SYLLABUS



CLASS BEHAVIOR & ADMINISTRATIVE INFO: 
Please make note of the following:
1) VIDEO REQUIRED. Students will interact with me and their peers using the microphone and video camera on their device. In order to ensure the safety of all students, please ensure that your learner is able to turn on their video so that I may verify their identity. I also ask that cameras stay on unless your student needs to step away. 

2) Please have your learner(s) familiarize themselves with the Outschool features such as mute and raising their hand. Students are expected to be respectful to all during class.

3) Please enroll all siblings for their own spot in the class, as appropriate. 

4) Classes with less than 2 students will be either canceled and refunded or rescheduled. 

5) Make up sessions are not available. Recordings are available for students who are absent during the course.

6) Please refer to the Outschool policy regarding refunds. I cannot offer refunds even partial, after the first class has taken place.
