MISSION STATEMENT

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: Jim Holder, 148 W. Illinois Avenue, 847.705.5131, jholder@palatineparks.org or Colleen Palmer, 250 E. Wood Street, 847.496.6232, cpalmer@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.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Zero to Seventy-Five inâ&#x20AC;ŚSeventy-Five Years! Not fast but very steady: the residents of Palatine Park District are all celebrating turning 75 years old in 2020. Your District was created in 1945 following a successful referendum drive put together by a group of visionary community members. In 1945, World War II was just coming to an end and our little town of 3,000 residents voted to make our community a better place. The referendum resulted in a new and independent government/taxpayer supported entity responsible for developing and organizing new parks and recreational opportunities for the Palatine area. There were no real parks in town so the first five elected commissioners had a momumental job in front of them. It took two years to acquire our first park, which was appropriately named Community Park. In 1947, our first five recreation programs were offered (which means our first program catalog probably fit on one-half page). Our first Executive Director wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hired until 1949. Much has happened since our humble start. Most notably, our first pool was opened in 1955. Palatine Hills Golf Course, five major parks, and our second pool were developed from 1966-1969. Birchwood Recreation Center (and Pool), Palatine Trail, and nine other parks were developed from 1972-1974. Fast forward to this, our 75th year, and we now have 45 parks, nine major park facilities, and a very extensive Palatine Trail. Our resources and facilities are greatly expanded through joint cooperative agreements with all of our other local governments including the schools, village, township, water reclamation district reservoir system, and the Palatine Public Library.

The park district continues to be guided by our five elected commissioners. Since 1945, we have had only seven Executive Directors and 36 elected volunteer commissioners. Our staff has grown from the one first director in 1947 to over 79 dedicated full time professionals and over 1,100 part time employees. We now offer over 1,900 programs, as presented in four seasonal 100-page program catalogs. Our park district is the 8th largest in the state and serves over 83,000 residents of Palatine and surrounding areas. From the start, volunteerism has been and always will be the backbone of our park district. Thousands and thousands of volunteers have originated, developed, and continue to operate some of our biggest programs. Without volunteers we would have many empty parks and facilities. We have recognized 77 of our most influential volunteers thus far through induction to our Volunteer Honor Roll. Inductees can be found on the plaque on the second floor of Community Center. Thank you to all of our volunteers; past, present, and future! While we celebrate our past 75 years, the staff, commissioners, volunteers and all of our residents need to plan for and anticipate the recreation needs of our next generations. Foresight started Palatine Park District and foresight will determine our future. All of us on the Palatine Park District Board of Commissioners congratulate all of you on our 75th Birthday. Our greatest wish as we blow out the candles on a very bright birthday cake is that all of you take time for fun by using our parks and joining our programs! Jay Cozza, President

Preserve the Past, Honor the Present, Embrace the Future On September 21, 1945, Cook County Clerk Edmund K. Jarecki signed a decree codifying the official formation of Palatine Park District. In the ensuing 75 years, the vision of Palatine Park District took shape thanks to the dedication and teamwork between Park Commissioners and District staff. Through multiple agency partnerships, Palatine Park District has been able to acquire over 500 acres of land which today includes forty-five parks, nine industry leading recreation facilities, and three aquatic centers. Additionally, Palatine Park District staff have provided thousands of programs and served generations of residents and visitors. Palatine Park District is excited to share its 75th Anniversary with you, our Palatine residents! Be on the look-out for a variety of celebratory special events, raffles, highlights and giveaways throughout the year. The celebration will culminate with a 75th Anniversary Picnic in the Park on Saturday, September 26, 2020! All anniversary information and highlights will be coming soon in the "75 Events" publication. Additional anniversary specials will include a 75th Anniversary Calendar, traveling Historical Showcase, pop-up promotions, and much more!

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 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 nonresidents. 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 non-refundable) 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 (pages 96-97).

The final collaboration between Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein II, The Sound of Music, has become a play beloved around the world. Based on the true story of the Von Trapp Family Singers, this play captures a personal tale of growth and hope amidst the horrors of World War II. The Sound of Music tells the tale of young postulant Maria Rainer, whose free spirit has trouble fitting into the rules and regulations of Nonnberg Abbey. Commissioned by the Mother Abbess to serve as the governess for seven motherless children, Maria transforms the Von Trapp family home from a place of dour rules and regulations to one filled with joy, with laughter, and with music. In the process, Maria wins the hearts of all seven children--and their widower father, Captain Von Trapp. With the Mother Abbess’ blessing, and to the children’s delight, Maria follows her heart, and Maria and the Captain marry. Upon returning home from their honeymoon, Maria and the Captain learn that their beloved Austria has been taken over by the Nazis, and the retired Captain is asked to report for immediate service in the Nazi Navy. When the Nazis show up at their door to take Captain Von Trapp away, it is a family singing engagement (wily navigated by their friend Max) that buys the family time to make their narrow escape. Their Austrian convictions compel Maria, the Captain, and the children to flee over the mountains of Switzerland to safety, taking the words of the Mother Abbess to heart: “Climb Every Mountain… till you find your dream.”

INTRODUCTION TO HORSEMANSHIP

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. There may still be openings for Fall Session II classes, however registration after the start date will be taken in-person at Palatine Stables only. Age: 7-15 years Min/Max: 3/6 Day Date Time FALL SESSION II 420001-04 W 11/20-1/15* 5:30pm-6:30pm 420001-05 Th 11/21-1/16** 5:00pm-6:00pm *Makeup 1/14 **No class 11/22; makeup 1/17

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).

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.
