Important Registration Information

Enrollment

Registrations will be processed in the order in which they are received. Enrollment is not guaranteed. We reserve the right to cancel classes because of low enrollment after a class has started and to close further enrollment when a class is filled. All participants must register and pay for classes prior to attending the first session.

For Your Safety

Milwaukee Recreation facilities may require individuals to be scanned upon entry.  All bags, coats, and personal items entering the facility are also subject to search.

Official Notice to Inform All MPS Parents and Employees about Asbestos Containing Materials Inside School Buildings is Hereby Given:

According to the United States E.P.A., the A.H.E.R.A. Regulation requires annual notification to all employees and parents/guardians regarding asbestos containing materials inside school buildings. Management Plans specifying locations, condition, and past response actions of these materials are located in the respective engineer’s office for each site and are available for review during normal school hours as required by A.H.E.R.A. In the ongoing program to safely maintain asbestos-containing materials, MPS conducts surveillances, and 3-year reinspections, and implements appropriate response actions. If interested parties have specific questions relating to the Milwaukee Public School District policy or the scheduling of asbestos related activities planned or in progress, please contact the MPS Environmental Services Department at (414) 283-4626.
