At any time we reserve the right to refuse an excessively early participant due to lack of available staff until the start time of the program. • When arriving at and departing from a program, parent/ guardians are asked to check in and out with the staff person in charge of the program. If a participant is to be picked up by someone unfamiliar to HISRA staff the parent/guardian is asked to notify HISRA staff in writing. • If you request HISRA staff to dispense medication during programs or trips, the medicine MUST be in the original prescription packaging that shows the dosage and administration instructions. All medication administration forms must be filled out. • Siblings or friends may participate in programs if space is available. A completed registration form, with the waiver signed, accompanied by payment must be received prior to attendance. • Participants are encouraged not to bring unnecessary valuable personal items to programs. HISRA is not responsible for theft or loss during activities or events. • If attending a movie, HISRA will choose the film according to age appropriateness whenever possible (Camps and Kids Korner: PG; Sunday Cinema & Adult Programs: PG or PG-13). The theaters do not guarantee weekend movie times until Friday. HISRA will call with applicable times on the Friday prior to the activity or event. • Any alcohol consumed at any HISRA event or program must be paid for by the individual participant. No HISRA funds will be used to purchase alcohol. • Minimum and Maximum requirements have been established for each camp and program. If minimum registration requirements are not met, HISRA may be forced to cancel a program. HISRA reserves the right to adjust minimum and maximum registration requirements to accommodate the staffing needs of individual registrants.

ALL THE DETAILS All forms are available online at http://www.peoriaparks.org/heart-of-illinois-special-recreation MEMBER DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION

HISRA makes every effort to make your participation in programs possible. HISRA may cancel member district transportation if enrollment is low or no member district residents are using transportation. Fees will be assessed for non-resident use of member district transportation.

MORTON RESIDENTS

Morton Residents may register and pay for any programs at the Morton Park District office; however, to guarantee space is available, your best bet is to register directly through the HISRA office (691-1929).

PAYMENT OPTIONS

Payment is required at the time of registration. HISRA accepts Cash, Checks, Credit Cards and Money Orders. If payment plan options are needed – please contact the HISRA office. HISRA is willing to work with participants on extenuating circumstances for payment. Please notify HISRA of your need as soon as possible when registering.

ELECTRONIC CHECK CONVERSION

When you provide a check as payment, you authorize HISRA and the Peoria Park District to use information from the check to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your account. Funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon as the same day we receive your payment, and you will not receive your check back from your financial institution. In the event your check is not honored due to insufficient funds/account closure, you shall be liable for the amount of the check plus $30 (per check) for costs incurred by HISRA. In the event HISRA commences a collection action in the court, you shall be liable for all costs and expenses incurred by HISRA in connection with the collection of the check and any other damages permitted under Illinois law.

SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS

Limited funds are available for residents of our member districts to those demonstrating financial need–please contact the HISRA office for details.

REFUND POLICY

A full or partial refund will be considered if: • HISRA must cancel a program. • An ongoing program is deemed inappropriate for a participant. • We receive a WRITTEN NOTICE of cancellation from you within four (4) working days prior to program start date, unless otherwise noted (camps require a 2 week written notice of cancellation). • If HISRA was required to purchase advance tickets, entry fees or supplies, only a partial refund will be made. • Excessive cancellations may result in reduced refunds due 12 – Winter/Spring 2013

to processing fees. • Refunds will not be given to participants who do not show up for programs for which they have registered.

PROGRAM CHANGES/CANCELLATIONS

• Programs have minimums and maximums, and are filled on a first come, first served basis. HISRA reserves the right to add, omit and otherwise change any or all of the program provisions (including advertised fees and charges) outlined in this brochure when deemed in the best interest of the participants. Such changes may also be instituted due to situations which develop that are beyond our control. • HISRA reserves the right to modify or postpone programs, or change instructors. • In the event of severe weather, HISRA may be forced to cancel programs. HISRA staff attempt to make these decisions as early as possible in order to notify participants in a timely manner by phone. Please call the HISRA office to verify if a program has been cancelled. If a program has insufficient registration, HISRA staff will attempt to notify the participant or adult contact by phone at least four days in advance.

CODE OF CONDUCT HEART OF ILLINOIS SPECIAL RECREATION ASSOCIATION CODE OF CONDUCT

• The following guidelines have been developed to help make the Heart of Illinois Special Recreation Association (HISRA) programs and services safe and enjoyable for all participants. Additional rules may be developed for particular programs as deemed necessary by staff. The team at HISRA is committed to providing a safe, needs-satisfying, growth-oriented experience for every participant. We believe discipline is not merely a list of expectations, but rather an approach to teaching skills in self-control, responsible choice making, and appropriate community participation. • A positive approach will be used regarding discipline. Staff will periodically review rules with participants during the program session. Prompt resolution will be sought specific to each individual situation. HISRA reserves the right to dismiss a participant whose behavior endangers the safety of himself or others assuming the procedures listed below are implemented and followed accordingly. • Individual needs are taken into consideration. Disability information should be identified in advance to the program supervisor/staff so appropriate supports may be put in place. Please be sure your Annual Information Form is current and update staff with any changes. • The following are guidelines that may be imposed in the disciplinary action process. These guidelines in no way guarantee that a participant will necessarily receive each level before dismissal based on the severity of the action. Also, please note that when programs are held at non-HISRA/Park District facilities, private facility rules take precedence over program code of conduct. LEVEL 1 The resolution of Level 1 behaviors is primarily the responsibility of program leaders and staff members. Level 1 behaviors include, but are not limited to the following: • Purposely distracting others • Inappropriate remarks • Inappropriate contact • Littering • Inappropriate dress • Pushing and/or shoving • Profanity and/or obscenity • Excessive/loud talking • Throwing objects • Refusal to follow instruction

LEVEL 2 These interventions are the responsibility of Program Supervisor (or designee) with assistance from leaders/ staff. Level 2 behaviors include, but are not limited to the following: • Possession of harmful objects • Discriminatory conduct • Intimidation/threats • Possession of stolen property • Unauthorized gambling • Theft • Damage to property • Persistent Level 1 behaviors • Disregard for others’ safety • Fighting, kicking, biting, spitting, pinching • Leaving grounds without permission LEVEL 3 These interventions are the responsibility of the Program Supervisor with consultation from Executive Director. Level 3 behaviors include, but are not limited to the following: • Persistent Level 2 behaviors • Arson/attempted arson • Sexual Misconduct • Possession of explosives • Burglary/robbery • Group violence • Use/possession of a weapon • Bomb threats • Use of a tool as a weapon • Endangerment • Vandalism • Fire alarms • Possession of stolen property • Interference with staff authority • Severe or repeated physical aggression • Abuse and/or harassment: verbal, physical, sexual, and emotional

EACH INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOR WILL BE ADDRESSED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS WITH CONSIDERATION OF INDIVIDUAL DISABILITIES, MEDICAL ISSUES AND BEHAVIOR PLANS.
