Terms of agreement/Waiver

I agree to adhere to all safety protocols as listed below and I will at all times maintain them. I will not leave my child alone at any time and will not ask a teacher to watch my child at any time. 


Outdoor Class Protocols:


To keep everyone safe and to be in compliance with the requirements set forth by the guidelines of 1350 Waller, All Saints church, we ask for your cooperation with our procedures. ALL OF OUR ALL TEACHERS ARE REQUIRED TO BE FULLY VACCINATED AND BOOSTED.

  • All of our teachers are required to be fully vaccinated and boosted.
  • A maximum of 2 adults per family (one or two adults can attend per family).
  • Only enrolled children can attend. 
  • You or the caregiver attending must watch your child and stay with your child at all times and intervene immediately if any unsafe behaviors such as throwing, hitting, etc. occur. 
  • OUTDOORS: Masks are optional for all attendees 
  • INDOORS AT 1350 WALLER: Masks are required for adults only (not for children).

  • Please schedule make-ups. Make-ups require an access code that will be sent out at the beginning of the semester to enrolled families only.
  • We regret to inform you that no refunds are issued after the start of a session for any reason at all. The no-refund policy includes COVID surges, natural disasters, weather, and all unforeseen circumstances – all classes will be online if not in-person.
  • In-person classes may be canceled or moved online at any time. 

BEHAVIOR: 

  • If your child throws a tantrum or is very loud in a way that is distracting to class please take them outside until they have calmed down. When they have calmed down you are welcome to re-join the circle.
  • Please only bring small soft hand-held stuffed animals and small-hand held instruments to keep all of the children safe.
  • No throwing or hitting is allowed. If your child is doing so, please intervene immediately: Take them outside until they have calmed down. When they have calmed down you are welcome to re-join the circle as long as the throwing has stopped.
  • If they are hitting or throwing, please verbally repeat the "no throwing and hitting in music class"  rule to them outside of class AND during class.
  • If there is a threat to our safety, we reserve the right to cancel your registration.
