LIABILITY / EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE / PHOTO RELEASE / LATE PICKUP POLICY
Forefront Arts provides classes and training at the exclusive risk of the participants. It is strongly recommended that students are covered by their own family insurance policy. Forefront Arts is not responsible for any damage or loss to personal property or injury suffered during any associated event or activity. Your response below indicates full acceptance and understanding of this liability waiver and all Forefront Arts policies.
I understand and agree that in participating in any performing arts program or recreational activity, there is a possibility of physical injury. I voluntarily agree, therefore, to assume all risks and responsibility for any such injury or accident, which might occur to me or my child during any classes or activities held by Forefront Arts. I also exempt, release, and indemnify Forefront Arts, and their owners, agents, volunteers, assistants, employees, guest artists, faculty members, and/or students from any and all liability claims, demands, or causes of action whatsoever from any damage, loss, injury, illness, or death to me, my children, or property which may arise out of or in connection with participation in any classes or activities conducted by the afore mentioned parties. I further hereby voluntarily agree to waive my rights and that of my heirs and assigns to hold the afore mentioned parties liable for such damage, loss, injury, or death. I understand that I should be aware of my physical limitations and agree not to exceed them. If I am signing this waiver for my children, I certify that I am the parent or legal guardian and have the right to waive these rights.
I understand that I am responsible for any damages caused by my child to the host location, Forefront Arts property, or the property of another student. I give permission to Forefront Arts to authorize any medical attention needed to my child/student in the event of a medical emergency.
I hereby authorize and consent that Forefront Arts shall have the absolute right to copyright, publish, or use any and all photographic portraits or pictures, videotapes and/or sound recordings, or any part thereof, they have taken or made of my child, or in which my child may be included in whole or in part.
Forefront Arts is not a licensed child care facility. I understand that Forefront Arts is not required to be licensed by the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning and this program is exempt from state licensure requirements.
I understand that late fees will be charged to my account if I am late picking up my child after their class (grace period of 5 minutes and then $1/minute), out of respect for the instructor's time.
HEALTH & WELLNESS /COVID / Illness Policy:
Students and Immediate Family Members are fully aware of the risks and hazards with respect to COVID-19, or any other viruses, seasonal illnesses or other health risks inherent in their participation in Forefront Arts programs. Students and Immediate Family Members freely and voluntarily agree to assume the risk with respect to COVID-19, or any other viruses, seasonal illnesses, or other health risks, including the risk of death, bodily injury or property damage, regardless of severity, that they may sustain as a result of their participation in Forefront Arts activities. No refunds or credits will be given for students who cannot participate in-person while they are ill, but every attempt will be made to include the child when they are well enough to participate in-person again.
PARENT AND STUDENT BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS
Forefront Arts strives to provide a nurturing environment for all its participants. To ensure that each student feels safe and comfortable during class, rehearsal or lessons, we have a zero-tolerance policy for inappropriate behavior that may cause physical or emotional harm to students and instructors in the class. Teachers reserve the right to dismiss any child from a class due to discipline problems. The misuse of social media to cause harm to other students is considered inappropriate behavior. Repeated behavioral problems with a student or any parent behavior deemed inappropriate may result in permanent dismissal of the student from the studio.
PROCEDURES FOR DEALING WITH INAPPROPRIATE STUDENT BEHAVIOR:
Step 1: If a rule is broken, a staff member will first verbally tell the student to stop the inappropriate behavior.
Step 2: If the inappropriate behavior persists, a staff member will remove the student from the activity or situation and call for Forefront administration to address the situation with the student.
Step 3: If the inappropriate behavior persists, the parents will be called and notified of the situation and asked to speak with their child over the phone.
Step 4: If the inappropriate behavior continues, parents will be called to remove the child immediately. Forefront administration may allow the child to return the following week, or the child may be removed from our program.
Forefront Arts reserves the right to jump to Step 4 and remove a student if it is deemed to be in the best interest of the Forefront Arts program or for safety of other staff and students. Immediate dismissal of a student may result from severe infractions. For example, physical violence of any kind towards another student or staff member is grounds for immediate dismissal. No refunds or credits will be given for students removed for disciplinary reasons.
PARENT BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS
Forefront Arts strives to provide a nurturing and positive environment for all members of the community, including staff, volunteers, parents, and host location personnel. In the case of any questions or concerns about a Forefront company policy, communication, or interaction with staff or other clients, please contact our admin staff directly to schedule a meeting to address your concerns. Threatening or harassing Forefront staff, whether verbally or in writing, will result in immediate dismissal from our studio. If we feel that our studio cannot serve your family well due to repeat complaints about our policies or repeat negative interactions with staff or other clients, we reserve the right to dismiss a family from our studio at any time.
I understand that every family must agree to the Behavior Expectations to participate in a Forefront Arts program, and failure by the student or parent to comply with Behavior Expectations may result in dismissal without refund. I understand that physical violence of any kind towards a fellow student or staff member is grounds for immediate dismissal.
