be
extended

Lesson

In
the
event
of
severe
weather,
we
will
follow
Ponca
City
School
District
closings.
Please
check
your
local
news
station
or
the
PCYC

other
natural
disaster,
the

not
be
made
up
and
there
will
be
no

Students
taking
lessons
can
expect
about
$30-­‐$40
of
music

throughout
the
year.
Bills

music
or

supplies
will
be
sent
as
needed.
These
charges
will
be
applied
to
your
account
and
charged
at
the
same
time
as
the

Students

daily
practice.
Practice

student
levels.
Parental
Involvement

Parental
support
is
crucial
to
the
success
of
each
student.
To
keep
parents
informed,
we
regularly
communicate
via
email
and
text.
Students
also
have
an
assignment
notebook
to
facilitate
communication
between
studio
and
home.
