SPECIALTY PROGRAM REGISTRATION Fraser Valley Rec continues to offer programming at all district facilities, including the recreation center. Please reference the activity guide for further details. This programming remains separate from recreation center memberships with the standard in-district and out-of-district rates. However, there will be discounts offered to recreation center members for some fitness, aquatics and gymnastic classes offered at the recreation center. Registrations for classes and programs are taken during business hours by phone, on-line, or in-person, and are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Internet registration is also available 24 hours/day at www. fraservalleyrec.org. Online registration for new, seasonal programs will be available 6 hours prior to on-site registration. Payment MUST be made at time of registration. Outstanding balances must be paid in full prior to new registrations. AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM REGISTRATION Please fill out a calendar with the days your child is planning on attending so that we may staff accordingly. You do not need to pre-register on-line or on-site for the After School Program. We will take roll daily and you will be sent a monthly installment bill via e-mail for the days your child attends the program. Please make sure we have your current e-mail address on file. FRIDAY FIELDTRIP REGISTRATION Pre-registration is required 24 hours in advance for Friday Field Trips to allow us to plan and staff accordingly. If you are not pre-registered your child will not be able to attend the trip. You may register for field trips by phone (970) 726-8968 x.0, on-line www.fraservalleyrec.org, or in-person at the Grand Park Community Recreation Center. RECTRAC GUIDE RecTrac and WebTrac are our new software that will keep track of all our needs and will also allow you to register for classes on-line! No more waiting in a crazy line at 8 a.m. anymore; you will be able to register from the comfort of your own home. Here we are going to lay out the process for you to access WebTrac and take care of all your needs on-line. In order to do on-line registrations, you must be in our computer system to begin with. If you are not in our system and would like to be, you can come visit us at the Rec Center or you may call us at 726-8968. This does not mean that you have to have a membership to browse our site on-line, it just means that we need to have you in our system so that you can receive a login and password. Your login and password will be your Household ID which can be found on any FVMRD receipt or you can call us at 726-8968 to attain that information as well. Once you login for the first time, you will be prompted to change your password. Please be sure to peruse our menu bar so you can make yourself familiar with our system. “My Account” will take care of most services for your household, while all of your registrations can proceed through “Search” or “Shop”. Once you are logged into the system, you can search our database by a few different avenues: keyword, age, gender, or activity number. Once you have found the appropriate class, you would click the “cart” symbol. Next you would need to select the family member that you wish to register and then click “Add to Cart”. You may either continue browsing or check-out at this point. Check-out procedure is similar to most other on-line shopping vendors. Enter the credit card information and billing address and proceed with checkout. You may either print your receipt now or reprint it later through “My Account.” 2
