| READ THE NEWSLETTER!! |
IT
IS OUR PRIMARY MEANS OF COMMUNICATING
WITH YOU. SCHEDULING, IMPORTANT
INFORMATION, STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS,
AND SO MUCH MORE ARE IN THE
NEWSLETTER. A COPY IS GIVEN
TO EACH CHILD AT THE END OF
THEIR CLASS DURING THE FIRST
WEEK OF EACH SESSION, BUT IF
IT DOESN'T MAKE IT'S WAY HOME
TO YOU, YOU CAN PICK UP A COPY
AT THE FRONT DESK OR READ IT
ONLINE AT DESERTLIGHTSGYMNASTICS.NET
|
| CLASS INSTRUCTORS |
EVEN THOUGH IT MAY SEEM, AT FIRST, THAT
YOUR CHILD HAS SEVERAL DIFFERENT
INSTRUCTORS, EACH CLASS WILL
HAVE IT'S OWN INSTRUCTOR (EITHER
ONE OR TWO). HOWEVER, EACH FALL,
WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF HIRING
AND TRAINING NEW COACHES. ALL
OF OUR COACHES ARE TRAINED IN
THE USA GYMNASTICS PROGRAM AND
THE DESERT LIGHTS METHOD OF
IMPLEMENTATION, REGARDLESS OF
THEIR EXPERIENCE. DESERT LIGHTS
HAS OVER 12 YEARS EXPERIENCE
IN PRODUCING TOP GYMNASTICS,
CHEERLEADERS, DANCERS, AND PERFORMING
ARTISTS WITH OUR EXCELLENT,
HIGHLY TRAINED STAFF.
|
| PROCEDURES FOR
TAKING CLASS |
|
STUDENTS SIT IN THE WHITE BOX IN FRONT
OF THE BIKES TO WAIT TO BE CALLED
OUT FOR WARM-UP. THERE IS NO NEED
TO CHECK IN UNLESS YOU ARE DOING
A MAKE UP, INSTRUCTORS WILL CHECK
STUDENTS IN. PARENTS MAY WAIT
UPSTAIRS OR LEAVE AND RETURN AT
THE END OF CLASS. FOR SAFETY,
THERE IS NO WAITING DOWNSTAIRS,
ON THE STAIRS, OR INSIDE IN FRONT
OF THE DOOR. THIS AREA MUST BE
KEPT CLEAR FOR ATHLETES AND COACHES
AS PER FIRE DEPARTMENTS RULES
AND USA GYMNASTICS.
