26-27 School Year Registration

Priority Registration for the 26-27 School Year Classes will go as follows:

Priority Registration

• “Wave 1”: All families actively enrolled in a Mini Hops class in August 2026
• “Wave 2”: All classes open to all

A few notes:

• Priority registration applies to the whole family, not just a singular student.
• Regardless of your registration day, you must be enrolled in the month of August in order to register.
• There will not be a priority registration day for families on the waitlist. Registration will be available to these families on August 1st when registration opens to all.
• Schedules will be available mid July.

Dates and Times

• Registration will take place daily from July 28 – August 1st. 
• Registration will open at 10pm each day.
• Each day of registration, different programs will be available.
• In order to prepare for the following day, classes will go dark at 9:50pm nightly.
• Summer classes will not be available online during registration.

Registering for Multiple Classes

We often see families register for multiple classes during registration to make sure they get the right class. If you do this, please make sure to drop the classes you no longer want to avoid being charged.

Although we ask that you do this as early as possible to allow others to register, you must drop by August 25th in order to avoid being charged. The first charge for school year classes will take place on August 26th. Once we charge, we do not offer credits or refunds. If you are registered for multiple classes, we will assume that you want to be registered for those classes.

Why are we eliminating the Waitlist 2nd Priority Category? 

First, we are continually working to make the Mini Hops registration process simpler and less confusing. With multiple registration dates, the process can become drawn out, making it harder for families to keep track of when registration opens for them. By eliminating the waitlist priority category, registration can now take place within a single week, creating a more streamlined and user-friendly process for everyone.

Additionally, in recent registration periods we have not seen the influx of registrations within this category to justify maintaining it. Combined with our goal of simplifying the overall process, it made sense to remove the category moving forward.
