Community Use of Facilities

Do you need a place to meet or play? District 196 encourages the use of school facilities by citizens of all ages. Community Education is responsible for coordinating community use of district facilities. See school calendars and facility request information.

Community users include (but are not limited) to:

• neighborhood groups
• families and individuals
• parents
• athletic associations
• community nonprofit groups
• city Parks and Recreation departments
• businesses
• youth groups
• religious/faith organizations
• conferences and special events

Facilities are available during non-school hours. General hours of operation during the school year are Monday-Friday 6-10 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Additional days and times may be available upon request.

To ensure excellent customer service and building security, Community Education provides on-site supervision for all community groups. Certified lifeguards are provided for all pool rentals.

Community Education also coordinates requests for school equipment related to the activity (on-site use only); schedules custodians or other special staff as required; and assists in coordinating large events that need significant space.

Submit your request for facilities at least three weeks prior to the date needed. Events involving 200 persons or more should be submitted at least six weeks early.
