Our Park District Commissioners The Arlington Heights Park District is governed by a Board of five elected officials. The Board meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month at the Administration Center, 410 N. Arlington Heights Road. Meetings begin at 7 pm. Residents are encouraged to attend.

Park District Mission Statement The Arlington Heights Park District enriches our community by providing quality recreation, parks, facilities and fun.

We do this by: • Ensuring the efficient and effective use of financial resources and Park District assets.

• Providing innovative recreational opportunities and facilities to meet the diverse programming needs of our community.

• Continuing the District’s pursuit of being a community, regional, state and national leader.

• Promoting an environment of cooperation, collaboration, and teamwork.

• Providing quality internal and external customer-focused service.

• Providing stewardship of our open spaces and natural resources.

New Residents If you’re new to Arlington Heights or have a friend or neighbor moving into our busy community, call 847.506.7142 to request a free new resident packet. If leaving a message, please spell your name and be sure to include your zip code with your address. A packet of Park District information and a coupon page will introduce new residents to our wonderful recreation activities.

Letter From The President I am pleased to announce that the Arlington Heights Park District has once again, received the highest accreditation possible for a park and recreation agency in Illinois in being named as an Accredited Illinois Distinguished Agency. Look up the word “distinguished” and you’ll see the words: differentiated, characterized, set apart and exemplified. How does this apply to us? It is true that the Park District encourages community input into its Master Planning efforts, most recently conducted over the summer for Camelot, Frontier, Heritage and Recreation Park. Collaborating with you, the users, enables us to implement innovative solutions to address your needs and the needs of the community over the next five, 10 and 20 years from now.

The spirit of collaboration is characteristic of our Park District and has been a key driver in partnerships we’ve forged over the past 85 years with local school districts, community groups, neighboring park districts and the library. One of our most recently formed partnerships with Mariano’s Fresh Market benefited our soccer program’s coaches, participants and their parents this past fall. This relationship exemplifies two of the park district’s core values – leadership and innovation. Learn more at ahpd.org.

While we do prefer to let our actions speak for us, from time to time it is appropriate to declare that the Arlington Heights Park District is committed to standing out from the crowd when it comes to delivering top quality program and services. But what truly sets our park district apart from all others is the environment in which we operate. We are a reflection of what our community wants and expects. So it really isn’t such a stretch to imagine why the Park District is an Accredited Illinois Distinguished Agency. Arlington Heights is a distinguished community. Constantly striving to improve and effortlessly getting things done to improve the quality of life for all who live here. Don’t let the coming winter months deter you from staying active and getting involved. We hope to see you at one of our sled hills or at an outdoor skating rink.

Maryfran Leno President Arlington Heights Board of Commissioners

Program guide How is the Park District Program Guide delivered to residents?

What if I don’t receive a Program Guide by the delivery date?

The Arlington Heights Park District uses a door to door service to deliver the guide to residents prior to each program session or four times per year.

We would like to know as soon as possible if you do not receive a Guide. Listed below are the delivery dates for the Spring 2011 through Summer 2011.

Why choose a delivery service over bulk mailing through the Post Office?

Guide Spring 2011 Summer 2011

There are several reasons: • The benefit of the delivery service is a significant cost savings over mailing. It also allows us to target delivery to Park District residents.

• The amount of time needed to deliver the Guide through the delivery service is 1-3 days.

• Through the post office, the requirement for bulk mailing is 10-12 days.

• Because the service indicates delivery in three days, we can find out in a timely manner those households that did not receive a Guide and re-deliver sooner.

It is important to understand whatever the method of delivering the Guide; there is the potential for missed deliveries.

It is our goal to minimize the number of non-deliveries and work with the delivery service to identify where problems occurred and to improve the service. Our #1 priority is to make sure those individuals and families, who want the Park District Program Guide, receive it.

Delivery Date (Saturdays) January 29, 2011 April 23, 2011

Please mark your calendar and if you do not receive a Guide delivered near your front door or porch by the date indicated above; call 847.577.3003, ext 5353.

We consistently work with the service for front door/ porch delivery; however on occasion the guide may be delivered in your driveway.

There are three other options if you do not receive the Guide by the delivery date; you may stop by any Park District facility or view it online at ahpd.org. You may also print the Guide from a pdf file located on the Park District’s home page.

