Policies and Procedures 2007-2008

Registration:  A non-refundable membership fee of $30 per student or $75 per family is required yearly.

Payment of Fees:

Payment by Automatic Bank Account Debit or Credit Card Charge:  Tuition will be debited from your bank account or charged to your credit card on the 1st day of each month.  The first month of class is non-refundable.  You must sign an auto-debit or automatic credit card charge authorization form.

Monthly In-Person Payment:  If you choose to pay monthly, you must supply a series of post-dated checks to cover your child’s tuition for each month of participation. 

Returned Checks:  A fee of $25.00 will be charged for any checks returned by the bank for any reason.  This fee applies to electronic and paper checks.

Withdrawals and Refunds:  There is a two-month minimum for all lessons.  One month notice from the first of the month is required to discontinue any class.  Withdrawal must be done in person and will not be accepted over the phone or with a teacher.  Withdrawal must occur within the first 10 days of the month.  Bull City Gymnastics reserves the right to terminate lessons to any student without notice.  In such a case, a refund for unused lessons will be given.  To withdraw from class a parent must inform school administration in person and complete and sign a withdrawal form. 

Extreme Weather or Unexpected Interruption of Classes:  If the school must cancel classes due to extreme weather or events beyond our control, such as power outages, the missed lessons will be added on to the end of the teaching year.  No refunds for lessons missed due to these reasons will be given.

Substitutions:  The school reserves the right to provide a substitute teacher if the regularly scheduled teacher is ill or otherwise unable to teach classes.  If feasible, the school may also combine two classes for that lesson.  If a teacher is out and the school cannot arrange a solution, any missed classes will be made up.  Refunds will not be given for teacher absence.

Attendance:  A minimum attendance level will be required.  The school reserves the right to terminate lessons for any student who misses four or more sequential classes without written notice.

Missed Classes and Make-ups:  Make-up classes may be taken for missed classes. Make-ups must be scheduled with the office to ensure space for your child.  Make-ups must be taken within one month of the missed class. Students are permitted to use up to 4 make-ups during the year.  Account credit will be issued for missed classes due to extended illness or injury. Please inform the office immediately in this case.

Dress Code:  Appropriate gym wear must be worn to all classes. A leotard for girls is preferred, but shorts and a t-shirt are acceptable. For male gymnasts, shorts and a t-shirt should be worn.  Students are not permitted to wear jeans or jewelry, and long hair must be tied back for all classes.

Parents’ Responsibility to be Aware of Dates and Events:  It is the responsibility of the parent or adult student to be aware of all school activities and dates the school is open or closed.  The school will post all such notices at the school and send appropriate notices home with the students.  It is the responsibility of the parents or adult students to inform the school of any address or telephone number changes.

Care of Students:  The school is not responsible for providing before or after class care for students.  Students are not to be left at the school for excessive time before or after class.  Siblings of students must be supervised by present parents at all times while in the gym. 

Injuries:  Parents, legal guardians of minor students, and adult students waive the right to any legal action for any injury sustained on school property resulting from normal gymnastics activity or any other activity conducted by the students before, during, or after class time.  School waiver and proof of insurance form must be completely filled out prior to the start of classes.

Photo Release:  BCG is hereby granted permission to take photographs of the students to use in brochures, websites, posters, advertisements, and other promotional materials.  Permission is hereby granted for the school to copyright such photographs in its name.

Gym Rules:  Only registered students are permitted to enter the gymnastics area.  All parents, guardians, and siblings must use the bathrooms located in the lobby area.  Gym bathrooms are for registered students only.  Parents of young children may meet their children at the base of the staircase and escort them to the lobby bathrooms.
