Late Policy
Running late? Parents/guardians/group home staff should adhere to scheduled pick up and drop off times.
Parents/guardians must
provide supervision until the scheduled start time as stated in the brochure. Staff are not available to provide supervision prior to the start of programs due to preparations for program. Please be on time picking up your child as staff may have other work responsibilities following the program. The staff appreciates your cooperation in this matter.
Late fees
When parents/guardians/group home staff are late picking up their child, a fee of $1.00 per minute will be charged.
The Child Passenger Protection Act of the Illinois Vehicle Code requires that children under the age of 8 be transported in an approved Child Safety Seat in certain vehicles. Parent/Guardian will be notifi ed if there is a need to provide a Child Safety Seat for your child. Children under 8 years of age will not be transported if the parent/guardian does not provide a Child Safety Seat. For further information, please contact Barb Bassett at 847/392-2848, ext. 241.
If transportation presents a problem, please contact NWSRA and a staff will try to help parents pool their transportation resources.
Class Size
Depending upon the activity, most programs have a minimum or maximum size. Programs may be cancelled or postponed if adequate registration is not met.
When children of
various ability and age levels are enrolled in the same program, NWSRA will group them according to age and ability.
Staff Ratios in Programs NWSRA programs are staffed according to the needs and abilities of participants as well as the nature of a particular program. Most programs have one staff to approximately four participants. Closer staff to participant ratios are typically for those individuals or groups which have more
involved needs/behavior issues.
These ratios
are arranged through manager or superintendent approval. Refer to the program description for specifi c information.
Parent/Guardian Visitation Week NWSRA invites parents/guardians to observe their child's participation in activities during the last week of programs each session. If you desire additional observation, please discuss with the program leader or contact NWSRA.
Who is the Program Leader? NWSRA attempts to secure and place leaders at each program as soon as adequate registration is received. To fi nd out the program leader's name, or other information, please call one week before the program starts.
