GUIDELINES & EXPECATIONS NASR-Belvidere Park District promotes and encourages the concept of fun for everyone. However, certain rules have been established to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all people involved. The following guidelines have been established to make sure NASR-Belvidere’s programs are safe and enjoyable for everyone. NASR-Belvidere’s participants are expected to demonstrate appropriate behavior during all programs. The district’s basic behavior guidelines and expectations insist that participants shall:


* Show respect to each other and staff * Abstain from using foul or abusive language * Refrain from inflicting bodily harm to any individual * Demonstrate respect to equipment and facilities * Have control of bowel and bladder (diapers are acceptable; as a means of controlling accidents) * Follow directions given by NASR-Belvidere staff


A caring, positive approach will be utilized regarding the use of any disciplinary methods. Additional or individual behavior management plans may be developed on the advice of parents, guardians, NASR-Belvidere Park District staff, or other professionals. NASR-Belvidere Park District reserves the right to dismiss a participant if the above noted guidelines and expectations 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.


Additional rules may be developed for particular programs and athletic leagues as deemed necessary by NASR-Belvidere Park District staff.


MEDICATION DISPENSING Necessary medications may be administered to a participant at the program upon written permission from parent/ guardian. To ensure proper dispensing of medications, we have specific rules that everyone must follow:


* All medications must be in their original container, with the participant’s full name. * A medication release form must be filled out and signed in order for staff to dispense medication to your participant. * ONLY NASR-Belvidere full time and lead staff will administer medication. * Any changes to dosage/medication, must be revised on a new Medication Dispensing form.


Non-prescription medication may be administered upon written parental/guardian permission. Such medication shall be administered according to medication package instructions and shall be labeled with the participant’s name and date. Any differences in medication procedures from parent instructions and packaged instructions will not be given without a doctor’s note. Aspirin and related products may not be used to control temperature at programs and only as a pain reliever.
