Additional Questions

  • I agree to respect the privacy of other members by not sharing the membership directory or the information with non-members.

  • I hereby assume all risks of retaining a tutor through REACH Kzoo and having my children attend REACH Kzoo classes at Lighthouse Community Church.

  • I agree to hold REACH Kzoo board, tutors, families, and/or Lighthouse Community Church harmless of any claim arising out of the use of the organization or facility by my family.

  • I understand that I am ultimately responsible for the safety of my child at the Lighthouse Community Church. I understand that I am expected to be onsite and available for my children under the age of 10 unless they are taking a class. If my child is not in a class, I understand that they are not allowed to be in the building or on the playgrounds unattended and that siblings can not fulfill that role. I understand that I may choose to have another adult be the responsible party for my child/children, and I will submit to the REACH Kzoo Board a completed and signed Designation of Responsible Adult Form to release all care to the designated supervising adult of my choice. I understand if I do not follow this rule, someone will contact me by phone one time. If I disregard this rule again, my family’s participation at REACH Kzoo co-op may be jeopardized.

  • I understand that I am responsible for the supervision and transportation to/from any/all REACH Kzoo activities (ie. field trips, park days, teen events, classes, etc.) for the child(ren) named in my registration. 

  • In the event of an emergency requiring medical treatment, I hereby grant permission for my child to receive any required medical or dental care and, if necessary, be transported for emergency care until such time as I can be contacted. I will be responsible for any charges not covered by insurance. The above permissions are granted unless I have signed a waiver stating I do not want my child transported unless emergency personnel determine that it is a life-threatening condition that warrants emergency transport. 

  • I agree to pay membership fees and understand any outstanding debts or expenses due to any damage caused by myself or my child(ren) must be paid before I am able to register myself or my child(ren) for any future classes and/or events.

  • I understand I am contracting with each tutor individually and it is my job to develop a parent-tutor relationship and that REACH Kzoo Board does not supervise this relationship. 

  • I will support the tutor’s authority in the classroom.
