In the case of non-resident participation, non-resident users contribute an additional fee or surcharge to offset their non-tax status for programs.FEESIt is the policy of the Germantown Park & Recreation Department that program participants help defray the overall cost of the activity, (i.e. equipment, facilities, staffing, etc.) through the assessment of fees and charges. However, the department does not wish to exclude Village of Germantown children who are unable to pay these fees due to hardships that may occur. Parents who feel they are unable to afford the fees for a program should contact the Park & Recreation Director prior to registration.FACILITY FUND FEEBeginning in the summer 2010 the Park and Recreation Department began collecting a nominal facility fee.

The facility is not available for private parties including wedding receptions, graduations, family reunions, birthday parties, etc. and may not be used for fund raising purposes unless sponsored by a Germantown community related organization.

SCHOOL DISTRICT COOPERATIONThe Germantown Park & Recreation Department would like to thank the Germantown School District for their support and cooperation with facility scheduling. However, due to school athletic and educational programming, some recreation activities may need to be canceled or rescheduled. We appreciate the community’s understanding during these times.

IN REGARD TO THE AMERICANSWITH DISABILITIES ACTThe Germantown Park and Recreation Department is committed to meeting the needs of persons with disabilities. 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.

REGISTER BY DATEPersons should register by the date indicated. If your class does not meet their minimum enrollment by the date indicated, it may be canceled and/or combined with other classes. All registered participants will be notified by phone of changes. Class rosters are prepared and given to instructors. Registrations after this date will be accepted only if openings exist and transactions must be completed IN-PERSON, (unless otherwise indicated) as you will receive a receipt to take to your first session (proof of registration).

BROCHURE SCHEDULEThe Germantown Park & Recreation Department program brochure is mailed to all Germantown residents three times a year - Fall/Winter, Winter/Spring and Summer. Generally the Fall/Winter brochure is mailed the second week in August, Winter/Spring in late December and the Summer brochure is mailed in late April.

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
