Any absence must be made up. We offer make-up days regularly. However, ALWAYS double check with the secretary to verify a make-up date and time, as they vary. If you miss more than 5 days (10 classroom hours) the contract will be terminated and the student must re-enroll.

How do I enroll my child in a class?fdsbelton2014-11-16T20:48:02-06:00

How do I enroll my child in a class?

We pre-register for all of our classes. If you would like to sign a student up you will need to come to the office and fill out the required paperwork and bring a form of payment. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes to complete. You do not need any legal documents at this time. The student does not need to be present to enroll, however, the parent or legal guardian does. This can be done during our office hours.
