COVID-19 NOTICE
 

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is highly contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing.
Arena STEM has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19;
however, Arena STEM cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending the Center could increase your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19.
 

RELEASE

By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending Arena STEM and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the Arena STEM may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, Arena STEM employees and program participants and their families. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my or my child(ren)’s attendance at Arena STEM or participation in Arena STEM programming.
