POLICIES CONDUCT ORDINANCE

SMOKING ORDINANCE

In 2004, the Board of Park Commissioners adopted a comprehensive Conduct Ordinance that relates to the use of the parks and property owned, operated, maintained, or controlled by Palatine Park District. A copy of this ordinance can be viewed at palatineparks.org in the District Information section.

PARTICIPANT CODE OF CONDUCT In addition to the Conduct Ordinance of 2004, the Board of Park Commissioners has also approved Administrative Policy 2.13.1, Code of Conduct. This code of conduct is the minimum expected behavior of every participant to ensure the safety and positive experience of all involved. The District uses a three pillar positive behavior program as the platform to define the expected behavior of all participants. This platform is aligned and consistent with the program used within the local elementary schools to create consistency among children and parents whether at school or play at the park district. This Code of Conduct is also aligned and tied to the District’s Antibullying policy and the District’s Participant Disciplinary Policy when rules and expectations of the positive behavior program are violated. A copy of this policy can be viewed online at palatineparks.org in the District Information section.

A.D.A. COMPLIANCE

Palatine Park District intends to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act by making reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities. If you have any questions about the Park District’s compliance policy please contact one of our A.D.A. compliance officers: Ed Tynczuk, 148 W. Illinois Avenue, 847.705.5130, etynczuk@palatineparks.org or Donelda Danz, 250 E. Wood Street, 847.496.6203, ddanz@palatineparks.org.

CLASS DISMISSAL GUIDELINES

All children 11 and under are to remain in the classroom until a parent or authorized person comes into the classroom to pick them up. Parents are required to sign their child in and out of each class.

Parents of children ages 7–11 may opt to complete a Class Dismissal Permission Slip. This will allow the child to be released at the end of the scheduled class without a parent present.

These forms are available from your child’s instructor. A separate form will be required for each class attended and every new session.

ADULT SUPERVISION

When not participating in a class, children under 7 years old must be accompanied by an adult while in Park District facilities.

CHILD ENDANGERMENT

Any authorized person who exhibits signs of an impaired condition due to alcohol or drugs will not be allowed to leave a program site with the child/children.

PHOTO POLICY

Palatine Park District may take photographs of participants enrolled in Park District programs, special events, or people on Park District properties and parks. These photographs may be used in print, online, or other promotional materials and are for Park District use only.

Smoking or any use of a tobacco product is prohibited within 50 feet of all entrances to Palatine Park District buildings, in all Park District facilities, in all wooded areas on Park District property, and in all other locations where signs are posted prohibiting smoking. Smoking is allowed at Palatine Hills Golf Course and on the north side of the Clubhouse deck.

“Facilities” include all structures on Park District property including, but not limited to, swimming pools; skate, dog, and disc golf parks; riding arenas; shelters; gazebos; fishing pier; playgrounds; athletic fields; and amphitheater/bowl.

NWSRA PROVIDES OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH RECREATION FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES Palatine Park District is a member of a 17 park district cooperative which forms the Northwest Special Recreation Association (NWSRA).

SUPERHEROES UNITE!

DRAWING & PAINTING

Calling all superheroes! The citizens of Nova City need a patron superhero to save them from the evil clutches of the nefarious Colonel Mustard and his sidekick Hemlock. So what do they do?

They hold an audition, of course! Legions of fantastic, incredible, and uncanny characters descend upon City Hall hoping the mayor and police commissioner might marvel at their strange powers, which range from super strength to super speed, from mind reading to animal whispering, from quoting Shakespeare to pointing out irony.

Okay, so some superpowers are more helpful than others, but when Colonel Mustard unleashes a surprise attack on City Hall, both the mighty and the average must join together to bring justice and security to Nova City.

Students may be asked to provide simple costumes and props for the production. Tech Rehearsals will take place at Cutting Hall 10/30, 10/31, 11/1, 11/2.

FITNESS PRIME FLEX PLAN For older adults and those new to exercise.

Your body responds best to a variety of different movements and approaches to movement. Exercise properly and reward your body with positive change. A Prime Flex Punch Card or Flex Card gives you walk-in access to the following classes: MIXED PRIME FITNESS: This is a low impact class focusing on cardio and strength training appropriate for new exercisers and older adults.

PRIME AGILITY TRAINING: Enhance balance and coordination through drills which will help increase confidence and aid in cognitive awareness, and fall prevention.

