*Legal Guardians are those individuals who have been given the LEGAL authority to make decisions on behalf of a minor.  Friends of the family, non-parent relatives, etc. who are in temporary custody of a minor may NOT claim legal guardianship.  In the event a parent or legal guardian is unable to accompany the minor at the time of registration, the Town will accept a notarized signature on the official waiver form.  The waiver form may be downloaded from this site.  Just click WAIVER
