PREP

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I receive confirmation of enrollment?

Online registrations will get an automatic email confirmation. Mailed registrations will be confirmed within seven business days of receipt of your registration.

Age and Eligibility

Participants must be the appropriate age on the first day of class or entering the appropriate grade in the fall of the current calendar year. Adult classes are for participants 18 years or older, unless otherwise specified.

Americans With Disabilities Act

The Patriot Recreation Education Program will not discriminate against eligible residents for participation on the basis of a disabling condition. We invite any community member with a special need to contact our staff upon registration so that a smooth inclusion may occur.

Do I need insurance?

For insurance purposes, PREP programs and activities require a signed waiver. PREP is not responsible for supervision of children arriving on site prior to or remaining on site after the established program times.

Can I make up missed classes?

In order to preserve the safety of the participant-to-staff ratio and the quality of the classes, PREP does not provide for or allow make-up classes. There will be make-up classes for classes missed which are caused by PREP.

Does PREP prorate?

No, PREP does not prorate for any of its camps, classes, or programs.

Can I withdraw from a class?

We will issue a full refund of the fee paid prior to two weeks before the start of the program (one week for sports camps). Less than two weeks prior to a program's start date, we will refund your fee paid less 10%. After the start of the program, no refunds will be given. Written requests can be submitted via email to prep@d125.org.

How do I register for classes?

You may register online with a credit card or by mail with a check.

Registrations will be processed by the date received. PREP will return any illegible or in-complete registration.

Who provides transportation?

Transportation for all courses is the responsibility of the participant or parent unless expressly indicated.

Can I transfer to another class?

When class size permits, participants may request a transfer from one program to another in writing, one week prior to class start.

How do I get the Senior Fee?

Participants age 60 or older are eligible to receive the Senior Fee on select classes. Discounts will be automatically applied at checkout. Seniors may register for selected PREP classes at a reduced fee, provided the minimum enrollment for the class is met (selected classes have senior pricing listed in their description). Textbook, food supply fees, etc are additional. No other discounts apply.

Can I smoke on campus?

The District 125 non-smoking policy prohibits smoking on the Stevenson premises for students, faculty and visitors. 

What happens when a class is full?

When a class reaches its maximum enrollment a waiting list is established. If an opening occurs, or a new class is formed, you will be notified.
