Good afternoon! With the winter weather heading our way this weekend, we wanted to update you on how we determine that lessons are offered or not. For all students, we use the public school district near you (Beaverton SD or Oregon Trail SD) and the closure lists are updated by 6AM at this link: https://www.oregonlive.com/weather/page/oregon_school_closures_delays.html

If your local school district is closed for the day or closed for evening activities, we will be as well. If there is a late start, we will be offering lessons as normal. For morning lessons, you'll receive notification from us IF we have to close no later than 9AM. For afternoon & evening lessons, you'll receive notification from us by 12PM if we must close. These are also the extended cut-off times for YOU to cancel and receive a make up credit.

For example: the school district is open but you live at a high elevation and can't make it due to the roads in your area. You must notify us by the the morning of your lesson that you need to cancel, and we'll over ride the normal make up policy. (Advance notice is always appreciated too!)

We highly encourage you to try an online lesson at your normal lesson time if you cannot travel. We offer live online lessons when we are open and/or closed due to road conditions. To opt in to an online lesson, reply to this email or contact us directly at info@maestromusiclessons.org and we'll send you the link. In order for your teachers to plan ahead, you still must notify us that you won't be arriving in person by 9AM for morning lessons or 12PM for afternoon & evening lessons. We will be unable to accept last-minute requests for make ups or online sessions received after this time.

Please keep yourself safe and warm this next week! I hope the snow comes this weekend and the roads are clear by Monday :)