We hope this article provides you with additional information on how the Program Guide is delivered and the process to follow for re-delivery.

Since 1991, North School Park, Eastman Street & Arlington Heights Road, has been a beacon of holiday lights with displays celebrating the child in all of us. Created in-house by our Parks Department staff, the annual display features three-dimensional toys such as the dreidels, snowman, a carousel and a village & train display inside the gingerbread house. Displays created from steel rods wound with lights are a special feature: the four-car train, revolving windmill, pirate ship and more. Each year as new pieces are created, it’s necessary to rotate the display sculptures.

WINTER FUN

Winter fun snowflakes Ice Skating & Ice Hockey

The Park District provides unsupervised ice skating and ice hockey rinks throughout Arlington Heights. Rinks are maintained at Camelot, Frontier, Heritage, Hickory Meadows, Pioneer and Recreation Parks. All ice rink locations have free skating rinks.

At Heritage, Frontier and Pioneer Parks, ice hockey rinks with boards will also be maintained.

Check for latest Ice Rink Reports online at ahpd.org.

The Park District warns everyone that neither ice skating nor sledding is allowed at Arlington Lakes Golf Club or at Lake Arlington. Ice skating is not allowed at the Nickol Knoll Golf Club. Conditions are never safe, regardless of extremely cold weather. The constant flow of water in these lakes does not allow them to freeze solid enough for skaters. No sledding near ice rinks.

Park District personnel begin flooding these rinks during the first prolonged cold spell (22 degrees or below for four to five days) after December 15. The rinks need to be flooded for a period of at least four consecutive days of temperatures of 22 degrees or below before they are ready for skating.

Why do park crews stop making ice on February 15 each year?

Even on the coldest of winter days after February 15, the sun’s warm rays begin melting the darker colored ice. As the days get longer, the sun’s angle becomes more direct and much warmer. Ice made during the overnight hours begins a slow and gradual meltdown and ice cannot be sustained.

Finally, nighttime temps in late February are not typically cold enough to support formation of multiple layers of ice. While most late February evenings are below freezing, ice making at temperatures just below freezing often requires several hours before the warm 55 degree water from the hydrants refreezes and forms a new layer of ice. Unable to make multiple ice layers nightly, ice-making efforts become futile.

If you have questions related to skating feel free to contact Brian Huckstadt, Director of Parks and Planning (847.577.3009) or Sue Gwinnup, Superintendent of Recreation (847.506.7870).

Sledding Unsupervised sled hills are located at Heritage, Green Slopes, Sunset Meadows and Nickol Knoll Parks. Only plastic sleds and tubes are allowed. Use of sleds with wood or steel is prohibited.

Snow boards are not allowed at these sled hills. Sledding at all sites is at your own risk.

At Heritage Park, the sled hill features an open sledding area. The hill is lighted. At Green Slopes, Nickol Knoll, and Sunset Meadows Parks, the sled hills feature large, open areas. The sled hill at Green Slopes is lighted.

Sledding at Nickol Knoll is allowed only in the designated area east side of Park near ball diamond. Look for the sign marking the proper location. There is no warming shelter at this location.(SG)

Hockey rinks are most vulnerable to this melting because the dasher boards along the perimeter absorb a great deal of the sun’s warmth. The sun warms the dasher boards and they radiate that warmth back to adjacent ground melting the ice adjacent to the boards. This heat build-up also prevents new layers of ice from forming adjacent to the boards.

IN A JOB?

pools for the Summer of 2011?

We begin developing staff for the summer pool season in October 2010. Almost 400 part-time staff work in the aquatics department over the summer. From October through December we recruit from the previous summer staff. We’ll be accepting applications for the summer of 2011 after January 1, 2011. Positions include lifeguard, swim instructor, concession attendant, and cashier.

Each pool has a maximum number of staff that can be employed for each position. Depending on how many staff return from the previous summer, there may not be openings for specific jobs at the individual pools. To fill out a job application visit our web site at ahpd.org and click on JOBS and then click on ONLINE JOB APPLICATION. You can now fill out and submit your application online. Last year we stopped taking applications for new aquatic employees by mid-February because we had too many applicants.

