Important Registration Instructions
If the birthday or grade fields are already populated, please do NOT edit those fields. Also, if you get to the “Pay” button but it doesn’t work, look at the top bar where it says questions and waivers. If the questions button is lit up in red, it means you accidentally did not answer at least one of the required questions. Please go back to answer all questions with a red asterisk next to them. If it lights up green and you’ve signed all waivers, the payment button should work. If it does not, please email clubj@atlantajcc.org and we can assist you with registration.

- If the Club J directors decide a child/staff presents symptoms related to COVID-19 (fever greater than 99.5°F, cough, shortness of breath, diarrhea, fatigue, headache, muscle aches, nausea, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, and/or vomiting), the child will be separated from the group until a parent/guardian can pick them up. They will be supervised by an adult from a 6-foot distance.
- Anyone sent home with symptoms of COVID-19 cannot return to Club J until a negative PCR test has been secured. Please email the results to clubj@atlantajcc.org.
What procedure is in place if a staff member or child tests positive for COVID-19?
- If a person who is at Club J (staff or child) gets sick while at Club J we will follow CDC guidelines for isolation until that person leaves the MJCCA. If the diagnosis is positive, we will notify families by email.
- The child/staff member who tests positive for COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status is required to isolate at home for 5 days. If they have no symptoms or their symptoms are resolved after 5 days, they can return to the MJCCA, wearing a mask for 5 additional days. If they have a fever or any other symptoms, they should continue to stay home until the symptoms resolve.
- The cohort containing the child/staff with a positive COVID-19 test:
- If boosted or recently vaccinated (Moderna/Pfizer within 6 mos., J&J within 2 mos.): Wear a mask around others for 10 days, test on day 5. If at any time symptoms become present, do not return to the MJCCA until a negative test has been secured. Please email the results to clubj@atlantajcc.org.
- If not boosted, if vaccinated with Moderna/Pfizer more than 6 mos. ago or with J&J more than 2 mos. ago, or unvaccinated: Quarantine for 5 days, then wear a mask around others for 5 more days. Test on day 5. If at any time symptoms become present, do not return to the MJCCA until a negative test has been secured. Please email the results to clubj@atlantajcc.org
- The MJCCA will work with the Board of Directors, Club J Directors, and local health officials to determine if a full Club J closure is needed for a certain amount of time.
Please note, no refunds will be given for tuition during a temporary class or school closure that lasts 10 days or fewer.
What happens if a child/staff is exposed to COVID -19?
- Direct Exposure is defined as someone who was within 6 feet of an infected person for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period (individual exposures added together over a 24-hour period – e.g., three 5-minute exposures for a total of 15 minutes) starting from 2 days before illness onset (or, for asymptomatic patients, 2 days prior to test specimen collection) until the time the patient is isolated.
- If boosted or recently vaccinated (Moderna/Pfizer within 6 mos., J&J within 2 mos.): Wear a mask around others for 10 days, test on day 5. If at any time symptoms become present, do not return to the MJCCA until a negative test has been secured.
- If not boosted, if vaccinated with Moderna/Pfizer more than 6 mos. ago or with J&J more than 2 mos. ago, or unvaccinated: Quarantine for 5 days, then wear a mask around others for 5 more days. Test on day 5. If at any time symptoms become present, do not return to the MJCCA until a negative test has been secured.
COMMUNICATION: If a person in a cohort has a direct exposure to COVID-19, the cohort will be notified via email that a person in their cohort was in direct contact with someone who tested positive – and we will be in further contact if we learn more details. We request members contact MJCCA about COVID-19 positive results and require staff to contact MJCCA with COVID-19 positive results. Communication will be sent to only the group who had someone with direct exposure.
Do I need to submit any health information for my child?
Parents must certify that that their child is up to date on all required immunizations appropriate for the child’s age. If not, they must provide appropriate documentation for a medical exemption. (Certification by parent or legal guardian required). Only medical exemptions approved by the MJCCA will be allowed.
Will staff receive additional safety training?
Will I need to sign a waiver?
Do you have any behavior guidelines for Club J?
Yes. Children attending our program must:
- Participate safely and willingly with a group of peers in a variety of settings and activities.
- Remain with the group and follow directions provided by staff.
- Cooperate with and respect all staff, other children, MJCCA equipment and facilities.
- Display non-aggressive behaviors.
- Not pose a threat to themselves or others.
Failure to adhere to any of these guidelines will result in immediate dismissal and inability to return, with no refund. More information regarding behavior can be found in the parent handbook. We highly advise reviewing this with your child before the first day. Due to the program modifications made this year as the result of COVID-19, we want all parents to acknowledge that it may not be the best fit for every child. We are unable to tolerate any behavioral issues of any kind for the safety and well-being of all children and staff. Club J behavior guidelines can be found here.
What are your inclusion guidelines?
- Children who participate safely and willingly with a group of peers in a variety of settings and activities
- Children who display non-aggressive behaviors
- Children who can keep their hands to themselves
- Children who don’t pose a threat to themselves or others
- Children who remain with the group and follow directions provided by staff
- Children who understand the difference between right and wrong decisions
Should behavior incidents occur, each participant and incident is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
- What was happening before the incident?
- What are the known challenges for this participant?
- What are the participant’s goals (i.e. social skills, self-regulation, etc.)
Should there be challenges that consistently present themselves, it will be up to the staff discretion whether to put one-to-one facilitation in place or if dismissal is necessary. Should it be determined that facilitation will be require, we encourage all families to provide their own support staff. If you need assistance in this process, we can help you. Please note, if we are able to provide the staff for you, there is an additional charge of $350/week based on a 5 day enrollment schedule. Additionally, it may take some time to get staff hired in our system. Your child will not be allowed to return to the program until this process is completed. While we aim for a 2-week turn around, we have encountered situations where it has been longer.
