STORY TIME REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

Registration forms will be available in the Children’s Department on an on-going basis.

Parents need to fill out the registration information needed. Please make sure that the form is filled out completely! If your child has any allergies or any on-going health issues that we should know about, please note it on the lines about special needs.

All registrations must be in by deadline (see Monthly Highlights).

The registration slips will be put into a box, thoroughly mixed, and selected one by one, in lottery fashion.

A) New Milford residents are given preference over out-of-town or out-of-state patrons.

B) Only one registration form per child for each program will be allowed.

C) For all sessions except the Sept/Oct session (which is the first one of our school year), children who have not been in the previous session will be given preference over repeaters.

If your child’s registration form is selected, you will be notified. We will call you to confirm your registration status.

Once the story times are filled, the remaining forms will be kept for a waiting list for the current session (except for the May/June session, which is the last one for the year). If you wish to try for the next session, you will need to resubmit your form for the lottery in the fall.

Children must be the appropriate age for the story time they are signed up for by December 31, 2007.

FOR CANCELLATIONS DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER OR OTHER EMERGENCY SITUATIONS:

There will be no story time if school is cancelled; in the case of delays, call 355-1191 x 204 and check with the staff in the Children’s Dept.

Please listen to your local radio stations for school closings or delays.

Remember that story time is a serious commitment.

PLEASE BE PROMPT FOR YOU CHILD'S PROGRAM. Call us if your child will be absent. Thank you.
