Fees are based on the operating costs of the program. The use of fees allows those who benefit directly from a program to help pay for that program’s cost.
NOTE: FEES ARE BASED ON 8 CLASSES PER SESSION. IF AT LEAST 8 CLASSES PER SESSION ARE HELD, MISSED CLASSES MAY NOT BE MADE UP.
Most programs are open to both Rahway residents and non-residents and proof of residency (driver’s license, tax bill, utility bill or lease with a Rahway address) may be required. This may include children of Rahway taxpayers or those who receive regular daily care from a relative who is a Rahway resident. If enrollment is premised upon regular daily care of a child by a relative who is a Rahway resident, a sworn statement affirming the relationship and care arrangement from the parent or guardian of the child enrolled may be required.
Rahway residents who are 62 or older on the date of registration may enroll in any program for a fee of $5 per session. Non-residents senior citizens must pay the published non-resident program fee. Participants must meet the required age or grade level as specified in the program description at the time of registration. When registering your child for the first time for any program, a copy of the birth certificate may be required.
Any person found participating in a program in which he or she has not been properly registered will be ejected from the activity. Falsification of information is grounds for removal from the program without reimbursement of the fee.
INSURANCEThe City of Rahway does not provide primary or supplemental medical insurance coverage. Each program participant assumes responsibility for his or her own medical treatment if required.
CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDSAll programs require a minimum enrollment. Full refunds will be issued in the event of program cancellation.
