Lottery Swim Lesson Registration for Residents
WHY a lottery system this year? After reviewing completed surveys of last years’ swim lesson registration, the general request was to change the process of registration to eliminate waiting in lines on a specific “Swim Lesson Registration Day”. The Huntley Park District’s Lottery Swim Lesson Registration process was developed to permit fair access to park district swim lessons for all our residents. By using a lottery system for program registration, you need not wait and stand in long lines to register. Lottery registration is fair for today’s busy families, since you can drop it off any time before the initial deadline.
WHAT is lottery? The lottery is a computerized software program that works with our current registration system. Lottery swim lesson registration begins the day you receive your Huntley Park District Summer 2008 brochure in the mail and lasts through the resident priority registration deadline of 4pm, Saturday, April 26, 2008. Once all lottery swim lesson registrations have been processed, the software program then randomly selects who will be registered for the class and who will be placed on a wait list. Each person’s chances are the same as long as registrations are received before the lottery deadline. Remember to take advantage of the 2nd and 3rd choice options. Many lessons are in high demand and specifying alternate choices is the best way to avoid disappointment. Enrollment confirmations are then mailed to all households participating in the Lottery the week of May 5, 2008. Those placed on the wait list are then contacted by the Park District to make alternative arrangements.
WHO is eligible for Lottery swim lesson registrations? Residents of the Huntley Park District. A resident is anyone living within the geographic boundaries of the Huntley Park District. Registration is limited to only one lesson per child.
WHERE do you drop off Lottery swim lesson registrations? Registration begins the day you receive your Huntley Park District Summer 2008 Brochure. Forms and payment will be accepted at the Huntley Park District REC Center Registration Office, 12015 Mill Street, Huntley, IL Monday through Thursday, 5:30am to 9pm, Friday, 5:30am to 8pm, Saturday, 7am to 4pm and Sunday, Noon to 4pm. Lottery Swim Lesson Registration forms and payment will be accepted through Saturday April 26, 2008, 4pm. The only method ofregistration will be by walk-in at the registration office. Payment is required at the time of registration.
WHEN is Lottery Swim Lesson Registration? Registration begins the day you receive your Huntley Park District 2008 Summer Brochure in the mail and lasts through the Resident Priority Registration Deadline of 4 pm, Saturday, April 26, 2008. Non-residents or residents who miss the lottery may begin open registration on May 5, 2008 at 9am at the Huntley Park District REC Center, 12015 Mill Street, Huntley, IL.
Lottery Refund Policy: In special cases when enrollment may be wait listed due to a full class, a credit in the amount of the payment will be issued to the household. If the household chooses not to use the credit, the office must be contacted before a refund check or credit to credit card can be processed. NO OTHER REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN.
