This document covers pertinent information regarding TCG's safety measures for classes and requirements of both parents/guardians and students.

In consideration of the services of The Children's Gym, here in after collectively referred to as ("TCG"), their agents, owners, officers, employees, and all other person or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf, I hereby agree to release and discharge TCG, on behalf of myself, my children, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows:

1. I understand and acknowledge that the activity my child is about to engage in poses known risks and unanticipated risks which could result in injury, paralysis, death, emotional distress, or damage to my child, property, or to third parties.

The following describes some, but not all, of those risks: Gymnastics, dance, cheer and fitness classes entails certain risks that simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. Without a certain degree of risks, students would not improve their skills, and the enjoyment of the sport would be diminished. Gymnastics, dance, cheer and fitness classes exposes its participants to the usual risk of cuts and bruises. Other more serious risks exist as well. Participants often fall off equipment, sprain or break wrists and ankles, and can suffer more serious injuries as well. Traveling to and from shows, meets and exhibitions raises the possibility of any manner of transportation accidents. In any event, if your child is injured, your child may require medical assistance, at your own expense.

2. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, no one is forcing me or my child to participate, and we elect to participate in spite of the risks.

3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge and agree to hold harmless and indemnify TCG from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions or rights of action, which are related to, arise out of, or are in any way connected with my child's participation in this activity.

4. Should TCG, or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney's fees & costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and reimburse them for such fees and costs.

5. I certify that my child has health, accident and liability insurance to cover any bodily injury or property damage that may be caused or suffered while participating in this event or activity, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage to my child. I further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition my child may have or else I am willing to assume and bear the costs of all risks that may be created, directly or indirectly, by any such condition.

6. In the event that I file a lawsuit against TCG, I agree to do so solely in the state of Oregon, and I further agree that the substantive law of that state shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of that state. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against TCG on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein.

I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it, and I agree to be bound to its terms.

In consideration of "enrolling student" being permitted by TCG to participate in its activities and to use its equipment and facilities, I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless TCG from any and all claims which are brought by, or on behalf of Minor, and which are in any way connected with such use or participation by Minor.

The undersigned gives permission to The Children's Gym, its owners and operators to seek medical treatment for the participant in the event they are not able to reach a parent or guardian. I hereby declare any physical/mental problems, restriction, or condition and/or declare the participant to be in good physical and mental health. I request that our doctor/physician __(enter in your child's notes)_____ be called and that my child be transported to _______(enter in your child's notes)________ hospital.

By choosing to enroll your child for classes at The Children's Gym you are responsible for payment of the registration/membership fee and class tuition reserved for your child/children until the date of cancellation. You agree to pay for all classes reserved for your child/children, whether or not they attend. There are no refunds or credits of tuition fees paid.

Registration/Membership Fee: (required on students taking regular school year season & summer classes)
The $50 single student registration fee or the $75 family registration fee is due upon initial registration and on your anniversary date, thereafter.

Arrival to Class: Check-In Windows Start 5 minutes before class time until class starts. Students will NOT be permitted into class late. Once class starts a sign will be posted on the door stating that check-in is now closed. Coaches will begin their classes on time which will make it impossible for any of them to check students in late. There are no extra staff members available to permit students in late. Check-in will take place at the main entry door on the corner of 17th & Sandy Blvd. A parent or guardian is required to be present for check-in. At the start of your child's check-in window please line up outside the door forming a line along the windows on Sandy Blvd. There are window decals for social distancing. A coach will permit students in one at a time. Only registered students will be permitted into the facility (as well as 1 parent/guardian for Roli Polie and Mini Mover students). Siblings must remain outside. 1 parent/adult is required to attend all Roli Polie and Mini Mover students. People entering the facility will be instructed to apply hand sanitizer as they walk in. By sending your child to class you are professing that your child does not have the following: ·New or worsening cough not related to an existing medical condition such as asthma. ·Any Covid-19 symptoms over the past 14 days ·And that they or anyone in your home has not been in known close contact with anyone with Covid-19 symptoms or someone diagnosed with Covid-19 in the past 14 days.

Masks: Students and any adult permitted must wear a mask (without a vent or valve) at all times during lessons including before and after and while checking-in. We highly encourage Roli Polie students to wear masks to help mitigate germ spread between other Roli Polie students and other students attending class in other parts of the facility. We recommend bringing a second mask in case a child wants to switch them out during their class. If a student's mask is noticeably wet, we will ask them to replace it with a clean and dry one.

After Class: Upon the completion of class staff will line students up within the facility for check-out. Check-out will be held for 5 minutes after class. Please remember classes are 45 minutes in length. Parents must pick-up their child within 5 minutes of classes ending. Parents/guardians will line up outside like check-in and proceed to the door one at a time. A staff member will send children to their adult when the adult is next in line. TCG will not be checking ID for check-out due to the short nature of the class service. Students must be picked up within that 5-minute window. Accounts of students not picked up within 5 minutes will be charged a $5 flat fee + $1/per minute that a student remains within the facility.

Dress Code: Students must follow standard TCG dress code for classes including wearing comfortable athletic clothing, clothes that are not baggy, clothes that cover midriffs, and hair that is long enough to be pulled back must be. Leotards are preferred. Students can not wear jeans or pants with a waist button to class. Students must arrive in their class apparel. Changing will not be permitted within the facility.

Illness: If your child is sick, do not send them to class. Please contact the front office to excuse them from class and receive a make-up class (see make-up policy for details). If your child has experienced head lice while attending classes, we ask you to inform us so that we can take all the necessary precautions needed to protect our clients and staff.

Tuition pays for a class spot REGARDLESS OF ATTENDANCE. However, as a courtesy, The Children's Gym does offer make-ups for excused absences when class availability permits, in addition to any missed classes for inclement weather. An excused absence eligible for a makeup will disappear from a student's account once they drop from class or the season comes to an end. Once dropped from classes all eligible absences are no longer accessible to be scheduled as a make-up. Make-ups cannot be scheduled within a month a child will not be enrolled in classes.

Students will be allowed unlimited make-ups this season (21/22) for all PRE-EXCUSED absences. In order for an absence to be pre-excused we must be notified at least 4 hours in advance. Excused absences allow us to schedule other make-ups, so it is critical that we receive these notices as soon as possible. For late absences (TCG notified less than 4 hours in advance a "limited make-up" will be granted. Please see below for more details.

Due to the unique nature of camps it will be critical that campers follow coach instructions and Covid-19 safety protocols. We want all campers to have a safe and fun filled day however if the camp structure is not working for a child jeopardizing the safety of fellow campers or staff, TCG will call guardians to pick their child up early. Campers must wear masks at all time except when eating or drinking. Children must be able to put their mask on and take it off independently.
