REMINDERS We ask that you make sure the kids do NOT bring any toys from home.

We don’t want anything to go missing or break while at Kids’ Zone.

Everybody should have a pair of gym shoes available while at Kids’

Zone. If they do not have the right footwear they will not be allowed to participate for safety concerns.

GENERAL KIDS’ ZONE REMINDERS All participants should treat each other, staff and equipment

with respect. We provide all participants with 30 minutes of homework time.

Homework time is quiet time. To ensure everyone’s safety, participants need to wear athletic

shoes everyday to fully participate. Please make sure your child is dressing appropriately for the

weather. We will enjoy the outdoors as much as possible! Label your children’s coats and other belongings. Be sure to

check our lost and found daily! Remember you must sign your child in and out each day. This is

very important. Also please understand for the safety of your child we will ID anyone picking up your child that we do not recognize. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Please remember if your child is going to be absent to call the site to let us know. Our phone is only on during program operating hours but feel free to call anytime. Please leave a message with the date and your child's name if calling them in for the day.

Electronic devices and toys should stay home. The Park District will not be responsible for them.

HAVE FUN!