PRIME BALANCE & STRENGTH: Focus on stability to improve balance, strength, and flexibility while also strengthening your core.

PRIME INTRO TO TAI CHI: Gentle flowing movements help reduce stress and improve health.

PRIME MOVERS LEVEL I: Appropriate low-impact movement for new exercisers and older adults. This class is less complex, using minimum force, for a shorter duration.

Exercisers have the option of using a chair when needed.

PRIME MOVERS LEVEL II: Enjoy all the elements of fitness: strength, aerobics, and flexibility. This class consists of warm-up, minimum force aerobics, body conditioning, stretch, and relaxation cool down.

Participants should be able to get up and down from the floor without assistance.

PRIME WEIGHTS: This is a full body strength and resistance class for healthy adults of all ages. Aging produces muscle loss and loss of strength; these declines are linked to an increased risk of falls, frailty, and loss of independence. Strength training will help improve or retain quality of life.

Class consists of light, low impact cardiovascular exercise, stretching, and toning of the upper and lower body. Physical activity reduces the risk of or helps to manage: • Heart disease

• Depression and anxiety

• High blood pressure

• Obesity

• Diabetes

• Osteoporosis

• Colon cancer

• Weakness or breathlessness

TIGER SHARKS SWIM TEAM PALATINE TIGER SHARKS SWIM TEAM Palatine Tiger Sharks Swim Team is a multi-ability-level program that offers competitive opportunities, technique development, and fun for swimmers ages 6 and older. The swim team is divided into progressive groups. Open tryouts are held twice a year (in March and August). If there is still space available, new swimmers may join the team at any time throughout the year by contacting the swim office at 847.202.3240 to schedule a tryout.

Team coaches make the final determination for group placement and advancement to the next level. Group sizes may be limited.

Following a tryout, coaches will be able to give families approximate practice times and locations. Practice times and locations are subject to pool availability and may change.

Registration is held during regular office hours at any Palatine Park District facility. All swim team registration requires a separate registration form. Non-residents are required to pay an additional fee. Families registering more than two swimmers will receive a $15 discount starting with the third swimmer.

Registration fee plus the Swim Team fee are payable to the Palatine Park District by cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, or Discover. A separate check for escrow costs, payable to Palatine Swim Team, is required, no cash.

Registration during Early Bird Registration guarantees a team t-shirt for each swimmer registered. After Early Bird Registration, a limited number of t-shirts will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Additional Swim Team Fees are the same for both residents and non-residents. Swim Team fees and escrow costs vary for each group.

Palatine Park District registration fees do not cover all Swim Team expenses so the additional swim team fees are necessary.

All fees are paid at registration.

Each member of the Tiger Sharks Swim Team must be a member of Illinois Swimming and United States Swimming.

• Escrow covers costs of USA/ISI Swimming (an annual cost, expiring December 31 of each year; the USA/ISI fee is nonrefundable) and of entering individual and relay events at swim meets. Any swimmer not registered with USA/ISI Swimming in the current year must pay an additional escrow fee of $68. Unused escrow is refundable at the end of the season.

• Families can offset the cost of future swim team fees by participating in the team’s ongoing fundraising opportunities.

• Swim Team parents for all groups except Pre-Comp are required to volunteer during each of their child’s sessions at all Swim Team hosted meets. Failure to volunteer for any home meet will result in a charge of $100 for each meet session.

ATHLETICS YOUTH PEE WEE FLAG FOOTBALL LEAGUE

IGLA GIRLS FALL LACROSSE LEAGUES

Learn football fundamentals without heavy contact. In Youth Flag Football, the focus is on teamwork in a positive and structured environment. Children will learn passing and other aspects of the game that will keep them active and help them develop skills such as hand-eye coordination. In addition, children will have an opportunity to develop leadership skills and build self-esteem as they improve their technique.

Be part of a youth lacrosse league exclusively for girls from Chicago, and the north, northwest, west, and south suburbs.

The emphasis of this program is to develop girls within the sport of lacrosse. The goals of the program are to understand the rules of lacrosse, active teamwork, sportsmanship, and foster personal development in a respectful environment led by positive coaching. IGLA is adopting the US Lacrosse "players first" athlete development model—which means smaller fields and a smaller number of players. Kids are more engaged, get more touches on the ball, and further develop their skills.

