1. Child and authority

I am the parent or legal guardian authorized to enroll the child identified on the signature form. My signature applies only to the identified child and this version of the agreement. I will disclose any relevant limits on my authority or custody orders. I do not claim to sign for another adult without actual authority.

This agreement covers the academic activities described at enrollment while the child participates under this accepted version. School pickup requires a separate agreement and confirmed arrangement. Materially different activities or risks require appropriate advance information and any additional authorization needed.

2. Activities and foreseeable risks

Activities may include classroom instruction, homework support, group learning, ordinary arts materials, snack, and online tutoring as offered. Risks include falls, collisions, minor injuries, allergic reactions, illness, interpersonal distress, device or connection problems, and loss of belongings. We do not promise an allergen-free environment or a particular academic result.

Higher-risk equipment, off-site excursions, or transportation other than the separately arranged school ride are not automatically authorized by this general description. The Program must identify the activity, safeguards, and permission required before participation.

I understand the reasonably foreseeable risks of the described activities and agree to follow communicated safety rules. Acknowledging risk does not excuse the Program from legal duties, appropriate supervision, or reasonable safety measures.

3. Release — ordinary negligence only

TO THE EXTENT CALIFORNIA LAW PERMITS, I RELEASE TWIN FOREST EDUCATION CENTER AND ITS PERSONNEL ACTING WITHIN THEIR PROGRAM DUTIES FROM CLAIMS ARISING FROM ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE IN CONDUCTING THE DESCRIBED ACTIVITIES. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT LIMITATION OF THE RIGHT TO SUE.

The release does not cover gross negligence, recklessness, intentional misconduct, fraud, abuse or neglect, unlawful discrimination, violations of law that cannot be released, or any other nonwaivable claim. It does not release an unrelated person's conduct or grant permission for undisclosed activities. Any purported release on behalf of a minor applies only to the extent legally effective.

This agreement does not require me to defend or reimburse the Program for a claim simply because my child, another guardian, or an injured person brings it. Responsibility for my own wrongful conduct remains governed by applicable law. No separate waiver of unknown claims under Civil Code section 1542 is included.

4. Health needs and emergency response

I will provide relevant allergy, emergency, and support information and promptly report changes. The Program and I will discuss reasonable accommodations and any individualized care arrangement needed. A diagnosis alone does not establish that participation is unsafe.

In an emergency, staff may call 911 immediately, provide first aid within their training, and arrange emergency transport. Staff should attempt to reach me and listed contacts, but must not delay necessary emergency action while waiting for a reply. I authorize emergency examination and treatment to the extent my authorization is legally effective and a qualified provider determines it necessary.

Routine medication administration requires an agreed written plan, applicable authorization, and appropriately capable staff. Emergency medication needs must be considered individually under applicable law; this clause is not a blanket refusal to provide reasonable assistance. I am responsible for medical costs legally chargeable to me, without waiving a claim against a party responsible for an injury.

Medical information may be disclosed as reasonably necessary to staff responsible for care and to emergency responders, under the Privacy Policy. Electronic safeguards do not replace direct communication of urgent instructions.

5. Supervision and departure

Supervision begins when staff actually accept the child at the agreed location or authorized transportation handoff. It ends at an authorized release or separately approved independent departure. The booked end time and a late fee do not end supervision of a child still in the Program's care.

I will follow arrival and collection procedures in the Emergency Contact and Pickup Authorization. The Program will use reasonable identity and authorization checks and respond to safety concerns. A portal access label does not by itself authorize physical release.

For online tutoring, I provide a suitable physical environment and adult assistance appropriate to the child's needs. The Program remains responsible for its own conduct and reasonable session-access safeguards. Neither party may record a session without the required separate permissions.

6. Conduct and belongings

Staff may interrupt an unsafe activity and contact a guardian. Any continuing exclusion should follow an individualized review and applicable disability protections. Refunds and unused purchases are addressed in the Terms. Staff must not leave a child alone because of misconduct or late pickup.

