GENERAL POLICIES:
There are several important rules and policies at Arena Gymnastics. Most of them are for safety reasons, so we hope you will take a few moments to review them if your son and/or daughter is either attending or thinking of doing so. Our low student:teacher ratio applies whether your child is an 18 month old preschooler or an athlete training at the highest level of competition. Our make-up policy is designed to ensure this low ratio is maintained for all classes.
MAKE-UP POLICY:
All students will be allowed three make-ups per session. In fairness to everyone, please do not ask to make up more than three unless there are special circumstances of which you make us aware. All classes must be made up only during the session in which they are missed. Make-ups must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance with the office, as soon as possible after the class is missed. If you wait until near the end of the session, there may be no room for you. If you schedule a make-up and do not either attend or cancel in advance with the office, it will count as one of your make-ups. This is really a very generous make-up policy, so please comply with these regulations.
CLASS CANCELLATIONS:
If Arena classes are cancelled or delayed due to inclement weather, it will be posted on the home page of the website, our Facebook page and on our answering machine. If a storm should come up to require an early closing, that too will be posted. If your child misses a class because WE cancel, you may schedule an additional make-up during the session.
PRESCHOOL ATTIRE:
Girls should wear either a leotard or shorts/pants and a t-shirt. Any tights must be without feet. Please no dresses or leotards with skirts. Girls hair should be secured to stay out of their faces. Boys should wear shorts/sweatpants and t-shirts. All children must have bare feet. Please no jeans, belts, overalls or jewelry. This dress code will be enforced. There are safety reasons for these requests. Please comply. Adults ARE NOT allowed on any equipment.
GIRLS AFTER SCHOOL CLASS ATTIRE:
Girls must wear leotards. Bike shorts or footless tights may be worn with a leotard if desired. All students must have bare feet. All hair must be secured back away from the face. All jewelry must be removed before entering the gym.
