School & Building Policies

SCHOOL CLOSING AND CANCELLATION OF CLASSES
Third Street Music School Settlement reserves the right to cancel any class because of insufficient enrollment. In such cases, unused tuition will be refunded. If the School cancels a lesson or class because of teacher absence or bad weather, the class will be re-scheduled or a credit given at the discretion of the administration. Closings due to bad weather or emergencies will be broadcast over radio stations WINS (1010 AM) and WOR (710 AM).

ATTENDANCE POLICY
The School may discontinue any student who misses two consecutive lessons without notification; who has a pattern of absences; who is consistently tardy; or who fails to adhere to his or her payment schedule. As a courtesy, students are asked to call the School in advance to leave a voice mail message for their teacher when they will be absent. Payment must be made for all missed lessons. There is no refund for classes missed because of student absence. Third Street Music School Settlement does not require a teacher to make up any lessons cancelled by students.

STUDENT ID (ACTIVITY CARD)
Every student, faculty and staff member will receive an ID card. This card is required for admittance and must be presented on demand to the security guard or school official. For the protection and security of everyone at Third Street Music School Settlement we ask for the cooperation of all students and parents. This card may also be used to receive discounts or free tickets to cultural events around the city.

BUILDING RULES
Third Street seeks to be an oasis of music and art for all who enter. The School expects every adult to model the proper decorum while on the premises.

When children are not inside their classrooms, they are the responsibility of their parents or caregivers. This means that parents and caregivers are required to pick up children at the classroom door promptly at the end of class. As a courtesy to the teachers, the School asks students and caregivers to wait and speak quietly in the hallways. Failure to comply with this rule will result in the student/ parent being asked to leave the building. It is suggested that caregivers/students bring books, quiet board games, drawing materials or homework for children to do while they wait. In addition, many studios as well as neighbors' windows face the courtyard. Children will be encouraged to play quietly in the courtyard.

No bicycles, tricycles, roller blades, scooters, skateboards or pets are allowed on school property -- the courtyard, the pathways or hallways.
