Safety Policies
Safety First at Branch Gymnastics!
Please be on time! Each class starts
with a complete warm-up. The warm-up is an essential part of all
sports. A proper warm-up helps prepare the entire body for activity as
well as helping to prevent injury. Classes will begin promptly.
Flexibility, strength, balance, coordination, posture, skill
development, as well as student-teacher interaction all take place
during our structured warm-ups.
- Please have
your child arrive at least 5 minutes before class starts. We ask
that you walk your child into the building for class and that you
walk into the building to pick up him/her after class. For your
child’s safety, students will not be allowed to wait outside the
building.
- All students
must wear the appropriate attire. For gymnastics classes, girls may
wear leotards or shorts and a T-shirt. Hair should be neatly secured
in French braids or a ponytail. No jewelry or tights are allowed.
Boys should wear shorts and a T-shirt or a warm-up. No belts,
jewelry or jeans. For dance and karate, check with your instructors
for appropriate dress code.
- Parents and
guests are always welcome to observe. However, parents, siblings and
guests are not permitted in the gym at any time. If you need
your child, for any reason, please contact the front office and they
will assist you. If you, the parent are enrolled in a parent
participation class or a birthday party, you must sign a waiver to
be allowed in the gym. Thank you for your cooperation!
- Concentration
and class control are very important for safe development. We ask
that family and friends of the students do not distract them at any
time.
- Please help
us keep Branch Gymnastics a safe place by supervising your children.
We ask that no one stand or climb on chairs, cubbies, walls, or
other furniture. No horseplay is permitted in the viewing areas.

leave valuables unattended. Branch Gymnastics is not responsible for
any lost or stolen items.

gum in the gym at any time.

the building.