Avoid bringing valuables or unsafe items. Any inspection or temporary retention of an item must be reasonable, proportionate, and lawful. Loss is not automatically reimbursed, but this does not eliminate liability imposed by law.

7. Separate choices and withdrawal

This document provides no consent for child photography, recordings, shared galleries, advertising, or school pickup. Those require their own applicable permissions. Ask us about insurance or accommodations; this agreement does not certify a particular insurance policy or coverage limit.

I may withdraw future participation authorization by contacting the Program. We will explain the effect on future attendance and applicable purchase terms. Withdrawal does not retroactively change prior events or signed terms and does not waive a nonwaivable right.

8. Signature and agreement record

Before signing, I must be able to read and retain this agreement and the incorporated Emergency Contact and Pickup Authorization. The signature form must identify the child, signer, document version, and signature intent. Typing my name and deliberately submitting the signature is intended as my electronic signature where legally effective. Contact the Program if I need an accessible copy or another signing arrangement.

I have read the release in section 3 and the medical authorization in section 4. I understand that the ordinary-negligence release may limit legal rights. I sign voluntarily for the identified child within my authority.

California law governs, subject to mandatory protections. Disputes follow the accepted Terms. An invalid provision does not expand the scope of any remaining release.

Emergency Contact and Pickup Authorization

This document addresses collection from the Program, not transportation from school. It applies to the child identified on the acceptance record.

1. Contacts and permissions

I will provide a reachable guardian number and at least one other emergency contact, with name, phone, relationship, and preferred contact order. I will tell those people they are listed and update information promptly.

Emergency-contact status is not automatically pickup authorization. Likewise, billing status, a primary-guardian label, or access to a portal record does not establish physical pickup rights. The Program will maintain a current collection authorization and consider applicable legal custody rights and restrictions.

2. Release and identification

Staff will release the child only to a verified person with appropriate authority, or under a separately approved independent-departure arrangement. Staff may require photo identification and additional reasonable verification. A verbal password supplements, rather than replaces, identity and authorization checks.

For someone not already approved, staff must verify a request with a guardian who has authority, using known contact details, and record the authorization before release. A message from an unknown phone or possession of a child's details is not sufficient by itself.

Update the pickup list using the available account controls or contact the Program. For a same-day change, call and obtain confirmation that staff received it. The Program must reconcile changes with any working paper list. Do not assume an unacknowledged message has reached the collection staff.

3. Custody and safety concerns

Provide relevant orders or restrictions promptly. Staff do not resolve custody disputes and may seek appropriate assistance where authority is unclear or there is an immediate safety concern. A report of danger will be assessed even if no court order has yet been provided. Staff may delay release and contact a guardian, emergency services, or authorities when reasonably necessary for the child's safety and consistent with law.

4. Late collection

Collect the child at the scheduled end time. Staff continue supervision until a safe authorized handoff; late fees never purchase abandonment of that duty.

The late-collection fee schedule is:

For example, 25 minutes late results in $25. Additional minutes are counted only when completed.

Staff will attempt available guardian and emergency contacts. If nobody is reachable 15 minutes after the scheduled end, staff may seek appropriate welfare assistance; they may act sooner in an emergency. Repeated lateness, including three incidents in 30 days, may prompt a discussion and future-booking review, with required accommodations considered.

A disclosed fee may be invoiced; a stored card may be charged only under valid payment authorization. We will provide an explanation of an assessed fee on request. A good-faith fee dispute may be raised through the contact details above without giving up applicable payment-dispute rights.

5. Independent departure and acceptance

Independent departure requires separate written guardian authorization accepted by the Program, identifying the child and permitted circumstances. Staff should not release a child independently when a known immediate danger makes that unsafe.

I confirm my information is accurate and that I have read the collection procedure and fees. Acceptance must be recorded with the child, signer, and exact version of this document, whether signed separately or as part of an expressly identified participation package.
