1. A Message to Parents
For all programs, age and grade requirement will be as of the first day of the class, unless otherwise specified. Please only register your child in the class when he/she meets the requirements. All age and grade requirements are set to benefit the child and make instruction consistent for our staff. In some instances, the requirements have been set for the child’s safety.
2. Pick Up and Drop Off for Programs
We are UNABLE to escort your child to and from any recreation programs due to the staffing needs that this service would require. All transportation arrangements for classes must be made on the parent/guardian’s part. Parents are reminded to pick their children up at the completion time listed for the activity they are participating in. Recreation staff are not responsible for participants once their class is completed (they are not paid to wait for parents who are late in picking up their children). We also ask parents to stress to their children that when they are in a school building, they should go directly to their program activity area and not wander around the building. We do not wish to lose our privilege to utilize these facilities because of participants being where they should not be. Your cooperation with this is greatly appreciated.
3. Disruptive Participants
During the course of our programs, there have been times that disruptive participants have impacted our classes. Our instructors try to work with these participants; however, sometimes the behavior becomes such that it affects the ability of the other students to learn, of the instructor to teach, or provide a safe learning environment. The following procedure will be in effect if problems occur:
a. Verbal contact between instructor and program participant and/or parent.
b. Verbal contact between the Recreation Department and program participant and/or parent.
c. Reoccurrence following these conversations will result in removal from the program.
There will be no refund of fees for individuals removed from programs due to disruptive behavior. The determination of program offering depends on the number of registered participants.
4. On-site Registration
Instructors will not accept registration or payment at the class site. All registration transactions must be complete at the Recreation Department or Fitness Center prior to classes starting, or by the sign-up deadline. The price of the class is increased by $10 if you register the day of or after the class has started.
5. Reduce / Waiver of Fees
The Shorewood Recreation and Community Services Department recognizes that some of the resident of the Village of Shore-
wood may require financial assistance to participate in recreation programs. If your child attends Shorewood Public Schools and has qualified for Shorewood’s Nutritional Services Free and Reduced Meal Program, the student and their family members may receive the reduced program fees as listed below. Please indicate your participation in the Shorewood Nutritional Services Free and Reduced Meal Program on your registration form. If you live in the Village of Shorewood, you may qualify for reduced program fees. Please complete a reduced program fee form and return the form to the Shorewood Recreation Department.

Upon approval of your request, payment will be required prior to participation in the program. Reduced program fees are not granted after the registration has been processed.

Cost of Class Discount on Program Fees
Up to $10 Minimum payment of $5 $10.01 - $29.99 $5 discount $30 and above $10 discount
Programs that do not qualify for a discount rate include vendor programs, field trips, co-op programs, and Activity Nights. The Recreation Department does not want to exclude any Shorewood Public School student or a student that lives in Shorewood who may be unable to participate due to financial hardship. If a family is unable to pay the entire youth program fee, the parent/guardian should contact the Department in writing and arrangements may be made so that the youth is able to participate at a further reduced program fee. The Recreation Department does offer payment plan options.
