The relay service works by connecting calls between a speech or hearing
impaired person using a text telephone, or TTY, and a hearing person using
a regular telephone. The person using the TTY types his or her conversation
and the message relayed to the other party by a communications assistant
(CA). The CA then relays the hearing person’s exact words by typing them
back to the TTY user.

quite an honor to be selected and a
tremendous accomplishment to
achieve a gold medal at these events.
Frank won his gold by finishing first
in his division in the 100 yard Freestyle

GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP
WSSRA encourages parents and families to
attend games and tournaments and cheer the
teens/young adults on! We expect coaches,
players and parents to demonstrate good
sportsmanship during these events. This includes
respect and support of coaching staff and
officials who are working on behalf of your
player. Any person not demonstrating good
sportsmanship including behavior outbursts
towards a player or coaching staff and/or
officials, that is deemed threatening, will not be
tolerated. You may be asked to leave and your
future participation and attendance at events will
be in jeopardy. By registering your son/daughter/
dependent for these programs you are agreeing
to follow these guidelines as written. Please refer
any concerns or questions to the Superintendent
of Recreation. We look forward to a safe and
successful season.
REVISED
LATE PICK-UP/DROP-OFF POLICY
In order to be fair to our participants, program
staff and drivers, WSSRA has enacted a Late
Pick-up/Drop-off Policy. Many of our program staff
and drivers need to get to a program immediately
after the program your child is in. We ask that
you make sure you are on time picking up your
child from program, as well as home to greet
your child when the WSSRA van drops them off.
A $10.00 fee will be charged for every 15 minutes
or portion thereof, a participant is picked up late,
or a van is delayed, after a 10 minute grace period.
A notice will be sent to you indicating the fee
being charged to your account.
Also, participants must be dropped off on time
for programs that are traveling, including over
night trips. Vans will not wait more than 5 minutes
for participants who are late for the program.
Saturday morning programs - Parents
must drop off their child by 9:30 AM or call the
emergency phone. If the program is traveling, the
van will not wait longer than 5 minutes past the
program start time.

WAIVER OF LIABILITY
The national liability crisis the past few years has been severe for agencies
like WSSRA. Our insurance premiums used to be $800 a year and now
exceed $17,000 a year. To help keep the price of insurance low and to
better manage our risks, we have joined a self-insurance pool with other
special recreation associations and park districts.
Our pool is known as the Park District Risk Management Agency (PDRMA).
As a loss prevention measure, PDRMA is requiring participants to execute
a release of liability for programs. The reverse side of the registration
forms contains the WSSRA waiver release form. This must be signed and
returned to the WSSRA office before participants can be in programs.
Since we do not carry medical or accident insurance for program
participants, the release of liability is necessary. The cost of such coverage
would make our program fees too high for most to afford. Please review
your personal health plan to be certain that you and your family have
coverage in instances like these.
Our objective is to offer a high quality program at a reasonable cost. The
use of a release of liability when appropriate is but one way we are trying
to meet that objective. If you have any questions, call Sandra Gbur at
847.455.2100. We appreciate your continued involvement and support.
Complete the enclosed registration form with correct program selection,
day, program fee, transportation and payment option.
Contact your local park district or village for use of their fax
machine to fax your registration.
All signed registration forms received by September 13, 2010 will
be processed by the WSSRA Registrar and approved for program
and transportation information.
All registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first served basis
until we reach our maximum enrollment for each program.
Mail-in or walk-in registrations received AFTER 5:00 PM
September 13, 2010 may result in a late program start and
transportation may not be available.
If a program closes, you will be put on a waiting list and contacted if
openings are available.
Recreation Specialists MAY NOT accept program payment or
registration forms at programs. This must be done by mail or at the
office only.
Anyone registering MUST have a working phone number.
A participant cannot register for the next season until balance
from previous season is paid.
