However, if the class must be rescheduled due to the weather, we will make every attempt to contact all registered students in that class two hours prior to the start of the class. Please be sure that the telephone number you provided at the time of registration is the best number to enable us to reach you in the event there are any changes. A decision to cancel and reschedule a class will be made jointly between the class instructor and the shop.
