These changes send personalized automatic confirmation emails to the student/parent so everyone is on the same page. If you are ever having difficulties, just fill out the Teacher Schedule Check-In form below or call SuhNie. We will take care of the rest. They even have an app!
Spreading the Music 2022 Handbook
Updated 2/10/2023. Spreading the Music policies are updated every 3 months. Handbook comes complete with a table of contents answering most questions teachers and staff may have. Everything from receiving new students, to how we calculate payroll, teacher studio rental fees, subbing for lessons, setting your own rate, creating your own classes, and more. If you ever have any questions please call Candace.
These are the dates teachers and admins will receive a direct deposit into their registered bank account. Please note, you may also receive a check or PayPal payments in the event of an unexpected delay. You must fill out the Teacher Schedule Check-in below to guarantee accurate payroll. Teachers may be asked to request parents or students to pay a past due invoice to prevent disruptions in lessons or payout. If you ever have a question about payroll, including a payment breakdown please call or text Candace Crawford.
View your paystubs anytime by clicking the button below. Paystubs are tracked with Square Payroll. Please note, payments by PayPal or Check may not be reflected immediately. Square also has a convenient Square Teams app where you can see all your paystubs and even past 1099-NEC tax forms.
Designed by Savannah Summers. Teacher schedule check-in is used to keep accurate payroll, secure a substitute teacher or makeup lesson if you are going out of town, or even make the Acuity Scheduling process simple it easy. It’s also a wonderful check-in to ensure that your needs are being met. Just fill out this form and we will take care of the rest. We will contact you directly if we have additional questions.
Teacher Resources
Managed by K SuhNie Scott. As independent contractors, you have complete control of your classroom and how you choose to teach your students. Though sometimes you need some assistance, inspiration, or both. If you are ever not sure what to do next with a student, or how to best help support them on their journey, check out our teacher resources. These tools will be updated every month and will be reviewed at every Teacher Workshop. If you ever have any questions about our curriculum, contact SuhNie.
