As summer comes to an end and the school year gets underway, we're excited to welcome everyone back to I Flip for another season of learning, growing, and flipping! 🤸‍♀️

Our September newsletter includes important updates on Fall enrollment, Fall & Winter Camp registration, our returning regular class Make-Up Policy, updated E-Check payment and bounce-back fees, Open Gym reminders, our Labor Day closure, and more. We still have spots available in select Gymnastics and Martial Arts classes, so now is a great time to find a class that fits your schedule!

Be sure to read through this month's updates so you don't miss important policy changes, registration opportunities, and upcoming dates. Please note that I Flip will be closed on Monday, September 7th in observance of Labor Day.

We can't wait to see you back in the gym this fall!

🇺🇸 Labor Day Closure — Monday, September 7th

I Flip Gymnastics will be closed for all regularly scheduled classes on Monday, September 7th in observance of Labor Day. Sunday Open Gym on September 6th will not be affected and will run as regularly scheduled at 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM.

Students who miss class due to the Labor Day closure will receive an Open Gym Make-Up Punch Pass in accordance with our Gym Closure Policy. Make-Up Passes can be used toward any of our Sunday Open Gym sessions, held every Sunday at 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM.

🏕️ Fall & Winter Camps Registration Now Open!

Looking for fun, active childcare during your child's school breaks? Our Fall & Winter Gymnastics Camps are the perfect place for kids to stay active, make new friends, and have an unforgettable day at the gym!

Be sure to enroll early—camp weeks fill up quickly!

Our camps are offered during school breaks for BUSD, AUSD, and WCCUSD, making them the perfect solution for holiday breaks, teacher workdays, and other school closures.

From 8:30 AM–4:00 PM, campers enjoy a full day packed with:

🤸 Gymnastics instruction and skill-building
🎨 Themed crafts that keep creativity flowing
🎯 Obstacle courses, games, and team challenges
😊 New friendships and confidence-building activities
💪 Plenty of movement to keep kids active, engaged, and having fun all summer long

📚 Back to Our Regular Make-Up Policy!

Summer was full of vacations, camps, and travel—but now it's time to get back into the school-year routine!

Beginning September 1st, I Flip Gymnastics will resume our Regular Make-Up Policy.

Here's what's changing:

✅ One Open Gym Make-Up Pass per student, per month (regardless of the number of class absences that month)

⏰ Make-up passes must be requested before the missed class or within 7 days after the absence

🎟️ Passes are valid for 30 days from the date of the missed class and may be used at one of our Sunday Open Gym sessions.

Our Summer Absence Policy was designed to help families enjoy summer travel while keeping their child's spot in class. As we return to a more consistent school-year schedule, our regular make-up policy helps encourage steady attendance and continued skill development.

Regular attendance allows students to:

🤸 Build skills consistently from week to week
🌟 Progress safely through gymnastics skill progressions
💙 Develop strong relationships with their coaches and classmates
🎯 Get the most out of their enrollment and class experience

Because many of our classes have waitlists, consistent attendance also helps ensure that class spots are being actively used by students who are participating regularly.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to another great season of learning, growing, and flipping together this fall!

🎟️ Don't Forget to Use Your Open Gym Make-Up Passes!

Have Open Gym Make-Up Passes on your account? Be sure to use them before they expire!

Single class absences: Make-Up Passes expire 30 days from the date of the missed class.
Full-month summer absences (June–August): Students receive a 5-Pack of Open Gym Passes that expire 90 days from the last missed class.

Open Gym sessions are held every Sunday at 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM and are a great way for students to make up missed class time while continuing to practice their skills in a fun, relaxed environment. Bring your friends or siblings to use up those passes before they expire!

Not sure when your passes expire? Just send us an email—we're happy to check your account and help you register for an upcoming Sunday Open Gym session!

Open Gym Reminders:

👉Punching-in ahead of time is not required, but we do have a maximum of 80 kids on the floor per session. If you sign up beforehand, you are guaranteed your spot. While pre-registration is not required, if we reach capacity on the day of Open Gym, we will unfortunately have to turn families away. Signing up in advance ensures your child has a reserved spot and makes check-in quick and easy when you arrive.

When you punch-in online:

Your child's spot is guaranteed!
Your child’s name will already be on our list
No need to write names on the sign-in sheet
You can head straight into the fun!

Sunday Open Gym is all about movement, fun, and community for ALL. Your help with punching in ahead of time truly makes a difference!

I Flip Policy Updates

💳 Payment & E-Check Updates

A quick reminder as we head into the new season! Monthly tuition is automatically processed on the 1st of each month using the approved payment method on your account. If a payment fails, you’ll receive an Outstanding Balance notification and have 7 days to resolve the balance before your student may be unenrolled from active classes.

For families paying by E-Check or bank account, please make sure your account information is current and able to process the payment. Failed E-Check or bank payments may result in a bank bounce-back fee, which will be added to your account balance and is the responsibility of the account holder.

Please take a moment to review your payment information before the next billing date to help avoid failed payments and additional fees!
