Update 1/4/22
I hope everyone had a great holiday! Many apologies for not getting the December invoice out last month. We were all set up to get them done around the 10th, but then family started arriving for the holidays, preparations went into high gear, and the invoices just slipped to the bottom of the to-do list. I think we cooked more food, baked more treats, and made more trips to the airport in the last three weeks than we have in the last 3 years! It was great having our two sons home after our first semester of being empty-nesters, as well as seeing our other family members who stopped by or passed through. I hope your time with your family was as full of love and joy as ours!
Now on to business...
The invoice you are receiving today is the regular December invoice, and payments that we received in December will not be on it as usual. We will be sending out the January invoice as soon as we can, but there are a number of bumps in the schedule this month I have to work around, and I'm trying to work in a few more students from my waiting list, so we are shooting to have those out by the 15th. If you would like to wait and pay for both December and January at that time, that will be fine.
I look forward to seeing all of my students soon!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving break. And of course, it's such a short time back at school and we're already getting ready for the winter break. I can't believe how fast this school year is passing!
Like many of you, I'm sure, we are having family in town for the holidays, and we will need some time to prepare for them. So, with that in mind, my intention is to not teach any lessons the week of December 13. There may be a few exceptions, and I will contact those students and parents individually. I've also learned through the years that school schedules tend to get a little crazy that last week before break with testing and finals, so this will also allow your child to focus on those things as they reach the end of the semester.
Towards the end of Winter break, I will be in touch with setting up lessons for January. There shouldn't be a lot of changes, but I do have a small waiting list for new students right now, so I may make a few changes to work those students in.
I hope everyone has a wonderful break, full of love and joy!
