######## Communication

A very important component for a successful experience at Learning Post Academy is to please keep the lines of communication open. If you have extenuating circumstances that are preventing a deadline from being met, contact your teacher AHEAD OF TIME to see if you can work something out. With advance notice, our teachers are very willing and able to work with you! In contrast, if a student falls behind THEN offers an excuse, the teachers may be less inclined to work with the student.
