Parking Policy
The following is the protocol to follow for parking.
PLEASE DO NOT BLOCK THRU TRAFFIC
1. Please, if you are one of the first people to arrive, first pull as far forward, and as straight as possible, into my driveway. Cars coming after, please fill in behind previous cars. Please do not block the neighbor's driveway or park on their side of the road (right side).
2. Only 2 or 3 cars, maximum, may park along the east side of the road, next to my yard. My husband put out some temporary bricks to mark where you should not park in order to not block thru traffic. Soon, we will build a retaining wall to allow for more cars. Do not park on the west side of the road bordering the neighbor's yard.
3. If there is no other place to park in the driveway or along our side of the road, there are a few wider areas along the private road coming up the stretch from the mailbox. Please do not park on the bends in the road.
4. Do not park on the pavers in front of the gate to the east of the base of my front yard. That belongs to our other neighbor.
5. Leave as quickly as possible. I leave 20-30 min between classes to allow for coming and going. Do not stand outside your car to talk to others. There have been past issues of this causing other parents of following classes, and neighbors, to not be able to get in and out. It is very important that we do not block traffic!

After careful consideration, I have decided to lift the mask mandate in my music studio as well. Masks are no longer mandated in my studio. However, I also leave masking up to your own personal decision. I, and families/students in our classes will respect your choice whether to mask or not to mask.
l promise to keep those entering into and living in my home/studio, safe, to the best of my ability. I will clean daily before and after classes, sanitize equipment, and limit sharing of instruments and manipulatives. I am fully vaccinated, and so is everyone in my family.
When you come to class I highly suggest:
-
Please wash your hands or use the provided sanitizer at the beginning of class.
-
Please remove your shoes at the front porch.
If, by chance someone in my home or in my classes, does contract Covid at any time, appropriate measures will be taken. This may mean quarantining and postponing of classes for a needed time.
Those involved in classes at my home, agree to abide by these guidelines, and agree to not hold Mrs. Leslie and her family liable if, by chance Covid is spread unknowingly to themselves, their family members, or others in the class, if exposure happens to occur.
Please sign below that you agree and will abide.
