IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. Payment in full required upon registration.  Payment can be made by credit or debit card, or electronic check.
2. Registration will close on the specified date above, or sooner if class reaches full capacity.  An option to register for the waitlist may be offered for a limited amount of time after registration closes.  You will only be contacted if we are able to offer you a spot.
3. There are no make-ups for the Spring II, Summer, or September sessions when lessons are only offered on Monday nights.
4. Placement in lesson groups is done at the discretion of the Director, and not all special requests can be accommodated.  Students are grouped by age, so siblings are not ordinarily in the same lesson group. 
5. Siblings.   Whenever we can, we try to assign siblings to lesson groups at the same time so that they can skate together during the independent practice time.  Priority is given, however,  to placing each child in the most appropriate lesson group.  If it is not possible for siblings to be in lessons at the same time, we try to keep them within the same 60 minute slot.  If you are registering multiple skaters from one family with different last names, please indicate the other family member names in the questions/comments box so that the director is aware of the relation and can try to place them in lessons at the same time.

If you are registering more than one skater from the same family in a session at full price, you will receive a $20 discount on the second registration fee and $30 discount on the third and fourth  registration fee.  In order for the registration system to recognize that your family is registering multiple players, please register all of your players at this time.  On the Review Page, there is a link near the bottom to "Register Another Player" - please click on this link to ensure that all of your family's players are registered within the same order.   If you feel you did not get the correct sibling discount, please email Linda Z at lzahn@nycap.rr.com.

Failure to do so will result in a forfeiture of your family's discounted rates.
