How To Schedule Makeups

If you know you will miss a class in the future - please go ahead and mark yourself absent/schedule makeup at the same time here.

If you are out sick/last minute and it wasn't planned - this is still ok and you can still make it up -  your teacher marks you absent when they take attendance.

Marking your future absences for things like vacays and appointments is so important to do because when you mark absences it allows another family to attend in your place as a makeup. 

If you need to cancel your marked absence or your makeup class (to change it etc) - no worries - you still do that here on the makeup scheduler under the Cancel tab (see below).  You must cancel any scheduled makeups with 24 hour advance notice to avoid losing the value of the both the missed class AND the makeup.  

There are usually around 20 makeup spots available every single week but we cannot predict if those spots will be convenient for you especially if you have a set or packed schedule with little flexibility. If you have little in the way of flexibility - you may need to consider a missed class as lost, unless you have flexibility to come on other days and times - we generally cannot add makeup days to the end of the term unless we cancelled due to weather, illness covid outbreak or other unforeseen event.

 

Makeup classes are provided  'as available' as a courtesy and not a guarantee. We do not provide credits or refunds for missed classes. We do provide ample opportunity every week of the session to makeup your missed class.  Parents are responsible for attending all classes offered within the session. By self scheduling the makeups before the session is over parents avoid losing the value of one or more missed classes.    We try our best to make sure everyone has lots of opportunity for makeups but marking absences is one way our community works together to make sure there are plenty of classes available on the makeup scheduler. They keys to attending all classes are: be flexible with which teacher, location and day you do your makeup and don't save up your makeups til the end of the session (there won't be many spots left if any at all in the last two weeks of class as everyone will be rushing to get makeups done before semester end).

The path to mark your absences is Parent Portal --> Account Info Box --> Schedule Tab - here's the shortcut link: Mark Absent

Once there,  scroll down to the day you are going to be missing and mark yourself absent (blue clickable link all the way at the right).  

Once your absence is captured, it opens up the makeup opportunitieis below to choose from. Just select which one works.  

If you missed a day without marking in advance - no worries! Your teacher will mark you absent and you can schedule a makeup after your teacher marks you absent which might take up to 24 hrs.
