or email figureskating@sriha.org)
 
Within this packet you will find a Waiver and Release of Liability form 
and a Parents Code of Conduct form.  We ask that you please read, sign 
and return these forms to Susan Schmelling before your skater steps on the ice. 
 
If you or someone you know may be interested in our Basic Skills Program, please 
spread the word that we accepting new students, including adults!  The price of the 
Basic Skills Program is $95.00. This includes the annual insurance fee ($7.50) submitted 
to the US Figure Skating office for each skater. All registration fees must be paid before 
a skater steps on the ice.
 
Rules & Regulations for the Basic Skills Program:
Our Basic Skills Program will start Sunday, October 26, 2008.  The annual Ice Show 
will be scheduled in March 2009, with the year-end banquet in April 2009. 
 
In order to have lessons run smoothly and allow parents / guardians and skaters 
to be less frazzled; please arrive 15 minutes prior to lesson time.  This will allow 
time needed for lesson preparation (i.e. asking questions, tying skates, finding that 
missing mitten, etc.).
 
US Figure Skating mandates all children 6 years old and younger MUST wear a helmet!  
NO helmet, NO ice, NO EXCEPTIONS.  Also please make sure your child is not eating or 
chewing gum when on the ice.  As listed with registration, an assigned 30-minute lesson 
time will be followed by a 30-minute practice time for each student enrolled. Please 
arrive rink side at your assigned time and leave when the practice time is over.

Fundraising is Required:
Throughout the season the entire Salmon River Ice Hockey Association and the 
Salmon River Skating School must do several fundraising activities in order to keep 
our organization running strong. The first fundraiser will be raffle tickets. Each registrant 
will receive 50 tickets to sell at $2.00 each.  This simple task helps pay for our ice time.
 
Public Skate Assistance is Required:
If you are new to the program, join the fun of Public Skate nights.  The Salmon River 
Ice Hockey Association Public Skate times are worked entirely by VOLUNTEERS!  The 
proceeds help to improve and maintain our rink!  We need your help!  Working only 
one public skate will make a huge difference!  You may choose to buy out your time 
for $50.00, but the time would be much more beneficial.  This must be remitted at the 
time of registration. 
 
Starting October 2008 Public Skate sessions are scheduled every Friday and Saturday 
evening from 7:15pm to 9:30pm.  You will be contacted for an assigned date. 
 
Examples of Public Skate activities include: taking admissions, working the snack bar, 
managing skate rentals, checking & cleaning the bathrooms, even driving the zamboni.  
The Public Skate Schedule has the Skating School assignments posted on the white 
board in the rink lobby.  Please take time to help our rink and have fun in the process.  
Your cooperation is needed and would be greatly appreciated.
 
And We Need MORE VOLUNTEERS!!!
The Salmon River Ice Hockey Association requires the Salmon River Skating School 
to have a governing system.  This will make our Skating School run more efficiently 
and even out workloads associated with the skating school responsibilities. 
Positions include: Registrar, Public Skate Coordinator, Snack Bar Coordinator, Fund 
Raising Coordinator, Ice Time Scheduling Coordinator, plus assistance with our 
Annual Show.
 
If you should have questions on ANYTHING, please feel free to contact us.       
 
From everyone in the Salmon River Skating School 
 
Happy Skating!
