Amazing Fall Colors with Young Rembrandts

Spanish with Futura Language Professionals

Back-to-school is in full swing at Young Rembrandts, as we present drawing lessons that encompass a fascinating world of color, pattern, and design. Strengthen your marker rendering skills as you draw a detailed gumball machine. A drawing of a sandwich will make you hunger for more art. Travel back in time to the age of the pharaohs and illustrate a decorative, Egyptian headdress. An illustration celebrating the fall season will introduce our colorists to warm and cool colors.

Studies show that children learn another language easiest when it is practical in their everyday lives or is a topic they find fun and interesting. This year’s Vamos series has both! In our hands-on class,¡Vamos a Comer! your child will learn how to order at a restaurant and set the table--all in Spanish! In winter, return for eight more jam-packed sessions with ¡Vamos con los Animales! where we will “visit” a pet store, a family farm, the zoo, the ocean, and even the rainforest!

Guidelines and P rocedures

Satisfaction Guarantee - Please call the Community Education (CE) Office at 952.226.0080 if you are not satisfied with any class or activity in which you participated. We appreciate being notified as soon as a concern is noticed, so that we may have the opportunity to improve the program for all participants. Refunds - Class cancellations requested no later than 4:00 p.m., five business days prior to the first day of class may be eligible for a refund. All refunds are subject to a processing fee of $5.00 for courses up to $99 and $10 for courses $100+. Refunds are not issued after 4:00 p.m. five business days before a class starts, due to commitments made to instructors. Call or visit the CE office to cancel a registration. Community Education reserves the right to withdraw a course due to lack of enrollment or loss of a suitable facility. Participants will receive a full refund for CE initiated cancellations. Full refunds are also issued for weather cancellations, if a course cannot be rescheduled or if the rescheduled date does not work for the participant. Cancellation - CE reserves the right to withdraw a course due to lack of enrollment or loss of a suitable facility. If we have to cancel a class, every effort will be made to contact all the participants who preregistered. Please include on your registration form a phone number where you can be contacted during the day. CE assumes no responsibility for reaching registrants who do not provide an accessible daytime phone number. If an email is provided at the time of registration, notifications will also be sent to the address provided. Classes may be cancelled due to inclement weather or for other unavoidable reasons. These sessions are made up whenever possible. If school closes during the day due to bad weather, CE will cancel all activities. Call 952.226.0080 for evening or weekend cancellation information. Discounts - All UCare Minnesota members may take up to a $15 discount per class. Any coupons used will be accepted with registration form by mail or dropped off only. Non-Endorsement Policy - CE contracts with specialists in their fields who are interested in presenting classes in their areas of expertise to the community. We do not endorse the opinions or business affiliations of the instructors. 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. Exchange of Information - I give my consent to an exchange of my child’s information between The Wave staff and other Prior LakeSavage Area School professional staff whenever it may be deemed as beneficial to my child. Liability Waiver - I give PLSAS staff and Community Education

Instructors permission to take whatever emergency measures deemed necessary for the care and protection of my child during their participation in CE programming. In case of extreme emergency, I understand my child will be transported to the nearest hospital by local emergency unit for treatment as deemed necessary. Any expenses incurred are the responsibility of the parent/guardian. I understand that registration for this program waives all rights and claims for any and all injuries from whatever cause suffered by participation in program-related activities.

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. CE coordinates all community group or individual requests for facility usage after school, on evenings, weekends and during summer months. All requests must be made at least 7 business days before the intended activity. For more information, please call Gina Fern, M-F, 8am-4pm at 952.226.0095 or email facilityuse@priorlake-savage.k12.mn.us.

Late pick up fees will apply. • An adult signature is required when picking-up elementary and younger students. Adults should report to program location, must be listed as person picking-up child, and must physically sign-out the student after each class. Students 11 and older do not need to be signed out. • Inform the instructor AND a CE staff person of any allergies, special needs, or behavioral concerns.
