Attendance
Regular attendance is required as each lesson builds on the one prior. If a student misses 3 classes, they will be dropped from the roll.
Class Make-ups
You may make-up at any location that has your program. Refer to your class’ schedule to locate classes for a make-up. Please note that make-up classes are a courtesy. When a large number of students are absent from their regular class, it not only makes an impact on that class, it makes an impact on the make-up class. For that reason, large numbers of students may not be able to make-up together. We do our best to accommodate. For illness or emergencies, call (650) 340-9860. Students are encouraged to schedule a make-up class (see class schedule and locations). Make-ups are offered as a courtesy, but sometimes can’t be accommodated.
When To Arrive
We ask that students arrive 10 minutes early for instruction and sign-in. If you need to bring a student earlier or will be late to pick up, please call (650) 340-9860 or email us at least 24 hours prior to class.
Medical
Please notify us of any medical or learning conditions.
ADHD and JMC
ADHD presents challenges in nearly every facet of life. For a child with ADHD, feeling like they belong can be very difficult. JMC has worked well for a number of ADHD students, as they learn many of the social skills they need to practice, such as introducing themselves, conversing with others, approaching a buffet table, tying neckties, and eating a formal dinner. These tools give them the self-respect and confidence to accomplish whatever they set their minds to in life. Children learn how to introduce themselves, converse with others, approach a buffet table, tie neckties, and dine at a formal dinner.
