Covid-19 Updates and Important Information

Effective July 27, 2021:

COVID-19 VACCINE REQUIRED FOR ALL STAFF AND PARTICIPANTS

Due to the recent significant rise in covid-19 cases, with the majority of people diagnosed being those who are not fully vaccinated*, ALL STAFF AND PARTICIPANTS are required to be fully vaccinated before the start of a session for the foreseeable future. Please provide a copy of your covid-19 vaccine card when you submit your paperwork. If you are not currently fully vaccinated*, but you are planning to become vaccinated prior to your session, please let us know.

*Please note that fully vaccinated means two weeks have passed after receiving the second dose of either the Moderna or the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine OR two weeks have passed after receiving the Johnson & Johnson/Jensen vaccine.

We recognize that currently, participants under the age of 12 are not eligible to receive any of  the covid-19 vaccines. Safety is our top priority, and we regret that we will not be able to serve this particular age group at this time. We are hopeful that we will be able to change this policy in the future if there is a lower risk of infection in our area.

If you have registered for a session, but you are not planning or able to receive the vaccine before the start date, please contact Kim Nguyen at [email protected] or 408-243-7861, ext. 214, and we will issue a full refund of your registration deposit and any fees already paid.
