In an effort to better serve the growing number of Arlingtonians who enjoy our classes, the Department of Parks and Recreation is moving up and dividing class registration times. On August 14, resident online registration opens only for Gymnastics classes at 7:00 a.m. and for ALL OTHER classes online registration begins at 7:30 a.m. This change reflects two issues. First, the number of people registering for recreation classes during the first minutes of the online registration has increased by 40% over the last year. We’ve made a number of technical changes to support this

growth; we hope that separating gymnastics, which constitutes close to half of the classes, from the other offerings will improve the speed of the online system and reduce phone call wait times. What’s more, many people asked that we move the entire registration process earlier as the old opening time conflicted with many families’ general morning rush. Parks and Recreation continues to look for ways to make class registration easier (such as the new online registration portal) and support the commu-nity’s interest in recreation classes in general.

Con el afán de ofrecer un mejor servicio al creciente número de personas que disfrutan de nuestras clases, el Departamento de Parques y Recreación está realizando mejoras en sus servicios y ha dividido los horarios de inscripción a las clases. El 14 de agosto, la inscripción en línea abrirá a las 7.00 am únicamente para las clases de gimnasia (para residentes de Arlington). Para TODAS LAS DEMÁS clases, la inscripción en línea comenzará a las 7.30 am. Este cambio se debe a dos cuestiones principales. En primer lugar, la cantidad de personas que se inscriben a las clases recreativas durante los primeros minutos de inscripción en línea ha aumentado un 40 % en el último año. Hemos implementado

una serie de cambios técnicos para respaldar este crecimiento. Esperamos que al separar la inscripción a las clases de gimnasia, las cuales representan casi la mitad de todas las clases que se ofrecen, se mejore la velocidad del sistema y reduzca el tiempo de espera por teléfono. En segundo lugar, muchas personas han solicitado que adelantemos todo el proceso de inscripción, ya que el horario de apertura anterior interfería con la hora pico de la mañana de la mayoría de las familias. El Departamento de Parques y Recreación continúa buscando métodos para facilitar la inscripción a las clases (como el nuevo portal de inscripción en línea) y continuar respaldando el interés de la comunidad en las clases recreativas en general.
