PARENT HELPER GUIDELINES

ActivStars Athletics takes great steps to provide a safe place and the best -uninterrupted learning environment that we can.
WE WANT TO STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE CLASS/PRACTICE 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 YELLOW PARENT HELPER sign-in sheet before assisting in class/practice
*  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 reinforcements 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 the 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.

HELPFUL TASKS TO ASSIST DURING INSTRUCTION

*  DOOR GUARD: Primary duty is to effectively guard all exits, do not allow students to leave the facility unless with a parent or guardian.
*  Keep a helpful eye on students, look for students who may have to use the bathroom or students who may be getting sick. Watch for dangerous situations and advise the instructor/coach immediately.
*  Help with lining up students and preparing students for instruction.
*  Watch instructors teaching gear and belongings.
*  Help to keep the facility clean and parents in their designated areas to wait for pick-up. Assist with putting the facility back in order at the end of the day/night.
*  Help with holding BODY SHIELDS, etc.

**  Any further questions,  concerns, or comments should be directed to your instructor or coach.
