With fall around the corner and the kids still out of school, the Family Aquatic Center is the place to be on these hot summer days! Visit<br />
the aquatic center for a cool dip as well as some delicious food from Bo-Bo’s Poolside. Beginning August 17 through Labor Day, the<br />
Family Aquatic Center will only be open on weekends from 12-5 pm due to high school and college age lifeguards and deck staff returning<br />
to the classroom in mid-August.<br />
Celebrate the end of summer at our 9 th Annual Little Bear Ribfest in Century Park! On August 16 and 17, the park will be filled with blues<br />
musicians, rib vendors and beverages! Tickets are available at the gate and all proceeds benefit the District’s Family Scholarship Fund.<br />
Our final Movie in the Park this summer will be on August 23 at dusk at the north end of Deerpath Park, next to the playground. The<br />
featured film is Monsters, Inc. Families can play together at our 12 th Annual Worldwide Day of Play event on September 14. This event<br />
features outdoor recreational games for every age. On September 27, families will compete against each other at Trivia Night. Mark your<br />

Vernon Hills Park District is recognized as<br />
an Illinois Distinguished Accredited Agency<br />
2018-2023 by the Illinois Association of<br />
Park Districts and the Illinois Park and<br />
Recreation Association. The two statewide<br />
associations administer the Illinois<br />
Distinguished Accreditation program with<br />
the goal of improving the delivery of park<br />
and recreation services to Illinois residents.<br />
It is a voluntary, comprehensive evaluation<br />
process to demonstrate that agencies<br />

Enhancing Value<br />
Park District programs and services are funded largely through user fees, while property tax revenue primarily funds operational and<br />
maintenance costs of park amenities and facilities. The District’s tax rate for the fiscal year <strong>2019</strong> was .416 per $100 of assessed value,<br />
compared to .419 in the previous year. The Park District represents 5% of the total property tax bill for Vernon Hills residents.<br />
Excellence in Financial Reporting<br />
For the 24 th consecutive year, the District received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the<br />
Government Finance Officer’s Association (GFOA) for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). This is the highest form of<br />
recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting.<br />
At the conclusion of each fiscal year, a financial audit and Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) are completed. The audit is a<br />
mandated financial report compiled by a professional auditor. The goal of a CAFR is to clearly communicate the Park District’s financial<br />
story. To achieve this award, the District’s CAFR has to demonstrate a constructive “spirit of full disclosure”, clearly communicate its<br />
financial story, and motivate potential users to read the CAFR. The District’s CAFR and budget can be found on the District’s website.<br />

taxes on all taxable property within the District through the preparation of a<br />
tax levy ordinance. The Equalized Assessed Value (EAV) of your property will<br />
determine the amount of property taxes you will pay to the Park District. In<br />
2018, only 5% of your total tax bill will go to the Park District.<br />

Grosse Pointe Park Retaining Wall<br />
During a heavy rain storm in 2018, the retaining wall at the south end of the ballfields<br />
collapsed, resulting in the path being closed. During the winter of <strong>2019</strong>, the District developed<br />
a plan to eliminate the need for the retaining wall but still create a walking path connecting<br />
the neighborhood with the park. The plan placed the path closer to the outfield fence line in<br />
order to maintain a proper slope down the side of the berm leading to the pond. In the near<br />
future, the District will incorporate this procedure to eliminate more failing retaining walls<br />
around this walking path.<br />
From vibrant gardens to peaceful trails, habitats for wildlife, active recreational facilities, and a backdrop for nature lovers, our 24 District<br />
parks are in excellent condition. Our Park Maintenance teams consists of 10 full time staff plus 8 part-time and seasonal employees.<br />

New Solar Panels to be Installed at Parks<br />
Maintenance Facility<br />
Park News<br />
9<br />
Solar panels are coming soon to the Parks Maintenance Facility to offset electrical costs.<br />
Vernon Hills Park District is working with Trane/Ingersoll Rand to apply for grant funding<br />
through the Illinois Shine <strong>Program</strong> that is administered by the Illinois Power Agency<br />
(an independent state government agency) for solar development on the District's Park<br />
Maintenance Facility rooftop.<br />
The solar panels will save the District roughly $5,000 per year in electrical costs and cut<br />
down approximately 70% use off of the electrical grid. The Illinois Shine <strong>Program</strong> assists<br />
municipal agencies to install solar systems to harness the free power from the sun. The<br />
south facing roof is desirable for solar power technology.<br />
The Park District has a PPA (Purchase Power Agreement) with Trane/Ingersoll Rand for the<br />
solar power production. This means the Park District does not own the solar panels or<br />
the electricity provided by the solar panels. Instead of paying upfront costs for the solar<br />
panel, the Park District is leasing the space on the flat roof to Trane/Ingersoll Rand and<br />
purchasing the solar power produced. The rate at which the District is purchasing the<br />
solar power is far less than what would be charged by the current electric provider.<br />
MaxGalaxy<br />
Emails are sent to a participant group based on<br />
programs that are offered through the District’s<br />
registration software, MaxGalaxy. Participants are<br />
selected by gender, age, and previous program<br />
registration at the Park District.<br />
Park Pointers<br />
A monthly newsletter is distributed to students in<br />
grades K-5 who attend the Hawthorn Elementary<br />
Schools. The newsletter contains program and special<br />

