I don't know yet
The Private Lesson Instructor has agreed to provide an individual Lesson Plan to RASOF for each student, to track the Student's attendance and progress, and to provide a Lesson Report to RASOF at the end of the calendar year and at the end of the school year. The MYS Administrative Liaison will ensure the paper work is turned into the ROSOF in a timely manner at the end of the calendar year and the end of the school year. The Instructor is accountable directly to the Student and Parent/Guardian (if Student is a minor). RASOF does not employ or supervise Instructors. The Instructor may contract separately with students or parents/guardians to set clear expectations regarding progress and attendance. *

I/we understand and agree.
With the help of the MYS Artistic Liaison, the Private Lesson Instructor and Applicant may determine the time, schedule, location and manner of providing lessons, such as via Zoom or other video conferencing platform. The Instructor will confirm the arrangement in a Lesson Plan provided to the Applicant and to RASOF. The Private Lesson Instructor and Applicant agree to follow State laws and guidelines for safety during the COVID-19 pandemic, including wearing masks and keeping a 6 foot social distance for any lessons conducted in person. *
