Parents are asked not to attend their child’s
class unless invited by the instructor. Our instructors
welcome the opportunity to discuss concerns with parents before or after class,
time permitting.
We have found that parent and/or siblings distract from the quality of
instruction.
It is of equal
importance that children have quality leisure time with their peers.
Thank you
for your cooperation.
Children whose parents fail to pick them up by the
specified time will be taken to the
office until parents arrive. If a child is not picked up within 10 minutes, the
park
district will contact the child’s emergency phone number. If the park district
cannot
reach anyone, the child will be held until closing time or for a maximum
time of
two hours, whichever comes first. There will be a $5.00 late fee assessed for
every 10 minutes you are late picking up your child (ren) after class. All fees
must be paid in cash before your child can continue in the class or register
for any future classes. If no one on the contact list can be contacted at
closing
time of the building, or by the maximum time limit of two hours, the police will
be contacted and your child will be taken into protective custody until a
parent or guardian can be notified. Once under police jurisdiction, the park
district is not responsible for any legal ramifications. If you are late and
the
building is closed, and you are unable to reach park district staff:
Contact the people on your
emergency form to verify whether or not any of them
have your child.
Call the police if you cannot locate your child. (598-1313)
More than two late pick-ups
may result in your child being dropped
from the program. No refund will be
given.
