Enrollment Policy
To enroll in a class each family is required to have credit/debit card information on file.
- For your convenience, Apex Gymnastics electronically stores your credit card number in accordance with legislated procedures.
- Enrollment at Apex consists of an annual membership fee of $35 per child, which covers a 12-month period, will be billed annually on your anniversary date and are non-refundable. To receive member benefits, dues and tuition must be up-to-date and students must be currently enrolled in classes. Membership benefits include discounted tuition, discounted fees on camps, birthday parties, open play and open gym. These fees are non-refundable and non-transferable to other persons.
- Once you start your child in our program, by paying membership and tuition, we consider your child enrolled. This means that your child automatically remains enrolled in their classes into ALL future months. Enrollment in Apex classes is continuous from session to session until Apex receives a written drop notice to un-enroll.
Monthly Billing Sessions:
- Apex Gymnastics operates on 12 consecutive four-week sessions, so every billing cycle reflects 4 weeks of classes.
- Please note that our four-week sessions do not necessarily correspond with months (some sessions start at the end of a month or a week or two into a month) You may obtain our "Monthly Billing Sessions" calendar at the front desk to view how our billing cycles are structured for the entire year.
- Holiday closures and breaks are listed on our session calendar that can be obtained at our office.
- Please make sure to double check the session dates. The session dates (not the day of the month) determine when tuition is due, when notification of drops are due, and when late fees are applied.
Zoom class Details:
Welcome to Apex Gymnastics classes at Online! Thank you for your continued participation and we hope your gymnasts continue to work hard on their conditioning both during classes as well as on their own. These classes are designed to maintain the student's conditioning and flexibility. They are also designed to prepare for skills specifically at their level. For these classes, we break down each skill and focus on the key elements of body position.
Upon your completed enrollment in the class, you will have access to the link and password for the Zoom class in your Parent Portal Dashboard view under "My Schedule" under the Class Card, the meeting id will be in blue.
These classes are open for our members and we welcome new clients as well.
Online Class Policy:
Please log in 5 min before the start time so we can start on time.
Class Attire: please ensure your gymnast is wearing a leotard/shorts/t-shirt/tights and their hair is secure away from their face (such as a ponytail). No food/eating during our online class.
Parent Supervision:
Preschool: We require a parent to be with their gymnast at all times during our class
Recreational/Team: We ask for at least one parent per group to be present through the entire class workout It would be very beneficial if you log in to the Zoom meeting with you child's name and class level, so the instructors can engage directly with you gymnast by name.
Disclaimer: Please help ensure your gymnast is practicing in an open and safe area, away from any furniture or other people in order to avoid injury. Your gymnast should have plenty of open space to participate in our class. Large objects including furniture should be far away, enough to ensure safety and avoid injuries. Remember to do only as much as you can at your own pace while following our classes.

Camp Policies
Summer Camp Santa Clara Health Department Guidelines
Note that per Santa Clara County CDC guidelines, we are now able to serve all children, regardless of employment and business status. Children may not move from one program to another more often than every 3 weeks. This means that, for instance, if a child attends a week-long summer camp program, that child is not allowed to attend another summer camp or childcare program for two more weeks. It also means that children cannot attend two camps simultaneously, or attend a summer camp and also another kind of recreational group or childcare program.
Payment
We will require a $100 deposit to secure your child's summer camp placement at the time of sign up. This deposit is refundable if camp is cancelled due to a county health order. Balance due will be billed 3 days before the camp begins.
Late Pick Up Policy
Due to the current restrictions and the Santa Clara County Public Health guidance, we will NOT be able to accommodate late pick-ups. The latest pick-up time for our morning camp is 12:50pm and the evening camp is 5:35PM as the camp will promptly end at 12:45pm (morning) and 5:30pm (evening session). If your child is not picked up on time, the late pick-up policy of $1 per minute will be applied and charged to your account.
I've read the above and agree.
