Rules & Policies of The Gym-Nest

1. Make Up Classes

All make up classes are subject to class availability and are given in case of personal illness, injury or family emergency only. Make up classes must be taken within two weeks of the missed class. Classes are forfeited after the two week period. They are only for students currently enrolled in the program, and may not be carried into the next session. Make ups must be arranged through the child's regular instructor.

2. Payments

All class payments are due on the first class of each session. If there is no one in the office, you may leave your payment in the little box near the office window. A late fee of $5.00 will be charged for payments received after the 15th of the month.

There are no discounts or refunds for missed classes. A "Drop-in" rate is available for sessions with pre-arranged absences only. All class fees are based on four weeks of class per session. Sessions may include days from another month.

Please notify the office if you are dropping, so we will know that we have space available for someone else.
You may be billed for spaces held if you fail to notify the office in writing.

3. Parents

Please keep your children quiet and under control when they are here watching a class or waiting for someone. No running, yelling or horseplay is allowed. Our teachers are here to provide quality instruction for your children. They can do this best if distractions are kept to a minimum. As in any public building, you are responsible for your child's conduct.

4. Spectators

Please stay in the viewing area. No one is allowed on the gym floor except members of a class in progress.

5. NO SMOKING

Anywhere in the building or near open doors. Also, no food, drinks or gum on the gym floor at any time.

6. Girls Attire

One piece leotard without skirts and cotton socks or bare feet. Bare midriffs are not permitted. Hair should be tied back. No rings or other jewelry. Fingernails must be cut short.

7. Boys Attire

Elastic band shorts or sweat pants, t-shirt, and cotton socks.

8. Leave Valuables at Home

Student's belongings should be placed in a cubbyhole while in class. Please do not leave items on the floor or block walkways. The Gym-Nest is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

9. Tardiness

Please be sure your child arrives for class on time. Warmups are very important in helping prevent injuries. For their safety, students arriving after warmup has ended may be refused admittance into the class.

10. Annual Insurance Fee

The annual insurance is secondary to your existing policy. It is required by the carrier that 100% of the students and staff be covered by this insurance policy regardless of other coverage.
