Invoices must be paid in full on or before the specified due date. If a payment is missed, the student or their family will be contacted via email or phone to discuss options for bringing the account up to date and a $10 fee will be assessed . Failure to resolve outstanding payments will result in the suspension of lessons, ensembles, or classes until the account is paid in full. This policy ensures fairness to all students and helps the school maintain its high-quality programming.

Any invoice not paid by the 20th of the month will incur a $10 late fee. MCMS will suspend activities until student account is brought up to date.
