REGISTRATION INFORMATION 1. RESIDENT REGISTRATION ONLY

9. FEE CODE

2. NON-RESIDENT REGISTRATION

10. PROOF OF RESIDENCY

Walk-in resident registration will take place on Saturday,April 23 from 8:00 am-6:00 pm at the Recreation Center, 536 East Avenue, and continues thereafter during regular office hours. Residents can only register their own family during resident registration on April 23. Countryside residents may also register beginning April 23.

Individuals residing outside of the Park District boundaries may register starting at 8:00 a.m. Friday, April 29. This includes Neighborhood Network residents.

3. ONLINE REGISTRATION

The fee code used in this brochure is as follows: (R) Residents of La Grange & Countryside (NR) Non-Resident (NN) Neighborhood Network Proof of La Grange or Countryside residency is required to qualify for resident rates for program registrations, usage passes and facility rentals.

A driver’s license, state ID or utility bill is acceptable. This policy assures the lowest fees for La Grange residents.

The Park District of La Grange offers online registration. Come in to the Recreation Center to complete an online registration form to receive the required user name and password for online access. Online registration runs simultaneously to walk-in registration; neither procedure has priority over the other. Online registration is available 24/7 once registration begins for the season. A non-refundable $2 administration fee applies to online registration transactions. Register online at www.pdlg.org. Please be sure to view/print your receipt to verify that your online transaction processed correctly.

11. NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORK (NN)

4. FIRST COME FIRST SERVED

If the graphic symbol appears next to a program title it is a co-op and resident rate applies for all agencies indicated. All participating agencies must achieve minimum enrollment for a class to be held.

Co-op codes: LP-La Grange Park, WS-Western Springs,

All programs have a minimum and maximum enrollment and will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

5. PROGRAM WAITING LISTS

Maximum enrollments for programs ensure quality and safety for you and your children. In the past, we made every effort to accommodate as many residents as possible without negatively impacting the programs. This has led to disappointment and frustration for all involved due to problems in timing (those on the waiting lists would find another way to spend their time), and the difficulty related to finding qualified instructors in a short period of time.

For this program season, waiting lists will be unlimited. This list will be taken to allow for dropouts and cancellations prior to the start of a program.

Our deadline for requesting refunds is 5 days before the start of class. This change helps eliminate last minute decisions regarding program and waiting list status.

6. FALSE INFORMATION/RESIDENT PRIORITY

Persons failing to indicate Non-Resident status, or registering Non-Residents as Park District Residents will be dropped from the program without refund.

7. REFUNDS AND CANCELLATION

Refunds will not be issued after the first class date and must be requested no less than 5 days before the first class meeting. A prorated refund will be issued in cases when the Park District receives a written certificate from a physician that a medical condition exists that prohibits participation. The medical note must be received no later than 14 days after the session end date. A prorated refund may also be issued if the registrant moves outside of the District boundaries. A $5 service charge will be deducted from all refunds over $5, except when a medical certificate is presented in writing, or the District cancels a program. If the Park District cancels a program, participants will have a choice of full refund, credit or class transfer, if available.

8. INSUFFICIENT FUNDS FEE:

In the event that a program is paid for by check, and that check is returned to the District stamped N.S.F., full payment as well as a $20.00 penalty will be required in cash or cashiers check before attendance in a class can continue.

WHY ARE THERE INITIALS NEXT TO THE PROGRAMS? (LG-Laura Gallagher, DF-Diana Faught, KM-Kevin Miller, TS-Teresa Skrzynski)

They represent the staff member responsible for that program. This will help you connect with the right person to answer your questions.

4

All communities that border La Grange which include Western Springs, La Grange Park, Brookfield, La Grange Highlands, and McCook will be charged only 10% more than resident rate for all programs. Proof of residency is required.

For all co-op programs, non-residents from the co-op district will get the resident rate.

12. CO-OP PROGRAMMING

13. SENIOR DISCOUNT

Seniors age 55+ receive a 10% discount for most PDLG programs for adults.

14. PROOF OF AGE

The Park District of La Grange reserves the right to require proof of age for participants age 3 and under.

15. PAYMENT/ENROLLMENT VERIFICATION

When in doubt, call the Park District office at (708) 352-1762.

16. ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION

You will be assessed a $5 registration fee when signing up for programs.

This fee is charged only once per household per season for registrations of $20 and over. If after your initial registration you decide to enroll in more programs during the same program season, simply alert us to that fact when you register. The assessment fee does not apply to online registrations. Collecting this fee allows the Park District to meets its costs without raising fees for every program.

17. PAYMENT METHODS

Payment methods accepted are: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, cash and check.

Driver’s license required for checks.

18. REGISTER EARLY!

Classes subject to cancellation if they do not meet minimum enrollments a week before class starts, unless otherwise noted.

19. FEES SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE 20. ADA ACCOMODATIONS

A request for ADA accommodations or assistance at a program is required at the time of registration. This includes, but is not limited to, inclusion aides, sign language interpreters, adaptive equipment, and accessible transportation. Early registration, along with a request for accommodation, is strongly suggested in order that appropriate accommodations are secured to the start of the program.