Those interested in becoming a lifeguard have to participate in a screening process. The purpose of the screening is to give you an opportunity to see what the job is about and to see if you have the physical skills and endurance necessary to be a successful lifeguard. There will be several off these screening classes offered in winter and spring of 2011. Please look for them in those program guides. As of the printing of the Fall program guide, those dates cannot be determined yet. To summarize, those interested in being a new lifeguard have to apply, register for a screening in either the winter or spring, and then take the lifeguard training class in May or June of 2011.

During May and early June there are several required job trainings that all staff must attend.

All of the positions have an age cut off: To enroll in a lifeguard class you must be 15 years old by the last day of the class.

To work as a swim instructor you must be 15 years old by June 1, 2011.

To work as a cashier or concession attendant you must be 16 years old by June 1, 2011.

For questions regarding job availability at specific pools, please call the facility directly and speak with the supervisor. For specific questions regarding lifeguard training, please call Steve Neill at 847.590.6059.

OLYMPIC INDOOR SWIM CENTER

INTERESTED

Interested in a job at the

OLYMPIC INDOOR SWIM CENTER

Do you want to be a lifeguard?

Are you thinking about being a lifeguard for the Arlington Heights Park District for the summer of 2011? If the answer is yes, then you must follow these steps.

First, you need to fill out a job application.

Applications can be filled on the web at ahpd.org. You can submit the job application after January 1, 2011. By using the e-mail address you provide on your job application, we will send you information about enrolling in a lifeguard screening.

Second, you must enroll in a free lifeguard screening session. To enroll, you will need to simply reply to the email mentioned above. Screening dates are as follows: • Thursday, May 12 - 6 to 8 pm • Tuesday, May 17 - 6 to 8 pm • Monday, June 6 - 7 to 9 pm • Monday, July 13 2 - 4 pm During the lifeguard screening your swimming skills will be tested, you will get a good idea of what it takes to be a lifeguard, and you will have an opportunity to meet with all the swimming pool supervisors.

To pass the screening you must be able to: • Swim 200 yards using a front crawl or breast stroke. Two hundred yards is 8 lengths of Olympic’s lap pool.

• You must also retrieve a 10 pound dive brick from 12 feet of water.

• Then tread water holding that brick for one minute.

• Finally, you must be able to tread water for two minutes using only your legs.

If you can perform these four skills, you have the physical strength and endurance to be successful in the class. A lifeguard screening will last up to 2 hours, depending on the enrollment.

The final step to become a lifeguard is for you to pass the lifeguard training class.

• Upon successful completion of a lifeguard screening, you will receive registration information for the new lifeguard training class.

• You must attend all the dates and times of the new lifeguard class you want to take.

• Unfortunately due to the nature of the material taught, every class learns at a different pace, therefore you can only take one of the classes. You cannot mix and match the three classes.

• You must be 15 years old by the last day of your new lifeguard class.

Cost of the new lifeguard training class is $115.

24

The Arlington Heights Park District uses Ellis and Associates lifeguard training. There will be three new lifeguard training classes offered for the 2010 summer.

• The first new lifeguard class will be May 21, 22, 28, and 29 from 9 am to 4 pm each day.

• The second new lifeguard class will be June 7, 8, 9, and 10 from 9 am to 4 pm each day.

• The final new lifeguard class will be June 14, 15, 16, and 17 from 9 am to 4 pm each day.

At some point during the hiring process we may have to stop taking applications for specific parks if we reach our desired number of lifeguards. There is no way to predict when this may happen. Last year we stopped taking applications for new lifeguards at all locations by mid-February. Best advice is to fill out the job application as soon as you can. If a position at the pool you desire most is not available, you will have the option of working at another pool.

To summarize the process to become a lifeguard at the Arlington Heights Park District you must: • First, fill out and submit a job application after January 1 • Second, you must enroll, attend and successfully pass a lifeguard screening.

• Third, you attend all the sessions of a new lifeguard class and pass the class.

Please keep in mind that in order to actually be hired as a lifeguard you must pass the screening process and pass the new lifeguard training class. You cannot be hired as a lifeguard until you actually pass the class and get certified as a lifeguard. If you have any questions about this process, please call Steve Neill at 847.590.6059 or email at sjneill@ahpd.org.

