WAYA COVID-19 WAIVER FOR PROGRAMS & SPECIAL EVENTS

We value the health and safety of our staff, children and families therefore we are requiring parents to acknowledge our COVID-19 procedures and policies to adhere to until further notice to participate in our programs or special events.

Please read and agree to the statements below.

  1. I understand that my child(ren) and I MUST be free from COVID-19 symptoms, wash our hands upon entering, and wear a mask if required.  While participating in the program or special event I must practice social distancing and remain 3ft from all other people, except for my own child.
  2. I understand that to enter the facility premises my child(ren) and I must be free from COVID-19 symptoms.  If, during the program or special event, any of the following symptoms appear we will be required to leave.

    Symptoms include: any of the bolded symptoms and at least two of the other symptoms
  • Fever of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher (per city of Austin public health)

  • New loss of taste or smell
  • Sore Throat
  • Muscle aches

    While we understand that many of these symptoms can also be related to non-COVID-19 related issues we must proceed with an abundance of caution during this Public Health Emergency.  These symptoms typically appear 2-7 days after being infected so please take them seriously.  You and your child(ren) will need to be symptom free without any medications for 24 hours before returning to the facility.
     
  1. I understand that my child(ren) and I will be required to wash our hands using CDC recommended handwashing procedures throughout the day using running water and rubbing with soap for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer.
  2. I understand that outside of these programs & special events, in order to control my child(ren) & my exposure in the community, I will comply with any and all state, county, local and CDC orders.
  3. I understand and will follow any recommendations from the CDC that limits my child(ren) and my risk for exposure in all public areas and remaining 3ft from all other people.
  4. I will immediately notify WAYA management if I become aware of any person with whom my child or I have had contact exhibits any of the symptoms listed in Number 3 above, is advised to self-isolate, quarantine, or has tested positive, or is presumed positive for COVID-19.
  5. I understand that while participating in WAYA programs or special events, my child(ren) and I will be in contact with children, families and other employees who are also at risk of community exposure.  I understand that no list of restrictions, guidelines or practices will remove 100% of the risk of exposure to COVID-19 as the virus can be transmitted by persons who are asymptomatic and before some people show signs of infection.  I understand that I play a crucial role in keeping everyone in the facility safe and reducing the risk of exposure by following the practices outlined herein.
