Forms And Policies

MAC AGREEMENT RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY FORM

MAC classes and camps require that the MAC Agreement Release and Waiver of Liability form be completed by parents/guardians to give permission to treat children in the event of a medical emergency. At the time of registration, members are required to consent to the agreement. Members are encouraged to periodically review their children’s profiles and update contact information. To update a child’s profile, log in as the child on the website and click “My Profile” from any screen.

Waitlist Policy

Members are waitlisted for a class or camp that has reached maximum enrollment. They receive enrollment priority based on the order in which they are waitlisted for the class. Members are notified via email if a spot has opened, and they now are enrolled. Updates to registration status also can be viewed online at themac.com.

Inclement Weather Policy

Club closure, delayed opening, or opening with limited services is announced to members at least four hours in advance (9 p.m. for the following day). Weather alerts are posted on themac.com homepage and at all entrances as soon as they are announced.

When Portland Public Schools announces closure, early dismissal, or delayed opening due to weather, MAC Child Care, Playschool, and youth classes are canceled or delayed. Coaches determine if a specific sport team practice is canceled and use Team Snap or Team Unify to notify the team directly.

Mac Class Behavior Agreement

All junior members and guests participating in classes are expected to follow club rules. Parents are responsible for their children’s behavior while participating in club activities. To view the entire agreement, which includes expectations and behavior-management techniques that are employed by MAC staff, visit themac.com.