Winter Session Dates: Weekday Monday, January 10 - Thursday, February 24 Saturday January 8 - February 26

(No class on Saturday, January 22) Sunday January 9 - February 20

It is important for parents to attend the first day of the session for swim lessons to find out how the lessons operate and who to speak with if you have questions. On the first day of class, participants find out who their instructor is, who the Lesson Coordinators are, when Parent’s Day is held and the general operation of the lesson program for that particular pool. You will be able to pick up a parent letter, which has a listing of any conflict dates for your convenience. You will also be able to pick up a parent packet which has a detailed listing of all the skills that are taught in Water Babies through Swim School. You can also view this online at ahpd.org

This program is designed to help you and your child, age 6 to 24 months, learn to relax and enjoy the water through games, activities and songs. Frequency is the key to water adjustment and learning. Try to attend all classes and include swimming in your family’s recreational activities. A parent must accompany each child and be actively involved in the instruction. Infants need to wear tight fitting rubber pants over a diaper or a swimming diaper. Swim diapers are available for purchase at Olympic Indoor Swim Center.

Advancing Levels:

Water Toddlers (2-5 yrs)

First Day of Lessons:

Participants can advance levels in Junior Swim School, Swim School, Swim School II, Semi-Private Lessons, and Private Lessons. Participants are evaluated by a lesson coordinator periodically throughout the session. There is no magic number of how many times a child will be tested. It is an unreal expectation to test every participant every day. The lesson coordinator discusses the daily lesson activity with the swim instructors prior to class and reviews the class sheets to plan their evaluations for the day. Every day is different and there is not a set pattern in how evaluations are done. It is never our intent to frustrate participants or parents. Our goal is for the participant to learn and have fun. Every child is different. Please do not compare your child’s experience in swim lessons to another. Children learn differently. The obtain their coordination at different ages. They obtain the concept of getting better or practicing at different ages. There are times when a child may not advance for a while due to circumstances out of our and your child’s control. When this happens it can be discouraging for your child. There are times when your child may need to take a break from swim lessons for a session. If that happens, rest assured, we will still be here ready willing to welcome you back and get you swimming again.

Parent’s Day: Parent’s days are held for Jr. Swim School and Swim School and are a day when parents are invited pool side to observe their child’s skills and to talk with the swim instructor.

Children age 2-5 years learn basic swimming and safety skills including water adjustment activities and water entries and exits. We’ll help you teach your child a variety of aquatic skills.

A parent must accompany each child and be actively involved in the instruction. Frequency is the key to water adjustment and learning. Enjoyment is essential to learning. When you concentrate on activities your children enjoy most, they’ll enjoy the process while learning at their own pace. Children not potty trained must wear a swim diaper or tight fitting rubber pants over a diaper. Swim diapers are available for purchase at Olympic Indoor Swim Center.

Our diving program is designed to promote safety and a basic introduction to diving. There are two levels - beginner and intermediate. To enroll in intermediate, you must have completed at least one session of beginner and be granted instructor approval. Divers are given specific goals that will help their skill development.

Youth Water Polo (9 yrs +)

The ratio is six students per one instructor. These fun and exciting classes introduce and help develop stroke coordination and comfort in the water. The program has ten levels to help your child learn beginning through advanced swimming and safety skills. While many of the activities are repetitive, studies indicate that this is the best way for young children to learn.

Frequency is the key to water adjustment and learning. All children learn at a different pace and will advance through the ten levels at a different pace. Just because a child does not advance a level does not mean they are not learning. Try to attend all classes and include swimming in your family’s recreational activities. Did you know that once your child graduates from swim school they can still register for Swim School and participate in the tenth and final level, Graduate Swim School? This level focuses on refining the six swim strokes, and building endurance. Did you know that you can view all of the swim school level requirements online? Visit ahpd. org/swimming/SwimLessonInfo.htm to view them and other information about our swim program .Participants register for classes by time periods and our staff will evaluate each child’s ability on the first day of class. Therefore the first day of class will take longer to get started due to attendance and ability evaluations. If you took swim lessons during the prior season, please bring your end of lesson sheet so staff can properly place your child. We honor sheets from one season prior.

Children can wear swim goggles. If your child has long hair we recommend they wear a swim cap or tie their hair back. Please remember there are no make-ups for missed classes.

Forest View is proud to offer the Quickstart Tennis method of teaching for young junior players as the first of three phases of our lesson program. We believe that this is the best way to get students playing tennis at young ages with solid technique. Racquets, balls, and courts will be sized appropriately for each age, size, and ability level with the goal being to get kids playing tennis earlier in the learning process. These lessons will look more interactive with emphasis being placed on movement and body awareness, culminating in early rallies between student and instructor and soon thereafter from student to student. We are looking forward to grooming the next generation of northwest suburban tennis players with this initiative.

