Important: the program lottery is back!
Based on feedback from families NSSRA is going back to a lottery system for program registration. When participants register for a program, they will be put into a Lottery Enrollment until the lottery is conducted. Lottery enrollment will be open for the first week of registration only. You don’ t need to make any payment during lottery registration. The outcome of the lottery will be communicated to all participants by noon on Tuesday, February 17. You will receive a receipt via your primary email address, which will list all lottery programs with the enrollment status( Enrolled or Waitlist). Registration will switch to first come, first served( FCFS) for any remaining slots at the conclusion of the lottery. Payment for winter programs will be expected by Friday, March 6.
Waitlist
If the program you selected is in high demand, you may be placed on the waiting list. Your position on the list will be determined by the lottery results and will be specified on your receipt. We will do our best to accommodate the waitlists. Openings in programs are dependent on factors such as staff availability, transportation, facility space, and pre-purchased tickets. Staff will regularly review the waitlists during the season and will contact you if a spot becomes available in a program.
