GENERAL RULES - PARENTS

• Parents are not allowed in the gym or on the stairs in the gym. For the gymnast's safety and to minimize the distractions, all viewing must take place from the viewing area only.
• Parents must sign a release form if they will be out in the gym. (Because of the many uneven surfaces, it is dangerous if you have not been given instruction on where to walk and what to watch out for.)
• If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to talk to your child's coach after class or ask at the desk to set up a time with the coach.
• In order for our staff to serve you more efficiently, parents are not allowed behind the front desk.
• For your convenience we have a courtesy phone on the north wall across from the office. Please limit phone calls two minutes.
• Please be prompt picking up your child after class. See late policy rule on bottom of second page.
• PLEASE BE AWARE that if your child needs to use the bathroom during class that neither the instructor nor the office staff can be responsible for ensuring they use the bathroom, and then return to class. An office worker must accompany your child back to class. You may want to watch your child's class in case they need a bathroom break.

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY

• In case of snow, ice or severe cold, we will notify channel 11 TV station to broadcast a closing bulletin. WATCH YOUR TELEVISION. Canceled classes will be allowed an extra make up that session. TCT will not be held responsible for errors broadcasted. We usually leave a message on our answering machine also. 763-421-3046

MAKE-UP POLICY FOR CLASSES

• In order to better schedule gym and staff time, and to provide consistent, high quality gymnastics instruction, we ask that you make every effort to attend your regularly scheduled class. We realize, however, that sometimes events occur that prevent you from attending a class and you may need to schedule a make-up. If this situation should arise, the following policy will be enforced.
• There is a limit of one make-up per session.
• The make-up must be scheduled through the TCT office staff (so that we can control class size) and may be made up in any class of the same level, that has room in it for a make-up.
• In the event that TCT should cancel a class due to the weather or any other reason, we will schedule a make-up for the entire class.

OPEN GYM POLICY

Open gyms are supervised by our coaches. This is a time when children can come and practice what they have been working on in class in a non-structured environment.

• All members and non-members are invited to attend our open gyms. Click here for times and costs.
• Call ahead to confirm times. 763-421-3046
• All nonmembers are required to have a T.C.T. permission slip signed by their parents to participate. Permission slips are available on-line or at the front desk.
• Call office, or answering machine for update on dates for that month.
• Children age 6 years and under need to be accompanied by an adult. The adult must be within an arms reach to supervise the child in the gym. This applies to the entire time the child participates in open gym.
• Due to liability issues, parents of children ages 6 years and above are not allowed in the gym.
• We occasionally cancel open gyms, for holidays, clinics, meets, etc… We suggest you call ahead of time to see if the gym is open. We put information on closings in our weekly highlights, or on our answering machine, if the office is not in.

• Each of your party guests is required to have a T.C.T. permission slip signed by their parents in order to participate. These are available at the front desk or on our website. Please include these in your invitation.
• Suggestions for parents -
  1. Have children wear comfortable clothing, no jewelry, hair pulled back, socks off so they won't be lost in the pit.
  2. Bring a camcorder if you have access to one. The children love to watch themselves over and over again for years.
  3. We do have room for cake & ice cream or time for opening presents.
