BEFORE COMING TO CLASS
* Parents please be sure to check in online prior to coming to class every week
** You will not need to do this for the first class, as students are automatically checked in when you register
** Online Check-In can be done through the ActivStars App or on the ActivStars Athletics Website (the link is in my signature below)
* Parents please check in with the class secretaries upon arrival every week. If they are not checked in in person, then they will be marked absent.
** This is to ensure proper attendance for each student
* Please be sure to read the Parent Helper Guidelines below if you would like to participate as a Parent Helper

PARENT HELPER
Parents/Guardians can come to class to watch by becoming a Parent Helper. Please sign the Yellow Sheet at the check-in desk in order to become a Parent Helper. Please read the Parent Helper Guidelines.
--------------------------
PARENT HELPER GUIDELINES
* If you sign in as a Parent Helper, then you will be required to assist with class/practice. Parent Helpers are NOT allowed to sit down and merely observe the class. If we allow this, then other parents will view this as unfair.
* Please sign the Parent Helper sign-in sheet before assisting in class/practice.
* Please do NOT bring other children to class - (i.e., a younger sister or brother)!
* Parent Helpers AT NO TIME may discipline students, always alert the instructor or Coach to problems. ALWAYS BE COURTEOUS & POLITE WHEN TALKING WITH STUDENTS & PARENTS.
* Please use a calm and reassuring tone of voice while talking to students.
* Use positive reinforcement towards students. Example "Good job, you're doing very well!" Never "belittle a student."
* Parent Helpers must always go in pairs when escorting students to bathrooms. If no other parent helpers are available have the class secretary or advanced student assist you.
* Please be as quiet as possible during class/practice, noisy helpers will be asked to wait outside.
* Parent Helpers at no time may get into inventory/merchandise, drop box, or class materials without consent of the instructor or coach.
* Please dress in appropriate clothing to assist. Example, do not wear bikini tops, miniskirts, T-shirts with foul language, etc.
