Youth Program Changes
Wednesday, August 11, 2021
Together with District 35, we’ve made the difficult decision to delay the start of certain after-school programming by one week. Instead of starting the week of August 30, certain after-school programming will now start on September 8. The new start date is designed to give everyone—teachers, students, and park district staff—time to adjust to new school COVID-19 protocols.
Programs with new start dates will be given a prorated refund. More information will be sent to participants via email on August 24, 2021.
Kids Club, our before and after school care program, will still start on August 23. If you were relying on an enrichment or sports program for care the first week of school, we are offering After School Emergency Care, which allows you to participate in Kids Club for a single day. Any District 35 student affected by the Park District schedule change is eligible for a discounted rate on After School Emergency Care.
We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this decision may cause. Participant refunds will be issued within 7 business days. For refunds less than $10, a household credit will be issued to be used toward payment for future programs.
