there be food served during class?
Yes. Donuts will be served on dining etiquette night to help teach American vs. Continental styles of dining. If your child has any allergies please let me know on the sign-up sheet.
Will you be teaching any of these programs virtually or host private classes?
Not at this time
Can parents stay and watch the class?
I would prefer the classes be attended by only students as I’ve found behavior and participation changes when parents are present. I will try my best to snap a few photos during class and share them on the business Instagram page- @chasingcivility.
Is there a discount if I have more than one student attending class?
Absolutely. There will be a 20% discount for each additional family member enrolled in a program during the same semester.
How do I register my child?
Registration is not available until mid July
What if the class fills up and my child is on the waitlist?
I will notify parents by Sept. 6th if there are any cancellations or if spots open up before then.
My child participated in your class last fall. Should I sign them up again?
Absolutely! The science experiments and art projects will be similar to last year, but I don’t think we can ever “over teach” social and emotional skills like these classes offer.
