Class Confirmations - Community Education does not mail

class confirmations. If you provide a valid email address at the time of registration, a confirmation will be emailed to you. We will contact you by phone or email if there is a change. Please list a daytime phone number so we can reach you if a class is cancelled. If there is a last minute change, signs are posted at each site with your class information, including class title, room number and time of classes. Privacy - The information requested on registration forms will be used to verify eligibility as well as determine staff, facility and equipment needs. You or your child’s registration information may be provided to school district staff, volunteers, instructors, the school district attorney, insurer and auditor. Your email information is for internal use only and will not be sold or solicited. Photographs or videos of classes in action may be taken and used for district publications and web pages. If you object to having your picture used, please notify the Community Education Office at 952.226.0080 each time you register.

Community Use of Facilities - Need a place to meet? Community members and organizations are invited to apply to use district facilities and grounds for their meetings and activities.

Assistance is limited to one program per person in each quarter with a limit of $100 per person/per quarter. Some programs are not eligible. You must be a resident of ISD 719 to qualify.

• Provide an accessible daytime phone number and an additional emergency contact when registering your child for programs. • Complete all requested information at registration. • Notify the Community Education Office at 952.226.0080 ASAP if your child will NOT be attending a session of a class for which they are registered. If Community Education is NOT notified otherwise, we will keep students for class. • If someone other than a parent will be picking up your child from class, please let the instructor and/or a Community Education staff person know ahead of time. Students may not walk or bike home from a CE class. • Drop off your child in the classroom on time each session. • Elementary After School CE Participants will be dismissed from their elementary classroom to Kids’ Company (KC) Staff. Students will eat snack (provided by CE) with KC. CE class instructors will pick up registered class participants from Kids’ Company. If your child has allergies or dietary restrictions, please provide them with a snack each day. • Pick up your child in the classroom at the class ending time. Security codes will be issued to parents by email (at locked buildings). Watch your email for that code. If you cannot pick up on time, you are expected to make other arrangements for your child ahead of time. Late pick ups are subject to a fee. Parents are responsible for contacting Community Education if they do not receive the code. • Inform the instructor AND a Community Education staff person of any allergies, special needs, or behavioral concerns that may help us to provide the best environment and instruction for your child and the other students enrolled. • The behavior of students is expected to be appropriate for the class learning environment. The instructor and Community Education staff reserve the right to dismiss students immediately, without a refund, when behavior is not appropriate or jeopardizes the safety of them or other students. Should this become necessary, parents will be contacted and expected to pick up children immediately. Registration implies consent. Please Note: These procedures have been modified for Winter 2016.
