Beyond the Bell Welcome!
Cannon School strives to provide quality after-school Beyond-the-Bell (BTB) programming for our students, including private music lessons and SAT & ACT Prep Courses for Upper School students.
Program FAQ Q: When and how can I sign up for BTB classes? A: You can sign up anytime during the sign-up period November 8 November 19. Additionally, we accept late registrations before week 2 of a session, if the class has open spots. Please note that class fees will not be prorated. To register, go to www.cannonschool.org to the BTB page to register online or complete the registration form on the back and return to the Enrichment Office. Q: What if I want to cancel or change a class in the middle of a session? A: If your child is unhappy with his/her choice or their schedule has changed, you may cancel a class after the first week. Once the student has attended the second class, we are unable to cancel billing and full payment is required. Please note that you will be billed for the one class attended at the per-class cost. Q: What are my payment options? A: You can pay by check, cash, money order, or have the full amount billed to your student account. Payments are due with your registration. Q. How many students are accepted in each BTB class? A. Each class has its own minimum and maximum number of students. Classes that do not reach the minimum number required will be canceled and no charges will be applied. Classes will close once the maximum number has been reached, so early registration is recommended.
