**   I grant permission for my child to use all of the play equipment, including, but not limited to, the indoor play rooms and outdoor equipment.  I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HERITAGE HOME SCHOLARS and any host facility and/or agents of HERITAGE HOME SCHOLARS any host facility  from any and all lawsuits, damages, claims, judgments, losses, expenses or liability arising if I or my child is injured in any way.

**   I grant permission for me or my child(ren) to be included in pictures that may be used in connection with HERITAGE HOME SCHOLARS materials, including, but not limited to the yearbook and website.

**   I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HERITAGE HOME SCHOLARS, its elected and appointed officers, teachers, agents, employees, and volunteers from any and all lawsuits, damages, claims, judgments, losses, liability or expenses arising out of personal injury or property damage to myself, my child or my ward, which may be sustained while participating in any activity sponsored by HERITAGE HOME SCHOLARS, including sports teams and activities.  By signing this form, I realize that all sports activities are potentially hazardous, including possible injury, serious injury, or death.

**   I also understand that HERITAGE HOME SCHOLARS does not necessarily carry insurance to cover students, parents, or visitors at any functions in which we participate.  I understand there are always risks in life and I am responsible for myself, my children, and any visitors I bring to HERITAGE HOME SCHOLARS functions.

**   I further understand that I am supposed to remain in the host facility while my child is participating in HERITAGE HOME SCHOLARS co-op functions there.  If, for some reason, I cannot accompany my child to a HERITAGE HOME SCHOLARS function or co-op, I understand that I am responsible for appointing a responsible caretaker for my child.  HERITAGE HOME SCHOLARS cannot take responsibility for children left unsupervised.

**   I agree that I am responsible for the care of my child while he/she is at any and all HERITAGE HOME SCHOLARS functions, including, but not limited to, co-op, club activities, field trips, or picnics..

**   I understand that HERITAGE HOME SCHOLARS is a support group only.  Registering with HERITAGE HOME SCHOLARS does not satisfy any state or umbrella school requirements.  I understand that it is my responsibility to meet state law requirements and it may reflect poorly on our group if I do not follow my state or umbrella school requirements.  For that reason, members are asked to indicate who they are registered with on the HERITAGE HOME SCHOLARS membership form.
