Wondering which activities require caregiver registration?

On page 13 in the catalog you'll find the 'Caregiver Events' section. That lists all activities for caregivers. Note that only one caregiver per group needs to register for a dance.

Have questions? Contact us at projectexplore@district196.org or call us at 651-423-7931 with any questions.

For assistance with a registration call 651-423-7920.
