GENERAL POLICIES ABOUT PARTICIPATION IN PARKS & RECREATION PROGRAMS AGES INDICATED Children must be the age indicated on or before the FIRST class session. SPECTATORS One of the fundamental instructional program goals is to provide your child with a fun and positive learning opportunity with their peers while developing separation skills. Parents are welcome to observe the last scheduled class of the semester. (Exception: Swim lessons, spectators are permitted on the first day also.) For the best instructional atmosphere, observation of other class sessions is not permitted. Please feel free to discuss your child's progress before and after class with the instructor. � Parent/Child classes MAKEUPS Classes missed for individual absences (ie: illness, vacations, etc.) are not "made up" nor may participants attend classes other than the one they are registered for. SELF-CARE In classes where caregivers are not required, children must be able to provide self-care in a group setting (ie: able to wash hands and use restroom facilities without assistance). ROUND UP SPONSORSHIPS The Department does not wish to exclude any City of Greenfield youth from participation on the basis of their ability to pay. There is an opportunity during registration to donate to help this cause by "rounding up" your registration fee to provide financial assistance for those unable to afford program fees for youth programs. A donation line is included on the registration form � you can donate any amount you see fit by adding the amount to your program fee total. Persons who feel they are unable to afford the cost of a youth activity may apply for a reduction of fees utilizing the "Round Up" Sponsorship donations which help fund these requests. City of Greenfield residents may apply for financial assistance by contacting the Parks & Recreation Department office at least one week prior to registering for youth programs.

We will read about The Vanishing Pumpkin, One Little...Two Little...Three Little Pilgrims ....all while sampling your creative concoctions each time. Please indicate, at time of registration, any food allergies the student may have. Session I - The Vanishing Pumpkin by Tony Johnston. An old man and woman go out to their garden to pick a very special pumpkin. But wait! The pumpkin has vanished! They must find it, but where? Session II - One Little, Two Little, Three Little Pilgrims by B. G. Hennessy. Ten little Pilgrims and ten little Wampanoag boys and girls are getting ready for the harvest feast. In colonial Plymouth, the young Pilgrims hunt ducks and geese and dig up turnips and carrots. In a nearby village, the Wampanoag children dig for clams, fish for cod, and gather nuts and berries. Finally, it's time for the meal. Turkey, cornbread, cranberry stuffing, pumpkin, and Indian pudding are all on the menu-yum! First, everyone gives thanks, and then it's time to eat and celebrate. Session III - Christmas Mice! by Bethany Roberts. In this simple, rhymed story, mice joyfully bounce through their holiday preparations, decorating their house, wrapping presents, trimming their tree, baking cookies, and singing "Jingle Bells." Suddenly they see footprints- their old enemy, the cat, is lurking nearby! But all ends well in this story of peace and brotherhood.

Children who learn Tae Kwon Do also benefit from increased self-esteem, more confidence and assertiveness, more focus and concentration, better discipline and self-control, respect for authority, self-defense and physical activity. Children who study this art will learn when it is okay to use it as the code. The martial artist forbids unfair assaults or unnecessary use of force so it is for emergencies only. TEEN/ADULT (Ages 13+) Tae Kwon Do is great for mental, physical and spiritual development. Become more flexible, agile, and physically stronger while increasing balance.

It is set up to help females to utilize the same basic movement for MANY scenarios. This movement is something that is a part of our everyday life, since we were infants, so it makes it easy to remember and to use. In self-defense scenarios, a quick, simple solution is the key. Not only will the victim be able to use this movement to defend herself, but she will be WILLING to do so, a key factor that many victims assume will be easy. By the end of the class, students will see that the movement makes sense, it's easy to do and students will be willing to do it. Isn't your safety worth two hours?

Agendas and minutes are available at www.greenfieldwi.us. Click on "calendars/meetings/agendas" for information on meeting dates, times and location. Residents are invited to attend and are welcome to make suggestions or comments. cooperative Programming What does this mean? When you see this symbol, it means this program is being made available as part of a cooperative programming agreement with other local departments or agencies. Individually, each department or agency may not have the facility or instructor or enrollment necessary to offer the program. In working together, the cooperative departments are able to better serve the needs of their residents by expanded program opportunities. Photographs For program promotion purposes, from time to time photographs will be taken of participants. If you do not wish to have your photo taken, please tell the photographer and/or class instructor. nondiscrimination Policy It is the policy of the City of Greenfield Department of Parks and Recreation that no person shall, on the basis of race, color or disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any City of greenfield sponsored program, activity or employment. Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act, the City of Greenfield will make every reasonable effort to accommodate persons with disabilities in the provision of City services, programs or activities. If you require special accommodation in order to participate, please inform us when you register. new Program ideas The Department of Parks & Recreation is always receptive to suggestions for the development of "new" program offerings. Please feel free to give us a call with your ideas. non-resident Policy Definition: In the case of non-resident participation, it is generally accepted that non-resident users should contribute an additional fee to offset their non-tax status. A non-resident is defined as a person who does not reside or own property within the corporate limits of the City of Greenfield ( in general, does not directly contribute to City of Greenfield property taxes). User Fee Surcharge: Persons defined as a nonresident of the City of Greenfield are required to remit double (100% surcharge) the adopted resident program/service fee (i.e. resident fee of $10 = non-resident fee of $20). Non-residents who falsely register, shall forfeit their privilege to participate and any related fees collected will be retained by the Department (no refund given). Exception to non-resident user fee/surcharge: � Non-residents who reside within the Whitnall School District will not be assessed a non-resident surcharge when registering for any specific program or league that utilizes Whitnall School District facilities. � Non-residents employed by the City of Greenfield (and spouse; children within immediate household) are exempt from any nonresident related surcharges. � Persons who pay partial City of Greenfield property taxes, are entitled to a prorated nonresident surcharge based on the percentage of their City of Greenfield tax contribution in relation to their overall property tax bill (payment to other City/Village/ Township entities). In example: If 20% of your overall property tax bill is paid to the City of Greenfield, your non-resident surcharge rate would be 80% (i.e., resident fee of $10 = adjusted non-resident fee of $18). lost and found If you have lost or misplaced an item in one of our parks or program facilities, please contact the Parks & Recreation Department office. Articles that are found and turned into the office are kept for 60 days. After that period of time, the items are donated to a local charitable organization. The Department of Parks & Recreation and related facility providers are not responsible for any lost or stolen items. school district cooperation The Department of Parks & Recreation would like to thank both the Greenfield School District and the Whitnall School District for their support and cooperation with facility scheduling. However, due to school athletic and education programming, some recreation activities may need to be cancelled or rescheduled. The community's understanding during these times is appreciated. tyPo, we Goofed? Occasionally there may be an error in days, times, registration requirements, locations or fees.
