Make Lifelong Learning a Reality

Would you be willing to “sponsor a participant” who is unable to participate in a Community Education activity or class due to financial challenges? We invite you to take this opportunity to make a dollar donation or to be on a list of those who have committed to help when such a need arises so that we can connect with you.

For more information on the “Sponsor a participant” program, please contact Community Education at 320-370-8200, or email CommunityEd@isd742.org.

WHEN TO REGISTER

Registration for classes is open upon receipt of the catalog. Online registration announcements will be made available at www.isd742.org/CommunityEd.

CLASS CONFIRMATION

Unless we contact you, assume the course is held at the time and place indicated and that you are registered.

CANCELLATIONS

• Complete refund is given if a class is canceled or filled.

• A $5 cancellation fee plus direct expenses (materials, transportation, ticket and/or other class costs) will be charged if participants cancel a class within five working days and up to 24 hours prior to class.

• Classes canceled less than 24 hours in advance will not be refunded.

• A $5/15 minute late pick-up fee is due upon pick-up.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED

If participants are not 100% satisfied with a class, they can contact the Community Education Main Office at 320-370-8200 and we will gladly address your concerns.

SCHOOL CLOSINGS

If school closes during the day due to bad weather, Community Education will cancel all activities. Announcements are made on the District 742 website and local radio stations.

BE AN INSTRUCTOR

District 742 Community Education instructors are employed because they have a special skill or expertise they are willing to share with the community. District 742 Community Education does not endorse the opinions or business affiliation of instructors.

TRIPS & OUTINGS

All pick up times listed indicate the time the bus/van leaves that location. It takes some time to board the bus and secure wheelchairs so we ask that you arrive 10-15 minutes prior to the departure time.

To facilitate your participation in a class/ activity, please call 320-370-8200.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

If you are eligible to receive financial assistance, it will consist of 50% of each class fee up to $20 per catalog. You must be a resident of District 742 to qualify. Verification required.