Quickstart Tennis Lessons Children are taught tennis technique and rules of the game in a format that is scaled to their size and ability. This miniature version of adult tennis allows the young beginner and advanced beginner to play and learn tennis at the same time.

FOREST VIEW RACQUET AND FITNESS CLUB

Quickstart Tennis Program

FOREST VIEW RACQUET & FITNESS CLUB

Junior Development Program

Academy Program

Junior Development is the second phase of the Forest View junior lesson program. This phase of the program is geared toward beginner and advanced beginner junior players ages 10 thru 14. The focus of training is on technical skill development in preparation for play. This phase of the junior lesson program is appropriate for students learning the game for fun, or as preparation for future competitive play.

Forest View is excited to announce the Academy Program for competitive junior players. Learning perfect strokes is a worthy goal, but only if they can help you win the point. Tennis cannot be learned in a classroom, so students in the Academy program should expect to hit more than listen. Competitive experiences are not the test of your achievement. They are simply part of the process of learning to compete. The focus of training in the Academy Program will be on teaching players how to apply their individual skills to various levels of competition. For information on placement in the Academy Program please contact Head Tennis Professional, Jason Stanislaw at 847.640.2574 or jstani2836@yahoo.com Requirements for participation in the Academy Program are: • Forest View Junior Membership • Competitive Play (Tournaments, High School Teams, Junior Match Play Program) Academy Program is designed for juniors actively involved in competitive tennis. Forest View membership is a requirement for this program. Placement is by pro staff recommendation.

• Quickstart Tennis 5-7 years (1-1:30 pm) • Quickstart Tennis 8-10 years (1:30-2:30 pm): The easier it is for kids to play tennis, the greater the chance that they will stick with it. Like other sports that bring their games down to scale, from a smaller diamond for Little League baseball to a shorter goal and smaller ball in basketball, students in the QuickStart program will play on courts that are smaller, use racquets that are shorter and play with a foam or low compression felt ball that have been designed for success.

• Advanced Beginner/Intermediate 9-13 years (11 am-12:30 pm): This program is geared for existing players who want to improve stroke technique and footwork. Students will drill and play to develop consistency and practice the rules of tennis.

• Match Play - Intermediate/Tournament Training 12-17 yrs (2:30-4 pm):This program is designed for intermediate players who are interested in getting tournament experience. Match Play will challenge players to compete in a round robin format using the skills and experience they have developed from years of lessons and practice!

PRESCHOOL

Preschool building blocks Preschool Classes For 3-5 Year Olds About the Instructors: Skilled professionals schooled in early childhood and/or elementary education, teach the preschool program. Our instructors are kept informed of current trends in education by attending early childhood workshops and conferences throughout the year. Our teachers help the children develop new interests, learn good work habits, follow directions, socialize, share, and establish self-direction.

About the Program: The preschool program provides a carefully planned curriculum, developed with the guidance of District 25 Kindergarten teachers. Our program is designed to give your child the tools and experiences they need to assure a positive transition from preschool to kindergarten. Some ongoing skills emphasized during our two year program are recognition and printing of first name with upper and lower case letters, naming basic colors and shapes, finding upper and lower cases letters when named, and reciting numbers 1-20. Our teachers encourage creative freedom through free play, imaginative play, arts and crafts, music, science, and gross and fine motor activities. The philosophy of our preschool is to allow the children to learn through play.

Children in preschool must be toilet trained; pull-ups are not acceptable. Children in the 3-4 year old program must be 3 by September 1, 2011; those in the 4-5 year old program must be 4 by September 1, 2011. Proof of age is required at the time of registration. Please bring a birth certificate to registration.

Children currently enrolled in the 3-4 year old program receive priority in registering for the 4-5 year old program. Some programs may be full at the February 26th general registration.

The 3-4 year old program requires a parent to help throughout the year assisting the instructor. This averages out to five times per year provided the class has 15-16 children enrolled. More assistance is required for smaller classes. Siblings may not accompany the parent helper. Your full attention is needed in class. When you assist, you bring snacks, juice, and napkins for the children in the program. Sign-up for the parent helper dates is conducted in the fall. The 4-5 year old classes provide a teacher and teacher’s aide. However, parents are still required to provide snacks, juice and napkins.

