Calendar
Each semester is 16 weeks long (16 lessons). There will be 1 makeup week at the end of each semester. Students will be allowed to make up one lesson per semester that they miss for any reason. I will make up any lessons I miss for personal reasons. We will Zoom for weather-related closures. I will close my studio when the Arlington public schools close due to weather.
I will not be teaching on the following days:
Thursday, October 3-Rosh Hashanah
Thursday, November 28-Friday, November, 29: Thanksgiving break
Monday, Dec. 23–Wednesday, January 1: Winter break
Monday, February 17–Friday, February 21-February break
Friday, April 18-Good Friday
Monday, April 21–Friday, April 25-Spring break
Fall lessons start Monday, Sept. 9. Because the schedule can be a little confusing, I am going to send out a list of dates for each day of the week.
Refunds
-If a student finds it necessary to discontinue lessons, the student or parent must submit a request electronically. The student will receive a check for the balance remaining minus a $25 administrative fee.
Cancellations
-Cancellations must be reported to the teacher by 5 PM of the day prior to the scheduled lesson if the student is to be officially excused, and therefore entitled to receive a makeup lesson.
Contact information to cancel a lesson:
-Cell: 617-784-4088 OR Email: erica@studycello.com
Parking
-You may park on the street or in my driveway. The side close to the fence is ours. Feel free to park behind the blue Honda. Please park as far to the right and forward as possible.

Is there anything you would like me to know about your student? I’m particularly interested in things that will help me be the best teacher for them. (Feel free to use the back if you need more space.)
