ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, WAIVER, INDEMNIFICATION, AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK
I, personally and as the parent and guardian of any student I enrolled at The Lesson Center, do hereby acknowledge my responsibilities as a parent of a student, or as a student myself, at The Lesson Center and its agents, board, officers and contractors, ("The Lesson Center").
I further acknowledge that the COVID19 Guidelines and recommendations may change, are difficult to adhere to and enforce, and the successful implementation of guidelines as designed will require the efforts of all parties involved.

It is also generally accepted that many people can be asymptomatic carriers of the virus, making it difficult prevent the spread by otherwise seemingly healthy individuals.