Discover the physiological, psychological, and biochemical benefits of a yoga practice regardless of age, shape, size, or physical ability. The unique combination of physical movements, breathing practices, and relaxation techniques are designed to harmonize the working of the nervous system and relax the body. In this workshop, Meghann Richko will provide a safe and encouraging space for the absolute beginner, and get you started on the path to health and wellness.

Sports training can result in strength in some areas, but inflexibility in others, and often has a one dimensional focus.

Examples are tennis players with more freedom of rotation in one direction than the other, runners with endurance and tight hamstrings, and cyclists with tight quadriceps. Yoga is a great complement to any athletic or fitness training, providing a range of poses designed to bring the body back into balance.

Participants in this workshop will discover why cross training with yoga doesn’t just build flexibility and strength, but also improves core strength, and lessens imbalances that lead to overuse injuries. Instructor Meghann Richko will also explore why yoga’s emphasis on mental focus has direct application, and how to use breath awareness as a way of managing the intensity of any sport or fitness practice. The workshop will include lecture and physical practice. Please dress comfortably to allow for range of movement and bring a yoga mat. Fee is $25 if registered by February 21st, and $30 thereafter.

Serious students will be challenged both physically and mentally as they develop an appreciation and understanding of self-discipline and personal presence through these centuries-old traditional martial arts.

THE DRIVE TO REVIVE MEMORIAL PARK

Honoring the service and sacrifice of veterans and their families.

Memorial Park is the only park in Arlington Heights exclusively dedicated to veterans. Located at Fremont and Chestnut Streets, each year this site serves as a gathering point for the community to pay tribute to veterans from all the branches of the armed services in a solemn ceremony at the closing of the Memorial Day Parade. Committed to honoring the sacrifices of Civil War veterans, Dr. John Best, a Civil War veteran himself, donated land to the Village for a “Soldiers Memorial” in 1883 to serve as a tribute to those who had served and sacrificed for the Union. In 1925, the Village donated the Park to the new AHPD and the new “Memorial Park” was dedicated to honoring the sacrifice of all veterans throughout our nation’s history. Working with the Park District since 2006 to rebuild Memorial Park, the Drive to Revive Memorial Park Committee and other organizations developed a beautiful new design and the park now features the service seals of all six US Military Services; a bronze timeline marking the 15 conflicts in which Arlington Heights veterans have served; and commemorative bricks to honor individual veterans. To date, over 300 individual veterans are honored at Memorial Park.By purchasing a Commemorative Brick in the Central Plaza of Memorial Park you may honor any veteran from anywhere, from any service, from anytime (peace or war).

For a Memorial Park brochure and brick order form, log onto the Memorial Park webpage: ahparkfoundation.org/memorialparkfund or call the Park District at 847.577.3000. For questions, please call Greg Padovani, Chairman of the Drive to Revive Memorial Park Committee at 847.392.9113.

Not all Arlington Heights Residents are in the Park District We deliver the Program Guide to everyone within the boundaries of the Arlington Heights Park District; however, there are several areas in the Village that are not in the Park District. Some of these areas: • Dana Point Apartments • Courts of Russetwood • Carriageway Drive • Daniels Court • Any street west of Wilke Road • Happfield Drive • Evanston Avenue & Dale Avenue between Gregory and Kensington • Rammer Avenue between Grove & Kensington • Regent Park • Briarwood Lake If you live in these areas, please use the nonresident information when registering for classes. For additional information on which Park District you belong to, please consult your tax bill.

Park District Residents: To qualify for resident fees an individual must reside within the boundaries of the Arlington Heights Park District. The Recreation Department may waive the residency requirement for a program if it is considered in the best interest of the Park District.

Non-residents: Bring your completed registration form to any community center or Administration Center on or after December 16. Non-resident registrations received before this date are held and processed beginning December 16. You’ll receive a confirmation postcard.

Because residents contribute to the overall financing of the Park District with their property taxes, they pay a lower fee for classes.

Non-residents may register for recreation programs; however, residents receive admission priority to all programs.

Please note that some programs have a non-resident fee listed under the program description as the second fee indicated as NR.

Resident Registration begins December 7 at 10 am
