WAITING LISTIf your desired class is filled, you will be notified and placed on a waiting list. The department will make every effort to accommodate those on the waiting list, (adding classes, etc.). If any openings become available, we will go to the waiting list to fill the class.SAFETY ISSUESThe Germantown Park & Recreation Department is committed to conducting programs or activities in the safest manner possible and holds the safety of its participants in the highest regard. Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities. The department continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions. If you find a real or potential safety hazard in one of our parks or facilities, please call 250-4710.INSURANCE COVERAGEPlease recognize that the Germantown Park & Recreation Department does not carry medical or hospital insurance for injuries or illness participants may sustain in programs. Prior to registering you should review your health insurance policy for coverage. Absence of personal health insurance coverage does not make the Park & Recreation Department responsible for payment of a participant’s medical coverage. All persons participating in department sponsored activities must provide their own insurance and assume risk of all injuries. The department will not be liable for personal liabilities or accidents.NOTICE OF NONDISCRIMINATIONIt is the policy of the Germantown Park & Recreation Department that no person shall, on the basis of sex, race, national origin, ancestry, creed, marital or parental status, age or disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity, including employment.NO SMOKING / ALCOHOL USE POLICYA reminder to program participants: The use of all tobacco products or drinking of alcoholic beverages on premises owned by the Germantown School District is prohibited by state law. Your cooperation in upholding this law is necessary.

SCHOOL DISTRICT COOPERATIONThe Germantown Park & Recreation Department would like to thank the Germantown School District for their support and cooperation with facility scheduling.

Reasonable accommodations such as appropriate auxiliary aids and services may be provided. Contact the Park & Recreation Office at 250-4710 for information.

PROGRAM LEADERSHIPQualified, competent leadership is the key to a successful program. The Park & Recreation Department will attempt to employ such leaders in all its programs. If you feel you are qualified to lead, instruct or officiate a specific program, contact the Park & Recreation Office to obtain an application form.

LOST / STOLEN ITEMSThe department is not responsible for personal equipment, clothes, etc. that are lost or stolen during participation in any sponsored activity. However, please contact our office concerning lost items as many times they are turned in by others.

LESSON OBSERVATIONThe first and final instructional classes may be observed by parents or other non-participants, unless special dates are scheduled by the individual instructors. Our instructors welcome the opportunity to discuss participants progress with parents. If you would like your child’s instructor to contact you, please contact the department office. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

MAKEUPS?Classes missed for individual absences (i.e. illness, vacations, etc.) are not “made up” nor may participants attend classes other than the one they are registered for.

ACTIVITY CHANGES / SCHEDULESDue to circumstances beyond our control, some activities may require time or location changes. All participants will be notified, when possible if a change or cancellation does occur.

A Message To Parents

(Age/Grade Requirement)

For all programs the age requirement

will be as of the date of the first

class unless otherwise specified.

Please do not request or sign your

child up in a class he/she does not

belong in. If you should do so and

we discover the error, it may be too

late to get your child in the correct

class because it is full. All age

requirements are set to benefit the

children and make instruction more

consistent for the program leader.

In some instances, the requirements

have been set for the child’s safety.

Thank you for your

cooperation
