Spring brings change…

With the shifting of the seasons the Town is also experiencing some change as it transitions to a new registration software for Recreation Services called Active Net which will be utilized for program registration and facility rentals.

This cloud-based system provides many upgraded features which we anticipate will improve customer service and will go live with a full launch in February 2015, just in time for the spring registration period.

You will find a fully mobile site for use on computers and personal mobile devices, including the ability to create your own online registration account in live time without waiting for staff setup and approval.

The online interface includes integrated facility location features, allowing for facility reservation applications and deposit payments to be submitted directly through the system, resulting in faster approval of rental applications.

As we move forward toward the Active Net launch we are requesting for some help from you, our residents. We would like you to look through this Activity Guide which features our current list of programs and activities. We then invite you to set up your customer account in the new system. You can do this by going to the website and creating an account by following the system prompts. By doing so your information will be readily available for you when you register for a program or when you reserve a facility.

Child Social Media and Digital Safety, 8–11Y: Our youth's ability to use social media and technology often outstrips their ability to judge and comprehend the risks and consequence that are involved. This presentation focuses on types of social media, behaviors we see from youth on these sites, and what parents can (and should) do to educate their children on developing healthy online habits and what it means to be a good (and safe) “Digital Citizen.”

Communicaton and Youth Self-Esteem: As our kids launch into adolescence, it becomes harder to get them to talk to us and to listen to what we have to say. Additionally, middle school seems to strip our kids of their sense of self, and they become obsessed with fitting in. Learn some effective tools for family communication and how to continue to build our youth's selfesteem in order to encourage confidence and healthier choices.

RESIDENCY STATUS CLARIFICATION

COURSE CANCELLATION

The program and facility fees cover a large portion of the actual costs, though Town of Danville residents also partially support the classes, events and facilities through their property tax assessments. Because of this, those program participants and individuals reserving Town facilities who live outside of Danville pay an additional non-resident charge. If you have any questions about this information, call 314-3400.

When registration falls below the minimum enrollment required, it may be necessary to cancel a class or program. At the time of cancellation, the Town will initiate a full refund. Check refunds may take 4–6 weeks.

PHOTO/VIDEO LIABILITY DISCLOSURE Photographs and video may be taken of participants during a class or program, and these photographs and video may be used for Town of Danville publicity purposes.

RAINOUTS AND CLASS MAKE-UPS Whenever possible, make-ups will be given on those occasions when inclement weather or instructor illness requires that a class be cancelled. See instructor at next scheduled meeting for make-up date.

Those living outside the Danville Town limits include residents of the communities of Alamo and Diablo, and Alamo Creek, Bettencourt Ranch, Blackhawk, Bryan Ranch, Monterosso, Shadow Creek and Whitegate housing developments.

Special Notice to Alamo Residents living in the Alamo County Service Area R-7A: all R-7A residents are eligible to register for Town-sponsored programs scheduled at Hap Magee Ranch Park during the resident registration period. Non-resident fees still apply for these classes and activities. Call 314-3400 for more information.

No refunds (whole or partial) can be given for classes missed by the student.

WAITLISTS Waitlists will be created once a class has reached maximum enrollment. If space becomes available, you will be called.

WITHDRAWALS (CREDITS/REFUNDS) Requests for withdrawal will be honored if requested no later than five business days prior to the first day of the class.

Requests made less than five business days prior to the first day of class must be submitted in writing and will be considered on an individual basis. A $20 processing fee will be charged for processing refunds.

Withdrawals for sports leagues may be approved if a team can be replaced before the first game.
