General notes and tips:
In some browsers, the above operation creates a new tab in the browser with the label “2011-2012 Login”. You have to click on this tab to see the Login page for the online registration process.
To make the print larger or smaller on the registration site, click on the View menu of your browser and choose either "Zoom" or "Text Size".
On pages with many input fields, you can use the Tab key to quickly move from field to field in the forward direction, and Shift Tab to move in the reverse direction.
Please create only one account per family/household. All your children can be registered using the same account.
Do NOT use your browser's back and forward buttons, use only the buttons provided by the registratons application, otherwise unexpected behaviour may occur.
This is only the second year this application has been on use so, while we have made every effort to thoroughly test it and get all the bugs out, someone is bound to find one that got by us. If you are the one and something strange happens, don't panic. If possible, save and exit, and email Chris Carter, providing a description of the problem and we will get things sorted out for you.
