During your child’s scheduled class we do not permit parents in the gym. (Unless you are participating in our tot program). Gymnasts will only leave the gymnasium with an instructor for bathroom purposes. All gymnasts will begin stretching before class begins. 

LAST CLASS / OBSERVATION DAY

We will invite 2 parents, family or friends per participant (family) in the gym for observation  during the last class of the session. Participants will be presented with an award and certificate at the last class.  Bring your cameras!

BEHAVIOR POLICY

A positive behavior system is used by instructors to reward participants who demonstrate appropriate behaviors. Participants who demonstrate positive behaviors during class are rewarded with a stamp at the end of class. However, if negative behavior is demonstrated during class, he/she will be given a warning.  If a child receives 3 or more warnings during class,  he/she will not rewarded with a stamp at the end of class.  Additionally, if a student continues to demonstrate negative behaviors after receiving 3 warnings, he/she will be asked to take a time-out from class.  Continued negative behavior will result in a parent conference.
