COVID-19 DISCLAIMER

I understand that the teachers and staff at ALL ABOUT SPANISH will make every effort to maintain social distancing but that there will be times when incidental contact and less than prescribed physical distancing may occur. I understand that I am voluntarily allowing my child to participate in classes offered by Norma Vetell at ALL ABOUT SPANISH, knowing that it is impossible to keep her, myself or anyone else who enters the building completely safe from exposure to the Covid-19 virus. I accept that risk. I understand that if there is a positive case link to one of our students/staff, the classes on the day that student/staff attended will be closed and students will switch to remote learning for 5-10 days.
