BEHAVIOR Appropriate social behavior is encouraged in all programs. The TR Staff will do their best to ensure each participant s success. If, in the opinion of the TR staff, a participant s behavior becomes detrimental to the group or to themselves, a parent/legal guardian will be contacted to pick up the participant immediately. Please note. While the Parks and Recreation Department makes every effort to ensure that all information provided regarding our programs and facilities is listed as accurately as possible, please understand that we reserve the right to make necessary changes to the benefit of our patrons and the operation of our department.
MEDICATION/PERSONAL CARE TR staff cannot administer medication, with exception to those needed in life threatening situations (ex. Epipen for tree nut/peanut allergy, medication needed to stop a seizure). For PALS Programs, if a participant is independent and needs medication, the participant must be able to administer their own medication. For programs offering total personal care (Respite, Camp Will), only a nurse can administer medications. If a nurse is not present, TR staff cannot administer medication in their absence. Due to staff to participant ratio for some programs, a caregiver is required to stay with those participants needing support and personal care. Participant criteria are listed with each program description. DROP OFF/PICK UP FOR PROGRAMS When arriving at a program, parents/legal guardians are required to sign the participant in and leave a phone number where they can be reached...even if the participant has a cell phone! If a participant is to be picked up by someone other than the parent/legal guardian/caregiver, please notify TR staff at the beginning of the program. Parents/legal guardians/caregivers are required to pick up their participant. Due to staff to participant ratio, TR staff cannot walk participants out to the parking lot.
