Attention Parents With the children’s best interest in mind, parents and friends are asked to not remain in the classroom or gym during class time. The Park District asks instructors to enforce this policy so that children may devote their attention to the class without any outside interruptions. This policy is for safety as well as learning experiences. Children outside of the classroom should have adult supervision at all times. A Parent Day may be scheduled in some programs. 28 • Resident Registration begins March 21 | Non-resident Registration begins March 30 General Information Fun Begins!
