made less than 24 hours before the lesson unless there is an emergency. When the teacher can-

cels or the weather dictates an absence and a make-up lesson is not rescheduled, you will receive

a reimbursement for the amount of that class.

To reschedule a lesson please observe these procedures: (1) A lesson will be rescheduled only if

the CEA teacher is notified at least 24 hours prior to the absence. (2) A lesson will be rescheduled

at a time that is mutually convenient for the CEA teacher, parents, and student, and when facili-

ties are available. The 24-hour policy may be waived if the cancellation is due to an emergency

or sudden illness or at the discretion of the CEA teacher.

COMMUNICATION: The Director is always available to discuss concerns or answer questions.

Please discuss any problem with the CEA teacher first, if appropriate. If you are not satisfied, do

not hesitate to contact the Director.

Monart Drawing Program The Monart guided system of drawing shows how to perceive the visual world in terms of five basic elements of shape. Just as a musician learns notes and scales in order to play an instrument, students learn the skills necessary to translate their perceptions onto paper. This method has achieved phenomenal results among both children and adults, including those with learning differences. Teachers that regularly use the guided drawing method in the classroom report that reading and math scores rise by as much as twenty percent. Studies have shown that when stu-dents draw the subjects they are studying they learn the information eight times faster and retain the information eight times longer. With guid-ed drawing, every student has the opportunity experience increased self-esteem, creativity, and confidence, and develop skills that are transfer-able to other areas of learning. Monart follows an altered schedule.
