WELCOME TO PARAGON GYM FOR KIDS
Thank you for choosing Paragon.  At Paragon we strive to create a place where physical and mental fitness is job one, where building self-confidence and self-esteem happens naturally, and where children can develop an active lifestyle to accomplish these goals.
Paragon Gym for Kids offers gymnastics classes to children of all ages, Ninja class for boys and girls, tumbling for cheer and trampoline classes, boys and girls competitive gymnastics team, homeschool fitness, birthday parties, open gym, summer camps, field trips, and more special events.
To get started, please go online to our website at www.paragongymnastics.com, click on the ENROLL/REGISTRATION button, and create an account. To enroll in class you will need to contact the front desk.

ANNUAL INSURANCE FEE:
All students will be charged a $50 nonrefundable fee. This fee is due each year in the month it was paid. For families with multiple students there is a $100 maximum charge for this fee.
Note: This does not apply to those who only participate in birthday party and/or Open Gym.

TUITION:
Tuition is due in full on the first of the month. Paragon offers an eight-day grace period, after which a $10, per family, late fee is charged to your account. Accounts not paid in full after the first class of the month will receive a phone call checking on your child's status. Accounts not paid in full after the second class will be automatically charged to the credit card on file. If we do not have a credit card on file for you, your child may not return to class until one is provided.  Once one is provided, we will place your account on auto draft for the 1st of each month thereafter for recreational classes. There is a $25 fee assessed to accounts for all returned checks and a $35 fee for declined Credit card payments. (Please see Team Handbook for Team Tuition information)

• Paragon offers three ways to pay:

1. In person at the front desk by check, cash, or credit card.

2. Online through your Parent Portal account. A link to Parent Portal can be found on our website at www.paragongymnastics.com in the upper left-hand corner. If paying online, please make sure to click on 'BILLING & PAYMENTS" after agreeing to payments and the "shopping cart empty" message appears. Your payment will not be processed until you have completed this step.

3. Over the phone by calling 540-548-4966 during normal business hours.

• Tuition for NEW students will be prorated based on their start date.

• Tuition is a monthly tuition rate and is not based on a certain number of weeks within a month. Credits or refunds will not be issued for missed classes or scheduled holiday closings.

• If a student is absent from their first session of the month AND your tuition is unpaid, we will call you to confirm further enrollment. If we do not speak to you directly, and within 48 hours of communication we have not received confirmation from you of further enrollment, your child will be dropped from the class to make the space available for other students.

DROP PROCEDURE:
PARENTS MUST NOTIFY PARAGON TO DROP A STUDENT FROM CLASS. Written or verbal notification must be given to the hospitality desk prior to the last day of the child's current enrollment month.
Please note: You are responsible for payment for your student's classes WHETHER OR NOT YOUR STUDENT ATTENDS CLASS until the time you notify the staff VIA WRITTEN OR VERBAL NOTICE. Please do not rely on your student to verbally let us know that he/she will no longer be attending classes. If a student stops coming to class without notification, then that student's account will be charged for the additional month’s tuition. This charge will be for holding the student's place in that class instead of offering that place to one of the many on a waiting list.

MAKE-UP POLICY:

• To accommodate a growing number of new students on waitlists for class, we will offer a free Open Gym pass for one missed class per month.

• If there is an extended absence due to illness or injury for more than a month, we can put your child on medical hold. Please contact the front desk.

• Make-up Open Gym passes are for missed classes due to injuries or illness. We do not offer make-ups for closings and holidays.

ARRIVAL AND PICKUP:
Be sure your student arrives 5 minutes before (no earlier please) his/her scheduled class time. Please pick up your student on time.
There is NO PARKING OR PICKING UP of children in front of the building due to the fire lane. This is not limited to parking; it also includes stopping and waiting in your car. Please PARK your vehicle in a DESIGNATED PARKING SPACE to walk your child to the entrance door and to pick up your child at the exit door. We are sorry for any inconvenience. We have had several incidents with near misses due to limited visibility because of cars standing in front of the building. Also, we have seen cars ticketed for stopping in the fire lane.

WHAT TO WEAR:

• Boys or girls may wear tucked in T-shirts and shorts OR leotards for girls (however please NO two-piece leotards or crop tops).

• All students will be barefoot on the floor.

• NO chewing gum.

• Hair should be pulled neatly and securely away from the face so that is stays up for the entire workout.

• Girls should not wear bows or other large hair ornaments that may cause discomfort during activity. 

• Personal items should be left in cubby holes.

• Jewelry should not be worn during classes. PLEASE LEAVE JEWELRY ARTICLES AT HOME. This facility's staff will not be responsible for ANY items that may be lost or stolen.

• Be sure your student's personal items are marked with their name.
