Paper registration is also available. Those wishing to do that are asked to drop off registration forms by the open of business on Jan. 21 and students will be chosen lottery-style for the programs. The best chance to get a spot is through the online process since staff can only process one form at a time and online registration fills up quickly in the morning.
No refunds will be given after Feb. 10 unless the activity is canceled. If there is a cancellation after this date and the spot can be filled with someone on our wait list then you may receive a partial refund. Please notify the office as soon as possible so that we can attempt to reach someone.
