• Parent volunteers will be on site on Sundays to help maintain safe and orderly traffic flow and assist with school operations. Thank you for your cooperation.

📝 3) Registration, Payment & Trial Weeks

The first two Sundays, September 13 and September 20, are trial weeks.

• Families who have registered and completed payment may attend classes during both trial weeks. If you decide to withdraw before the third Sunday of school, all payments except the registration fee will be refunded.
• Families who have not registered or have not completed payment may attend only one trial session for the same class.

Families who complete both registration and payment by September 12 receive a $25 registration fee discount. Registration or payment completed on or after September 13 is subject to the full $50 registration fee.

Important Reminder: After selecting your classes, please make sure to complete the final registration confirmation step.

Please click the “click here” link under “After registering your classes, click here to complete your registration.” This step includes reviewing school policies, student photo/video consent, payment confirmation, and electronic signature, and is an important part of completing your MIOT registration.

For payment, we strongly recommend using Zelle for convenience and efficiency. If you encounter any registration issues, please email info@millburntalent.org.

🔄 4) Withdrawal, Credit & Late Registration Policy

• Withdrawal before the third Sunday of school: All payments will be refunded except the registration fee.
• Withdrawal after that point: After deducting a $20 processing fee, all unused tuition will be returned to the family's MIOT account as credit. The credit may be used toward tuition for other courses in the same school year or in future school years.
• Cash payout of refund credit: If a family chooses to cash out credit generated by a course withdrawal, 50% of the credit amount will be refunded in cash.
• Joining after the third week: Tuition will be prorated based on the remaining class days, and a $20 processing fee will apply.

👨‍👩‍👧 5) Parent Duty

• Requirement: As in previous years, each family is required to complete one Parent Duty shift during the school year.
• Sign-Up: Please log into your Family Account and click “Parent Duty Signup is available” to select a shift.
• Refund: After completing your Parent Duty shift, you will receive a $50 refund of the Parent Duty fee. You may also choose to leave the amount as a credit toward the next school year and receive an additional $5 credit.

📚 6) Other Reminders

• Textbooks: Students whose payment has been completed may pick up their textbooks on the first day. Families with outstanding payment may experience a delay in textbook distribution.
• Class WeChat Groups: If you have not yet joined your class WeChat group, please visit the second-floor school desk on Sunday for assistance.
• Class Capacity: Some classes are already full or near capacity. Please complete registration and payment as soon as possible to confirm your class placement.
• Waitlisted Chinese Classes: Due to classroom capacity limitations, some Chinese classes currently have waitlisted students. We continue to monitor the waitlists for these classes. If your child is currently on a waitlist, you may also consider trying the other section at the same level, if the schedule works for your family, to increase the chance of starting class sooner.

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation. We look forward to seeing everyone this Sunday and wish all of our students a wonderful and rewarding new school year!
