  1. Hello, For some reason the registration page is not showing up on my laptop. It says the Site Cannot Be Reached. I do not know how to change the Proxy settings. If you have any tips, that would be great. I will keep trying in case there was an internet problem.

    1. Hi Krista!
      Have you tried the instructions we posted in our social media? If you don’t follow us on FB or Twitter, here is what we posted (its a pain, but might work). If nothing works, we can register you from within the site, but that’s a last resort because you have to give us your credit card info. Potential Registration Trouble Solutions:
      Some district wifi connections block the website. If you seem to run into trouble registering from a school computer, try again at home or using data instead of school wifi and use Chrome as your browser.
      1. Clear your cookies from computer/browser and try again
      2. Open the link up in incognito mode (control + shift + n if using google chrome browser)
      3. Try opening it using different internet connections (home wifi, school wifi, or if you have data, try that).
      4. It seems to work best using google chrome as a browser
      We are also noticing that sometimes the website takes 5 or so minutes to load—it shows a wheel constantly spinning. If this is the case, allow it 5+ minutes to load up.
      Good grief right?