Program Philosophy

Learning Ladders is a recreation program that has been designed to meet the physical, social, intellectual, and creative needs of children ages 2 1/2 to 5. It is based on the premise that children learn through play. Play serves as a “child’s work”, a time when new discoveries and friendships are made. Through play, children learn to communicate with words, express feelings, explore, create, problem solve, make decisions, and much, much more.

In addition to creative free play there will be a balance of teacher directed group activities as well. Introduction and exposure to letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and other beginning concepts occurs. Our teaching staff creates and implements lesson plans based on the Illinois Early Learning Standards.

Beginner Pickleball for Seniors (KM)

Have you been looking for an activity that is relaxing, rewarding and fun? Then, come join the archery craze! Archery can be practiced by virtually anyone regardless of age, gender, skill, ability or experience.

In this class for mature adults, instructors will teach the correct way to shoot a bow and arrow as well as emphasize safety and the techniques of archery through practice shooting and exciting games.

Archery helps to challenge the mind, build upper body strength, enhance hand-eye coordination, get exercise through walking, and improve self confidence. Don’t miss an opportunity to learn more about this unique sport! All equipment will be provided; however, you may use your own equipment with instructor approval.

Join the pickleball craze! Pickleball, a game that combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping pong, is sweeping the country.

Pickleball players use wooden paddles and whiffle balls to play on a badminton-sized court with a slightly modified tennis net. This low-impact sport is easier on the knees and shoulders than tennis as it does not involve as much running or arm strength. Pickleball is a recreational game that is designed to encourage an active lifestyle.

We are offering two levels of beginner classes for interested seniors who want to play this easy-to-learn game. This class is for those who have never played pickleball before or who have very limited experience with the sport. It will focus on pickleball basics such as forehand and backhand shots, serving, and court positioning.

Players will also learn scoring and the rules of the game through drills and playing time. The slower pace of this class will give players the opportunity to develop the skills needed to play this fun and energetic game. All equipment will be provided.

GENERAL INFORMATION LATE PICK-UP POLICY The Park District of La Grange staff will supervise children who are left beyond the scheduled time until a parent or other authorized adult on the pick-up list arrives. However, late pickups will result in a fee. Payment of the late fee is to be paid at the Recreation Center located at 536 East Avenue BEFORE your child can attend the next day of camp/class. If you have any questions, please call Laura Gallagher at 352-1762.

1-15 minutes late = $5.00 Every minute after that = $1.00

Important Information

The Park District of La Grange is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible and holds the safety of participants in the highest regard. Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize, however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities.

The Park District of La Grange continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been designed to protect the participant’s safety.

Please recognize that the Park District of La Grange does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs.

The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive; therefore, each person registering themselves or a family member for a recreation program/activity should review their own medical insurance policy for coverage. It must also be noted that the absence of medical insurance coverage does not make the Park District of La Grange automatically responsible for the payment of medical expenses.

5. No smoking within any Park District buildings.

6. No golfing in the parks. Youth Golf Program participants are exempt from this rule during scheduled golf lessons.

7. Parks are open from sunrise to sunset unless otherwise posted.

Exceptions apply to lighted areas (i.e. courts, fields, etc.)

Program Code of Conduct

To ensure enjoyable and safe programs for all participants, the Park District of La Grange has developed a behavior code. Participants shall: • Show respect to all participants and staff.

• Refrain from using foul language.

• Refrain from causing bodily harm.

• Show respect to equipment, supplies, and facilities.

Additional rules are developed for specific programs as deemed necessary by staff.

Program Financial Assistance

The Financial Assistance Policy of the Park District of La Grange is established to provide a fair and equitable system through which District residents may take part in recreation programs when they are unable to pay the required fees.

Partial program fee waivers may be granted for Park District of La Grange residents for certain programs. Any family who would like to see if they are eligible for a scholarship may obtain an application from the Park District of La Grange Administration Office at 536 East Avenue, La Grange, IL 60525.

CO-OP Programming

If the graphic symbol appears next to a program title, it is a CO-OP, and resident rates apply for all agencies indicated. All participating agencies must achieve minimum enrollment for a class to be held.

The Park District of La Grange requires that all program participants or legal guardians sign a Liability Waiver and Release form at the time of registration. This form must be signed prior to participation in any Park District program. Your cooperation and understanding is greatly appreciated.

There are three reasons why park districts and recreation departments typically offer programs in cooperation with another agency. Reason #1 is because individually each agency does not have the population base to support a program. Reason #2 is that one of the agencies does not have the facility to offer a program. Reason #3 is that both agencies can increase the variety of programs offered to their residents.

Your tree can be purchased anytime during the year starting at $325, depending on species. Trees are planted the following spring by an outside contractor.

Standard tree sizes range from 2 to 2 1⁄2” diameter and 5 to 10’ in height.

Your tree will be maintained by the Park District. This includes watering, mulching and pruning.

5X7 bronze plaques are available for the additional price of $300.

Park staff will help you select a planting site as well as tree species.

Contact Claudia Galla at 352-1762 to begin the process.
