I understand that the advertised benefits of learning chess (improved grades, concentration, ability to calculate, etc.) will only be realized by my student if they stick with chess and learn and grow in it regularly for more than a year.

I understand that my child's progress and success in this program depends on their regular participation and engagement.

I will ensure that they attend all meetings and that they complete all assigned chess homework assignments unless there is an unavoidable conflict. 

I give my permission for my child to be photographed and/or video recorded during chess program activities. I further allow for the reproduction of these media to be used in educational and/or promotional materials produced by Learners. I understand that neither my child’s name nor any other identifying information will appear with the photographs. Further, I understand that neither I nor my child will receive any compensation for the use of these photographs.

If for any reason you cannot agree with any part of this this release, please email your child's name, the dates of the program for which they are signed up, and your objection to learnerschess@gmail.com after completing this form and we will make note of it on your child's registration manually.

I understand that they posted schedule for this program may need to change due to unforeseen circumstances. 

I agree to check my email for announced schedule changes.

I agree to be held financially responsible for this registration. Further, I agree to the following terms:

Cancellation Policy (when paying in full):

I agree that if I pay in full and then cancel this membership before the memberships scheduled end date, a service fee of $50 will be deducted and the monthly rate of months completed including the current month when the cancelation is requested will be deducted from my initial payment at the full advertised rate before I receive a refund. 

Cancellation Policy (when paying monthly):

I agree that once my payment is made for a month of membership that I will not be refunded that month's payment. I understand that I can cancel my student's membership at any time by logging into my jumbula account and processing the cancelation there. I understand that payments for this membership are automatically deducted 4 days prior to the first day of each month. 

I understand that, while logged into any Learners Chess Online programs or activities, my child is expected to demonstrate good behavior by respecting their coaches and classmates.

In any open chat, my child is expected to only send positive/value-adding messages and not extraneous messages with symbols or exaggerated typing.

I understand that repeated misbehavior in the chat and/or in any video conferencing by my child may result in him or her being suspended from a day or more of Learners Chess programs.

I understand that the many variants of the novel corona-virus may exist in New Mexico and that participation in a program with other people increases the risk of virus transmission. 

I accept this risk of my child's participation in Learners Chess Academy programs and events. 

I commit to regularly monitor my child's health and to keep them home if they are showing any symptoms of any possible contagious disease. 

I also commit refrain from sending my child to Learners Chess programs if I am aware that any of member of our household has been known to have or have had contact with someone who is known to be infected with any strain of the corona-virus. 

I agree to be held financially responsible for this registration. Further, I agree to the following terms:
Cancellation Policy:
Cancellations more than 14 days prior to the start of a program will result in a $25 fee. Cancellations within 14 days of the start of a program may result in a $45 fee. Cancellations within 72 hours of a program’s start may result in you being held financially responsible for the full advertised price of the class. (When we have a group registered, we must plan for that group and hire the number of coaches needed.)

Transfer Policy:

We understand plans change you and may need to transfer weeks. All transfers must be made at least 72 hours before the start of a program. When transferring from one week of a program to another, current early bird prices will be applied. So if you register for a program and get the lowest early bird price but then transfer to a different week a month later, when the second or third level of early bird prices are in effect, you may be charged the difference in price for the transfer.

Sign-in / out:

All students must be signed in or out by a parent or designated adult. For AM programs, I understand that I or a designated adult will be required to walk the child into the building and sign them in. For PM programs, I understand I am required to sign them out unless I have indicated otherwise on their registration. (Walk home, after-school program, etc)

I further understand that my child will only be released to the people who I have designated on this registration and that any person listed to pick up my child must be prepared to show a photo ID.

I agree to notify Learners Chess Academy in writing of any changes to my child's pick-up information.

I understand that I must pick up my child from chess club at the indicated time.

I further understand that if my child is picked up later than 5 minutes after chess ends, I will be charged and I agree to pay up to $1 per minute late that my child is picked up, beginning from the scheduled end time for chess club.

I understand that, while at in person Learners Chess programs, my child is expected to demonstrate good behavior by listing to their coaches, respecting others, their belongings, and our facility & our staff.

I understand that Learners Chess coaches will work to coach my students' misbehavior, but that ultimately Learners Coaches have full discretion to discipline my child by issuing them a time out or sending them home.

I further understand that repeated misbehavior by my child may result in him or her being suspended from a day or more of Learners Chess programs.

I agree to be held financially responsible for any equipment or property that my child damages during the course of chess camp with Learners Chess.

I authorize a licensed physician or medical treatment center to treat my child in case of an emergency. In the event of an emergency in which neither parent/legal guardian can be reached, I authorize Learners' coaches to arrange ambulance transport for my child to a facility for medical treatment. I assume full financial responsibility for any medical transport, attention or treatment provided.

If you do not agree to any part of this release, please email learnerschess@gmail.com with your objection.

I understand the Learners Chess Coaches are not responsible for administering medications to my child. 

Exceptions are made for life-saving medications such as Epi-pens or Albuterol inhalers as outlined in a student's emergency action plan.

Lockdown:

A lockdown is ordered by police or school officials when a dangerous person is on or near a campus.

During a lockdown:

Bathrooms, cafeteria doors, office doors, and gates are locked.
Students are moved out of the hallways and into the nearest classrooms immediately.
They must stay in those rooms until they are cleared to leave by public safety personnel.
Students and staff are kept away from doors and windows.
All doors are closed and locked to protect students and staff from the threat.
All blinds are closed. Lights are kept on.
Attendance is taken.
Everyone remains quiet.

Shelter-in-Place:

Shelter-in-Place is similar to a lockdown, except that the students and staff are allowed to move around inside their classroom. They are allowed to have organized and supervised restroom breaks, medical attention, food, and water if necessary. No one is allowed in or out of the building.

Students are allowed to continue their studies in a supervised classroom that is locked and secure. All students are physically supervised during a shelter-in-place.

In the event of a Lockdown or Shelter in place, please contact your district's Security Department:

APS Police: (505) 243-7712
RRPS Security: (505) 891-5335 x51370

Please indicate below that you understand lockdown procedures that Learners Chess Academy follows.

I agree to have my child in attendance for this tournament at the specified time or to email or call with cancellation at least 24 hours before the tournament is set to begin.
I further understand that because my registration is reserving one of a limited number of spots for my child, if I cancel less than 72 hours before the tournament, I may be held financially responsible for this registration.

I have registered and provided my child's uschess.org membership number on the previous form (if not, please sign your child up for a uschess.org membership and then go back to the previous form and enter their US Chess ID number).

Or...

My child is signed up for bughouse only and, thus does not need a US Chess membership for this tournament.
