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 under the "District Information" tab.

Smoking or any use of a tobacco product, including electronic cigarettes, 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. See Section 2.36, Code of Conduct, which can be found on palatineparks.org.

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 under the "District Information" tab.

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 in other promotional materials and are for Park District use only.

“Facilities” include all structures on Palatine 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.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Palatine Park District: A History of Growth

If you look through this Palatine Park District program guide you’ll discover that the district is truly one of the “jewels” of the Northwest Suburbs. The variety of programs, classes, activities and cultural events may astound you! The mission of Palatine Park District has always been, and still is, to provide a variety of safe, enjoyable, and affordable parks, programs, and recreational facilities. The Board of Commissioners, the Executive Director, and all of the staff members are committed to enhancing the quality of life of our residents while being fiscally responsible. Since being formed over 70 years ago the park district has grown from a population of 3,000 to our current size of over 83,000 and has spread from one acre of land in 1945 to over 730 acres of land now. We hope that our residents appreciate and utilize the wide variety of facilities and activities that we offer. Three outdoor swimming pools, a golf course, a riding stable, the Palatine Historical Society’s Clayson House Museum, miles of hiking and walking trails, dozens of playgrounds, and so much more are all available. Programs and classes are offered for every age and almost every interest. Some of the newer activities include pickleball, which is one of the fastest growing physical activities for adults, and the use of the new indoor pool at Harper College. A major milestone was reached on September 10, 2018, when a ribbon-cutting event was held at William Rainey Harper College for the updated and improved Building M (board members and staff at event pictured below). The new Health and Recreation Center offers an indoor pool, an expanded fitness center, and a Northwest Community Healthcare Clinic. All residents of the Harper College district will be able to register for the classes and the programs, including indoor aquatics, fitness activities, dance classes, and sports programs that will be offered by the Palatine Park District. We hope everyone has an opportunity to visit this new facility. If you are looking for an affordable place to hold an event you might want to consider renting one of the many indoor facilities that the park district offers. Palatine Hills Golf Course’s Clubhouse is a beautiful place to hold a party or meeting. Falcon Park offers banquet rooms with space for everything from birthday parties to

wedding showers and receptions plus it has indoor turf and gym space available for rent. Birchwood Recreation Center, Cutting Hall, Community Center, and Palatine Stables also offer a variety of types of spaces and amenities for almost any special occasion. You’ll find reasonable pricing and helpful staff to make your occasion special indeed. Please call our main phone number or the specific facility’s phone number to schedule your event. If you haven’t visited the Clayson House Museum lately please make a point of going there soon. There are special exhibits and events going on throughout the year and volunteer docents are there to guide you. Searching for Palatine archives or your family’s genealogy? Stop in to the museum on Tuesdays, Thursdays or Sundays. The collections of photos, yearbooks, old phone books and maps are very impressive! If the Smithsonian Institute is “America’s Attic,” then the Clayson House Museum is Palatine’s. The Board of Commissioner’s goal is to promote the district’s values through integrity, communication, accountability, collaboration and leadership. Our meetings are open to the public and are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at 7:00 pm at the Palatine Village Hall. We welcome your input and comments. Please enjoy your parks! Sue Gould, President

Critical thinking is the foundation of education and life skills development. This is an important executive function to foster in children to help them make decisions independently with confidence. Being able to identify a problem and evaluate when something is right or wrong is one of the best gifts you can offer your child. Through highly motivating dramatizations and games like: toothpaste turtle, CEO Corner Office, cotton candy catastrophe, and the case of the balloon bouquet robber, children will learn how to problem solve using many methods. While critical thinking skills may take many years to develop, this will be a transformational kick-off. This class offers boosting selfesteem, confident communication, and group dynamic skills. All levels of critical thinkers are welcome. Age: 7-13 Location: Community Room 2A Min/Max: 6/15 Instructor: Lisa Lombardi

ATHLETICS IGLA GIRLS SPRING LACROSSE LEAGUES

PENGUINS LACROSSE HOUSE LEAGUE

Be part of a youth lacrosse league exclusively for girls. 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 has adopted the US Lacrosse “players first” athletic development model which means smaller fields and a smaller number of players.

This spring, Penguins Lacrosse is introducing a 3 on 3 youth lacrosse house league. Players will participate in a fun, noncompetitive, non- contact developmental lacrosse program where they will learn the fastest game on 2 feet. Players will receive a reversible Penguins Lacrosse pinny as well as a beginner lacrosse stick called a fiddlestick. There will be 1 practice and 1 game per week using soft lacrosse balls. Players will be required to wear helmets and gloves. Rental equipment will be available, or you may bring your own.

In the spring, IGLA offers two levels of league play: Pink and Purple. Both are recreational, community lacrosse. If considering Purple, players must first attend an assessment where participants are assessed on stick skills and game play. Players will be notified of assessment dates, times, and locations by IGLA coaches. Pink Practices are on Wednesdays. 8U and 10U weekday practices are 60 minutes from 5:30pm–6:30pm. 12U and 14U weekday practices are 75 minutes from 5:30pm–6:45pm. Purple Practices are on Monday and Wednesday. 8U and 10U weekday practices are 60 minutes from 5:30pm–6:30pm. 12U and 14U weekday practices are 75 minutes from 5:30pm–6:45pm. League Play: 8U players practice for 30 minutes, play for 30 minutes. 10U–14U players practice for 30 minutes, play for 45 minutes. See the tables below for days and time frames. League Uniform: IGLA pinny is required and may be purchased during registration at iglax.org. Required Equipment: Stick, hard ball, goggles, and mouth guard.

PENGUINS BOYS YOUTH LACROSSE The Penguins are a travel lacrosse team for 1st–8th grade boys. All levels of players are invited to learn the game of lacrosse and compete with towns throughout the Illinois Boys Lacrosse Association (IBLA). The program provides structured training and development from beginners to experienced players. The surrounding towns of Arlington Heights, Rolling Meadows, and others provide great depth to the program. Practices are two to three days a week depending on the team and level. A combine is run in early spring to determine the player's skills sets and set the teams. Teams will have 15–20 players so register early to avoid placement on a waiting list.

Pickleball combines tennis, badminton, and ping pong for a fun game. Pickleball is played by two or four people on a badminton court with a net set at 34 inches at the center. It is played with composite paddles and a ball similar to a wiffle ball. The game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fastpaced, competitive game for experienced players.

SECTION | SUBSECTION 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. 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. Unused escrow is refundable at the end of the season by contacting the swim board (escrow). • 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. • Refunds follow Palatine Park District policy (page 105).

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.

The winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, told by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater through what Entertainment Weekly called, "the most gorgeous Broadway score this decade," Spring Awakening explores the journey from adolescence to adulthood with a poignancy and passion that is illuminating and unforgettable. The landmark musical is an electrifying fusion of morality, sexuality, and rock and roll that is exhilarating audiences across the nation like no other musical in years. Spring Awakening was the focus throughout this past television season’s series Rise, as it showed the universality of strife of daily life in today’s youth, as well as across the ages. This production contains intense adult themes and strong language. Not recommended for children 16 years and younger.

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.

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.
