important to have your registration in on time, along with approved form of payment, you will not be registered for
a program until an approved form of payment has been issued.

peated no-shows will be suspended from future programs. Repeated lateness to and from program can also result
in suspension from future programs.
Important Reminders
Public Transportation
Due to the unpredictable pick up and drop off times of public transportations services like Access Link, we
strongly urge against using the services as a way to attend programs. Our program staff are only available the
hours of program and an early drop off/late pick up can result in insufficient coverage, in addition to missing
valuable program time.
Annual PIF Update Upon registering for a recreation program you will receive a PIF update form. Please make sure that it is filled
out in it’s entirety. This form helps us know our participants and support them in the event of an emergency. Upon registering for a recreation program you will receive a PIF update form. Please make sure that it is filled
