Class Placement

Class placement for children 5 & under is primarily done by age.    Class placement for school age children is by age and ability.  Class placement by ability is at the discretion of Jump Start Gymnastics staff.

Class Schedule

Jump Start offers two class schedules throughout the calendar year.  The school year class schedule starts at the end of August and runs through the end of May.  It consists of 36 weeks of scheduled class times.  Registration for school year classes begins late July and is ongoing throughout the school year.  The 10 week summer class schedule starts at the beginning of June and runs through the middle of August.  Registration for summer classes begins late April.  Students usually attend one class one time a week.  Class lengths vary based on the age and skill level of the students. 

Class Cancellations

Inclement Weather: If Jump Start personnel determine it is necessary to cancel classes due to bad weather, cancellations will appear on local TV stations or their websites, our website (www.jumpstartfun.com) and our Facebook page.  Jump Start does not guarantee make up classes for classes missed due to inclement weather. 

If at any time due to weather conditions you do not feel comfortable traveling to Jump Start to attend class, please notify the office and schedule a make up class time. 

Holiday Breaks: Classes will not meet during scheduled holiday breaks.  Please see the yearly schedule for any holiday class cancellations.

Make Up Policy

• Make ups for missed classes are not guaranteed.
• To be eligible for a make up class, the office must be notified in advance if the student is going to miss their original class.
• Make ups must be scheduled in advance by calling or visiting our office.
• Make ups are scheduled in similar classes that do not have the maximum number of students already registered.
• Due to the number of students who participate in classes, we cannot guarantee makeups for missed classes.
• Make up classes must be completed within 30 days of the missed class and the student must be currently enrolled.

Annual Fee

All students/families are required to pay a non-refundable annual registration fee of $35/student or $60/family.  This fee is due at the time of registration and is reassessed annually. If your annual registration fee renewal date falls within the terms of the 2018/19 payment agreement it will be charged on the next auto-payment date with your tuition payment. 

Refund Policy

There are no refunds for class fees except in extreme circumstances. All refunds will be made at the discretion of management.

Once you fill out a drop form, your child will be dropped from the class. Your child can continue to attend all classes for which payment has already been received. You may rejoin classes by contacting the front desk to re-enroll for the remainder of the 2018-19 school year. Class placement will depend on open availability at the time of re-enrollment.

Camera Policy

In following the USAG guidelines, children may not be photographed or filmed and no images of children may be posted publicly or privately without a parent’s written consent in the case of minor children.
