Program Cancellations Due To WeatherNorthern Will County Special Recreation Association attempts to hold programs whenever possible. However, inclement weather occasionally makes it difficult for staff and participants to travel to program locations. Northern Will County Special Recreation Association cancellation policies are as follows:• Northern Will County Special Recreation Association staff look

at all circumstances three hours prior to the starting time of the program or transportation route, to determine if the program should be cancelled. If the program is cancelled, program staff will attempt to reach all participants by phone to inform them. You will only be called if the program is cancelled.

• Northern Will County Special Recreation Association attempts to extend programs to make up missed dates. Northern Will County Special Recreation Association will call/send an email announcing program extensions.

Contact PersonIf you have questions about a specific program, please feel

free to get in touch with the staff contact. The staff contact is listed at the end of each program description.

The staff contact in charge of each specific program has an office phone number, work email address and an after hours phone number. The after hours phone number can be utilized

when your child is attending a program that involves NWCSRA transportation. The voicemail of the after hours phone is checked

approximately 15 minutes prior to the start of a program.

To report an absence, contact the NWCSRA office between the hours of 9:00am-5:00pm, Monday through Friday.

Severe Weather GuidelinesIn the event of severe weather, cancelling programs may be in the best interest of our participants. The following guidelines will be used to determine cancellations:

Severe Cold Weather• Outdoor programs: Temperature of 0 degrees or less, including

wind chill.• Programs with transportation: Temperature of 0 degrees or less,

including wind chill.• All programs (including indoor): Snowstorm situations when

driving restrictions (winter storm or blizzard warning in which authorities have advised not going out unless necessary) and emergency accident plans (state and local police) are in effect.

Pick Up & Drop Off ConsiderationsPick ups and Drop offs may be late or early depending upon unforeseen reasons such as traffic or construction. Take this into consideration and provide the program supervisors with an accessible phone number where you can be reached if the return time should vary more than fifteen minutes.

Participant Illness GuidelinesTo prevent the spread of contagious illnesses, it is recommended that participants refrain from attending programs when any of the following conditions exist:• Fever of 100° or higher• Vomiting within the last 24 hours• Persistent diarrhea in conjunction with other symptoms• Contagious rash or a rash of unknown origin• Persistent cough and/or cold symptoms• “Pink eye” (conjunctivitis) or discharge from the eye• Symptoms of mumps, measles, chicken pox, strep throat, flu,

Impetigo, Coxsackie virus, head lice, mites and ringworm• Runny nose with yellow or green discharge, which indicates

infection• Fatigue, due to illness, that will hinder participation and

enjoyment of the programPlease notify the Northern Will County Special Recreation Association office if the participant contracts any contagious illness that will affect his/her attendance at the program. Participants should return to programs at the recommendation of their doctor, or, if not under a doctor’s care, when the symptoms have clearly passed.

Program Information

Behavior ExpectationsNorthern Will County Special Recreation Association encourages and promotes the concept of fun for everyone. However, certain rules and guidelines have been established to ensure the safety and enjoyment for everyone. Participants, staff, volunteers and parents/guardians are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times. Additional rules may be developed for particular programs andathletic leagues as deemed necessary by staff. Staff, participants, volunteers and parents/guardians shall:• Show respect to all participants, staff, volunteers and parents.• Abstain from using abusive or foul language.• Refrain from causing bodily harm to other participants, staff,

coaches, volunteers and parents/guardians.• Demonstrate respect to equipment, supplies, uniforms and

facilities.• Represent NWCSRA in a manner that is consistent with the

goals, objectives and ethics of the association.A caring, positive approach will be utilized regarding the use ofdisciplinary methods. Additional or individual behavior management plans may be developed on the advice of parents, guardians, staff members or other professionals. Northern Will County Special Recreation Association reserves the right to dismiss or suspend a participant if the above noted procedures are not adhered to and/or parent/guardian response to a problem situation is not attempted. Each situation will be evaluated individually and on its own merit.

(815) 407-1819

Inclusion ServicesNorthern Will County SRA understands that not every person with a disability needs to participate in special recreation programs. If you feel that a program offered by your park district/recreation department (Lockport, Village of Romeoville, Brookeridge or Justice) would better meet the needs of your child, teen or adult; follow these steps for inclusion:

1. Register at your local park district/recreation department for the desired program as soon as possible. Let them know you will be requesting inclusion assistance.

2. Through meeting(s), observations, etc., it will be determined if inclusion in the program would be appropriate and beneficial, and if an inclusion aide is needed.

Please understand that we will do our very best to provide an inclusion aide. However, because of staffing restrictions or due to notification dates, we are sometimes unable to guarantee an aide. Please register early so that there is plenty of time to secure the assistance that is needed.

Late Transportation Pick Up PolicyIn order to be fair to our participants and program leaders, NWCSRA has enacted a late pick-up policy and we would appreciate your cooperation in this matter. Many of our programs have more than one pick up location and if one person is late, it may disturb the schedule of others who are being picked up at another location. We request that you double-check the pick up time and be prompt.

We understand that circumstances do occur and we have built in a 10 minute grace period. If a parent/guardian is more than 10 minutes late the staff is obligated to leave the location to proceed to the next drop off location. It will be the responsibility of the parent/guardian to pick-up their child at the next drop off location or the NWCSRA office. Parents/Guardians should contact the cellular phone of the appropriate vehicle in which your child was riding to arrange for the pick-up.

Transportation ProceduresThe following procedures are to be followed to maintain safe transportation of Northern Will County Special Recreation Association staff and participants. The vehicle will not proceed until these procedures have been followed. All passengers must be seated with seat belts fastened upon entering the vehicle. Wheelchairs must be securely tied down and belted in vehicles. Northern Will County Special Recreation Association staff is responsible for determining whether or not an individual may be transported safely due to behavior or health concerns. Northern Will County Special Recreation Association does not provide door-to-door transportation, but does offer drop off and pick up at centralized locations for selected programs. These locations are as follows (unless noted otherwise):

Transportation Pick Up/Drop Off Locations:Lockport Central Square 222 East 9th Street, Lockport

Old Quarry Middle School 16100 W. 127th Street, Lemont

Parent/Guardian Observation GuidelineWith your child’s best interest in mind, we ask that you get prior approval from Northern Will County Special Recreation Association staff before you visit or observe a program. Our staff always welcome your questions, feedback and input, but need to concentrate on the needs of the participants during program times. In addition, we have found that most individuals respond best to staff direction when parents are not present at programs. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

Early Arrival PolicyWe ask that you arrive no earlier than the scheduled time for programs and trips. Northern Will County Special Recreation Association is not responsible for participants arriving prior to the scheduled program time.