ATHLETICS BUDO AIKIJUTSU This class provides training in • Aikido (control and redirection of attack)

• Judo (sweeps and throws)

• Karate (blocks, kicks, and punches)

• Jujitsu (joint twisting and nerve centers)

Self-defense training covers a wide variety of unarmed and armed attack simulations with emphasis on controlling the attacker, self-defense options, and prevention and awareness pointers. Defenses are based upon the principles of physics which allow a smaller and weaker person to overcome a larger and stronger attacker. No special athletic ability required. One beginning session is required before enrolling in the advanced level. Credit for training in comparable martial arts is given with instructor’s consent.

INTRODUCTION TO HORSEMANSHIP

Join us for our first Fall Campout at the Palatine Stables. Your camping experience includes a campsite to pitch your tent, a pony trail ride, hot dog dinner, campfire, roasting marshmallows, making s’mores, and a movie. See page 25 for more details.

This class is required for all new students. It covers basic horsemanship skills including safety, grooming, tacking, and basic riding skills, thus building a foundation for our continuing riding program. Three lessons are non-riding. Students will learn to enter a horse's stall and lead the horse from its stall to the arena. They will also learn to tighten the girth and adjust their stirrups, techniques to properly mount a horse, the proper dismounting procedures, and returning the horse to its stall. As students become proficient with these skills actual riding time will increase accordingly. Students and parents should also be aware that due to the nature of the horse, behaviors such as spooking, biting, kicking, bucking, and playing will occur. Learning how to handle these situations as a rider is an integral part of horsemanship and will be addressed in lessons.

For additional information contact the Stables Front Desk at 847.359.0009 or email stables@palatineparks.org.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, Tim Rice, and Linda Woolverton Step into the enchanted world of Broadway's modern classic, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, an international sensation that has played to over 35 million people worldwide in 13 countries. Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature, the stage version includes all the wonderful songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice. The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity. This "tale as old as time" is filled with great spectacle and magic for the entire family.

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS

by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, and Charles B. Griffith Seymour Krelborn is a meek and dejected assistant at a floral shop who happens upon a strange plant, which he affectionately names “Audrey II” after his crush at the shop.

Little does he know that this strange and unusual plant will develop a soulful R&B voice, a potty mouth, and an unquenchable thirst for human blood. As Audrey II grows bigger and meaner, the carnivorous plant promises limitless fame and fortune to Seymour, as long as he continues providing a fresh supply of blood. Just when it’s too late, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s extra-terrestrial origins and true drive for world-domination.

RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS WAIVER By their very nature, many Park District programs involve body contact, substantial physical exertion, emotional stress, and/or use of equipment which represents a certain risk. It is recommended that you check with your physician prior to participating in Palatine Park District activities. Palatine Park District does not provide insurance protection for participants in Park District activities. Please read the following information carefully and be aware that in registering yourself or your minor child/ward for participation in the above program(s), you will be waiving and releasing all claims for injuries you or your child/ward might sustain arising out of the above program(s). I give my child permission to participate in this program, trip, or activity and hereby waive, release and forever discharge any and all claims against the Palatine Park District or its commissioners, employees, or volunteers for damages and/or injuries to the registrant, which may arise from participation in Palatine Park District programs. EMERGENCY TREATMENT: A minor may not be treated, even in an emergency, except when, in the opinion of the attending physician, a life is in the balance. Written consent is required for all treatment given in any hospital emergency room/center. Consent of a parent or legal guardian is necessary for unmarried minors, under 18, except in cases of extreme emergencies. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: As a parent and/ or legal guardian, I do herewith authorize the treatment by a qualified and licensed medical doctor of the above minor in the event of a medical emergency which, in the opinion of the attending physician may endanger his/her life, cause disfigurement, physical impairment or undue discomfort if delayed. This authority is granted only after a reasonable effort has been made to reach me. The release form is completed and signed of my own free will with the purpose of authorizing medical treatment under emergency circumstances in my absence. Please list specific medical allergies, medicines, or other conditions on a separate piece of paper to be attached to this form.

Release and Hold Harmless Statement on registration form must be signed. PARTICIPATION WILL BE DENIED if the signature of adult participant or parent/ guardian and date are not on this waiver.

My signature, or my guardian’s signature if I’m under 18, indicates that I HAVE READ AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE REFUND POLICY AND WAIVER and understand it is required to take part in Park District programs.
