Registration: 

Upon registration, a registration fee of $25 is due.  The registration fee will be assessed annually on the anniversary month that your child first enrolled (i.e., your child enrolls in September, registration will be due every September that your child attends classes) The registration fee is non refundable, non-creditable and non adjustable. A cap of $75 per family for registration will be imposed for those with more than 3 children enrolled in the same session.

Special Discounts

There is a 10% discount on the lowest monthly tuition for families who have two children enrolled in the same session.  There is a 20% discount on the lowest monthly tuition for families who have three or more children enrolled in the same session.  No other discounts may be applied with multiple family discounts.

Payments

Payment is due on the first day of class for each session, but not later than the second class meeting.  A $10 late charge will be assessed if payment is not made by the child’s third class meeting and a $25 late charge will be assessed if payment is not made by the fourth class meeting.  It is the parent’s/ guardian’s responsibility to keep track of session start and end dates as well as when payments are due.

Payment by check is the preferred method of payment if possible.  At this time we do not accept credit cards.

Adding/Dropping Classes

Students may change or add (as long as there are slots available) classes by notifying the office.  If a student is NOT going to be registering for the next consecutive session A DROP CARD MUST BE FILLED OUT AND RECEIVED NO LATER THAN THE LAST WEEK OF THE CURRENT SESSION FOR WHICH THE CHILD IS ENROLLED.  Drop cards will be available at the display case just inside the front door of the gym several weeks before the end of the current session.  Drop cards should be placed in the box provided.  Your space will be automatically held and you will be charged, unless advance notice of discontinuing, by filling out a drop card, is received.  If your child is registering for the next consecutive session, you do not need to do anything to secure your child’s spot in the next session. No tuition adjustments, credits or refunds will be given if a student drops a class after the 2nd class meeting unless a written medical excuse signed by a certified physician is received by the office.

Make-ups/ Cancelled Classes

Classes missed for any reason may be made up within the same session the class is missed.  Students are allowed ONE make-up per session.  A class must be missed before the class can be made up.  Please schedule all make-ups with the office.  If the student misses the last class of the session, he or she may make up a class in the next session.  Make ups may be taken in any class appropriate to the students age and ability, provided the student’s account is in good standing. Classes cannot be carried over from one session to another. Pioneer Gymnastics reserves the right to cancel and/or reschedule classes and faculty. If the gym is closed due to inclement weather or holidays, the instructor will reschedule classes missed and you will be notified accordingly.  Notification of cancelled classes due to inclement weather will be posted on our website, www.pioneergymnastics.com  Classes may not be made up for inclement weather if the gym remains open for that day.  Gymnasts are allowed only one make up class per session.  Any missed class which is not made up will not result in a credit to your account. If your child is the only gymnast present for any class, that class will only be a ½ hour private lesson.

Returned Checks

There is a $25 fee for each returned check.  It is the policy of Pioneer Gymnastics to automatically re-deposit returned checks.  Please do not drop off late students without coming into the gym to check the status of the class.

Driver Responsibility

Please come into the gym to pick up or drop off your children.  We insist on all children waiting inside for their rides. 

Valuables

Valuable items should not be brought into the gym.  Pioneer Gymnastics will not be responsible for lost or stolen items.

Parking

Please park in a parking space, and be aware of the children around you when parking. Please do not park in front the building, Sunny Mart spaces, Denardo's spaces or in front of the dumpster.

Parent Viewing

Parents are welcomed to view classes at anytime, and we encourage you to stay and do so if at all possible.  Parents should view from the designated viewing area, located on the second floor of the gym.  A children’s table is provided for other children to do homework or color.  At no time should parents or siblings be on the gym floor (except when assisting a Kids Clubhouse class).  Please do not sit in walkways. Please keep all cell phone conversations to a minimum as the viewing area is open to the facility.  Please do not talk to or otherwise distract the children participating in classes, as any interruptions could result in serious injury.

Dress Code

All female students should wear a leotard if possible.  Otherwise, clothes without buttons, zippers or beads are most appropriate for gymnastics.  Hair must be tied back out of the face and no jewelry should be worn. Students are to have bare feet or gymnastics shoes.

Warm Ups

All classes begin with a warm-up, which is very important for children’s safety. Proper warm-up and stretching helps reduce the chance of injury.

Exhibitions and Special Events

Members and non-members alike will be invited to participate in special events throughout the year, such as tumbling clinics and Kids Fun Night.  Members who are active in two sessions or more throughout the school year are invited to participate in our annual End of the Year Show, which will be held on June 17, 2011.
