Drop-off/Pick-up

• Twinklers, Mini-Ninjas, Rainbows, Unicorns, & Superstars will do BOTH Drop-off and Pick-up at the green door on the north side of the building off of parking lot. *Please do not block this doorway and please wear a mask if you cannot socially distance 6 ft from other parents, students, and teachers.
• All other classes will be dropped off at the white tent near the picnic tables in front of the building on Washington. It is best if you do not park in the spots out front. The first car pulls up to the picnic tables and all other cars pull behind that car. Please wait your turn and DO NOT get out of your cars. FIVE MINUTES before the start of your child's class, coaches will approach your cars to do a temperature scan and sanitize your child's hands. Keeping with the safety standards we are implementing here at Gemini, there are no early drop offs.
• Check out how Gemini is staying SAFE & FUN!

We are choosing to use a different entrance and exit in order to maintain social distancing standards. We ask that you please refrain from standing or "hanging out" near these drop-off and pick-up spots.

At this point and time, we are not rescheduling missed classes. Per our Rules & Policies, we will credit up to one class missed per month after the second missed class.

No! Once you enroll your child, that is his/her spot until your schedule changes and you need to make adjustments. Please email the Front Desk with your class changes.

• DRESS CODE
  • The Dress Code at Gemini Gymnastics Academy has been put into place for the safety and protection of students and staff.

   

  • Bare feet are best! If socks must be worn for medical reasons, they must have grips on the bottom.

  • All hair must be secured up & away from face (without hard headbands or barrettes.)

Check to ensure that your child’s mask fits over their nose & mouth and will stay in place without falling down exposing their mouth or sliding up over their eyes. If an acceptable mask is forgotten, we will provide one and your account will be charged $3.

We do not offer "Free" trial classes, however if you are interested in trying the class before you sign up,  you can call the Front Desk to sign up your child for a one day class.

We understand this & we will need the help & cooperation of all Gemini families to keep everyone safe. If your child cannot use hand sanitizer, we can have them wash their hands with soap & water for 20 seconds before class outside & upon finishing class.

For the time being, the lobby will be closed. We ask that parents drop-off and pick-up their kids at the designated spots.

Our traffic flow for students is to travel in one door, through the gym & out a separate exit to facilitate one direction movement eliminating congestion upon entry & exit. Rotation schedules have been made so groups are rotating safely around the gym.

Additional preventative upgrades to our facility include touchless bathroom faucets, soap dispensers & hand dryers.

With regard to air quality, we followed in the footsteps of D102 La Grange, who is leading the way in student safety in the Chicago suburbs. Gemini purchased 9 commercial grade air purifiers from Air Oasis that are being used in D102. We have been using these air purifiers at Gemini for the last month.

To maintain fresh air flow in the gym 4 air intake units have been installed on our roof. These air intakes will provide a complete replenishment of fresh air in the gym over the course of 64 minutes.

Cooperation of all staff, students & families by maintaining good hand & environmental hygiene, maintaining physical distancing, and following policies and procedures is the best we can offer.

Families that have elderly members, &/or members, with underlying health issues need to make educated decisions regarding their student’s participation in activities as there may be asymptomatic individuals that do not know they are COVID-19 positive.

For 15 years we have taken great pride in the fact that our gym does not smell like a gym. Gemini does not have “magic mats” that smell good as some students have recounted. The reason our gym does not smell is simple, it is because we clean it all the time!

We will be maintaining the high Gemini standards that you know & love by cleaning using only CDC approved cleaning products that are on the EPA’s List of Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19 and are proven to kill 99.9% of bacteria & viruses on all surfaces throughout our entire facility.

One product we use is Force of Nature which provides hospital-grade disinfecting & sanitizing while being non-toxic & hypoallergenic. Force of Nature has been given the highest rating by SkinSafe, the Mayo Clinic's rating system for product safety for skin allergies.
