Definition of Family For the purpose of purchasing family pool passes, or receiving a family discount for the Tae Kwon Do program, a family is defined as all immediate family members residing at the same street address. This would include children of divorced parents who have joint custody, stepchildren, and foster children. Babysitters, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and ex-spouses are not considered immediate family members unless they appear on the same federal income tax return.
Refund Policy If a participant cancels from an activity prior to the first gathering, a refund is given (less expenses incurred). Following the first day of an activity, refunds/credit are not given unless: (a) the activity is cancelled by the department, in which a full refund/credit will be issued; or (b) if a medical problem arises during an activity, a physician’s written medical excuse must be presented stating that participation be discontinued. A pro-rated refund will be issued based upon the number of classes attended.
Vandalism Each year Norwalk taxpayers must cover the cost of repairing and replacing park facilities that have been willfully damaged or destroyed. Since the parks are unsupervised, it is difficult for park staff to catch the vandals who cause this damage. You can assist by reporting any act of vandalism to the Norwalk Parks and Recreation Department at 981-9206 or the Norwalk Police Department at 222-3321.
Returned Check Fee The City of Norwalk charges $20.00 for each check returned from your bank. To retain a spot in the program for which you registered, you must pay the program price, plus the $20.00 returned check fee by cash, money order, or cashier’s check.

Resident/Non-Resident Policy A resident is any person who lives within the city limits of Norwalk. This is not to be confused with the school district. City and School District boundaries are not the same. Even though your mailing address is Norwalk, this does not necessarily mean you are a city resident. See the map above for boundaries. Most programs/classes have different fees for residents and nonresidents. City of Norwalk residents make a significant contribution to the financing and operation of the Norwalk Parks and Recreation Department through city property taxes. These taxes are paid whether or not individuals participate in programs or use facilities. To ensure equality, non-residents (those living outside the Norwalk city limits) will be charged a non-resident fee in addition to the program or facility fee.

Norwalk Family Taekwondo
Michael Wagenknecht is the head instructor of the school and offers programs for ages 5 through adults. The classes are separated by rank (beginners, advanced) and students meet twice a week. Class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays, at Oviatt Elementary. Beginners meet from 7:00 to 7:45 pm and advanced students meet from 7:45 to 8:30 pm. We also offer our Little Dragon program designed for children ages 5 to 7. Little Dragons meet twice a week. This program is run concurrently with the beginning class. Maximum number of students in the Little Dragon program is 20, so register early. All programs consist of hand and foot techniques, forms, selfdefense, and lessons and instructions on topics such as respect, self-discipline, and perseverance. Competition is also available for those students who are interested. Competition teaches sportsmanship, gives confidence, and allows the students to use the skills they have learned in class. Families are strongly encouraged to join and train together. We found that the kids learn better when one or both of their parents/guardians are learning along side of them in class.
