The undersigned parent(s) or legal guardian(s) (“Parent”) grants permission for their son or daughter (“Child”) to participate in Seattle Church of Christ’s weekly activities (“Activities”) from October 2024 through October 2025. Specifically, this waiver is for all weekly activities; this means Sunday morning activities and Wednesday evening activities that will take place at 2555 8th Ave W, Seattle, WA 98119, the immediate vicinity and any rental facility we rent. This includes, but is not limited to, events that may occur following church services as well as any outside events taken place in the homes of other middle school parents. These activities include, but are not limited to, Halloween parties, Friendsgiving, Christmas parties, hiking and pool parties. Because children in the Middle School Ministry are older and more mature and therefore do not face the same risk as younger, smaller children of being abducted or taken from the classroom by an unauthorized person, the children in the Middle School Ministry do not need to be signed into their classrooms by a parent or guardian; however, the teachers in the Middle School Ministry classes shall keep a record of attendance documenting the date and names of children in attendance in their classroom. You acknowledge by signing this annual waiver that attendance forms are not necessary for middle school ministry activities occurring away from the Church’s worship service. Parent expressly understands that participation in indoor or outdoor strenuous or otherwise physical activities involves risks of property damage, injury or death that no amount of care, caution instruction or expertise can eliminate. Weather and conditions can shift and change without notice. As such, even diligent effort cannot account for outdoor activities such as those that will take place. These dangers include, but are not limited to, variations in terrain and surface conditions, falls, loss of control, collisions with other individuals or with natural and man-made objects. In other words, there are inherent risks associated with the Activities that Parent acknowledges and accepts, as noted above. The Parent grants permission to SCOC and its employees and agents to seek and secure any medical attention or treatment for the Child including hospitalization, if in the agent’s opinion such need arises and SCOC is unable to contact the Parent. The Parent gives consent to any licensed physician to administer drugs or medicine or to perform such medical procedures as that physician determines necessary for the relief of pain and to preserve the Child’s life or health. Additionally, Parent hereby grants permission for SCOC or its agents to administer basic medical treatment in the event such need arises, including the administration of over-the-counter medications. The Parent agrees to assume the responsibility for all medical, transportation, rescue and other related expenses incurred on behalf of the Child.
