FREE TRYOUT CLASS: Available for new students not enrolled in the program.  This gives your child the opportunity to participate and experience a class and our gymnastic instruction.

REGISTRATION FEE
: Is due once a year and non-refundable.  $40.00 1st child, $35.00 2nd child, $30.00 3rd child, the fee for a fourth child will be waived.  Team registration fees are different.  Please refer to your team handbook.

TUITION
: Is non-refundable.  Due on the 1st of the month.  If you pay your tuition before the 1st of the month you will receive a $5.00 discount.  A 5% discount is given when you pay for the entire session.  A $10.00 late fee is due after the 8th of the month.  A $15.00 late fee is due after the 15th of the month.  Late fees increase accordingly.  Tuition for the full session is divided into equal monthly installments and does not vary due to holidays.  A statement will be mailed to you if your tuition is not paid in a timely manner and remains delinquent.  Continued failure to respond will result in an automatic drop for your child.

MAKE UP CLASS
: Make-ups are given for illness or injury and must be made up within 30 days of the missed class.  You must call in advance to schedule your make-up and call 24 hrs. prior to reschedule or cancel your make-up when possible.  If you have not notified us and your child missed their make-up class; it will be considered made-up.

DROP
: A written 30 day notice is required.  You must notify the front office.  If tuition is not received by the 15th and we have not been notified by you, and your child hasn’t been in class; it is assumed that your child has dropped.  Failure to notify us will result in (you) the customer being billed for the full month’s tuition.  Remember: Tuition pays for your child’s placement in a class whether or not they attend.

WAITING LISTS
: Waiting lists are established when a class is full or a new class is beginning.  Every effort is made to place your child in a class as soon as one becomes available.

RETURNED CHECK FEE
: You will be charged $30.00 for a returned check.  If we receive more than one NSF from the same customer; that customer will be required to pay by credit card or cash only.

MEDICAL NEEDS
: KIPS request that you inform the office staff of any medical condition, illness, or special need your child may have.  We need to document this information on their registration card along with emergency contact information, and inform their coach.  It is best we receive this information at the time of registration.

ATTIRE
: Girls are required to wear their hair tied up during class.  Please make sure you bring scrunchies or hair ties for your child.  Girls may wear leotards, uni-tards, t-shirts and shorts for gymnastics or tumbling, and boys may wear t-shirts and shorts.  NO jewelry, buttons, snaps, or zippers are to be worn during class.

SIBLINGS
: Children not enrolled in a class should remain seated and are not allowed on the gym floor.  We ask that parents supervise their children and ask that you pick up after your children before leaving the gym.  KIPS is not responsible for any lost or stolen items.  We do not check the gym every night for items left behind.  If we find something we will put it in our "lost and found" area.  We only keep it for a limited time.  If we do not hear from you in a month; your child’s items may be donated to KCM.

EVENTS
: Events are usually scheduled on Friday nights; sometimes Saturday mornings.  For some events a child may be 3 and above; for others they must be 5 and above.  Current member’s tuition must be paid before your child/children may participate.  Guests welcome.

WAIVER FORMS
: All guests or non-members must fill out a waiver form before participating in an event.  You may attend more than one.  We always keep them on file and they are good for one year.

ALL inquiries must go through the front office staff to prevent any misunderstanding or misinformation.
ALL children must remain in the gym until they are picked up by a parent or guardian.
NO food or drinks are allowed on the gym floor or any equipment at any time.