Park Kiosks<br />
Four kiosks are located in Century Park that contain<br />
posters promoting programs and special events. Two<br />
new kiosks were added to Deerpath Park in <strong>Fall</strong>, 2018.<br />

GO VERNON HILLS, presented by Vernon Hills Park District, is a<br />
community walking movement designed to promote community<br />
values of health and wellness through activities, education, and<br />
community collaboration. Vernon Hills Park District has partnered<br />
with the Lake County Health Department on its county wide<br />
initiative to improve the health of Lake County residents. Walking<br />
is a gentle, low-impact exercise that is easy, free, and accessible<br />
to everyone.<br />
There are many benefi ts to walking 30 minutes every day.<br />
Walking can help to prevent and reduce the risk of chronic<br />
diseases, premature death, and supports positive mental health.<br />
In addition to wanting your presence at GO VERNON HILLS<br />
events, step up and become a champion for this movement!<br />
Being a champion is very easy. Spread the word to others about<br />
joining the movement and become a walk leader. Our goal is<br />
to have a champion attend every GO VERNON HILLS walk and<br />
possibly lead walks in your neighborhood. Please contact Cheryl<br />
Buhmann at cherylb@vhparkdistrict.org to become a champion!<br />

Swim Lessons<br />
#vhparks<br />
The goal of the Park District’s swim program is to<br />
create a life-long interest in aquatics activities,<br />
promote a healthy lifestyle, and improve a child’s<br />
safety in the water. Lessons follow the American Red<br />
Cross Learn-to-Swim guidelines. Taught by instructors<br />
who are certified lifeguards, our lessons feature<br />
progressive swimming instruction and practice of<br />
water safety skills. Upon successful completion of<br />
each level, swimmers will receive an American Red<br />
Cross certificate.<br />

Select the Right Class<br />
Before Class<br />
Review the skill lists on vhparkdistrict.org. Choose the first class that lists a skill<br />
that your child has not yet mastered.<br />
First Day of Class<br />
Children’s skills will be assessed on the first day of class to ensure that they are<br />
placed in the proper level. Adjustments will be made if necessary. Swimming<br />
requires motor coordination and practice to become proficient.<br />
Keep in Mind<br />
It is not uncommon to spend more than one session in a particular level. This<br />
is especially true with levels 2, 3 and 4. Therefore, do not expect your child to<br />
automatically advance to the next level at the end of a session.<br />
Questions<br />
If you are unsure about your child’s abilities or have questions about the<br />
different courses or swim class policies, contact Robert Wood, Aquatic Supervisor<br />
at (847) 996-3488.<br />
Parent/Tot Lessons (6 Months-4 Years)<br />
You and your child will be exposed to water adjustment activities and<br />
experience supported movements in a fun and enjoyable manner. This program<br />
is designed to let children have fun in the water through games and activities<br />
while developing swimming readiness. Only one child per adult will be allowed.<br />
If more than one child is enrolled, a second adult must be present.<br />

<strong>2019</strong>-2020 School Year<br />
It is our goal to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment where each child is recognized and appreciated. Our<br />
belief is that children learn best through creative play and exploration. We want to help you build upon your child’s love<br />
of learning.<br />
Our program will prepare your child for their kindergarten experience through developmentally appropriate activities.<br />
Our highly experienced staff will assist your children in developing a sense of independence and confidence as they<br />
develop social relationships with other children. Daily instruction is provided to foster your child’s literary, cognitive, and<br />
fine and gross motor skills.<br />
We offer the best value for your money! A new, secure, beautiful facility opened in January, 2017, with highly-qualified<br />
staff dedicated to teaching our young students! Our large classrooms are equipped with child-sized bathrooms and all<br />
new classroom furnishings. We have an expanded outdoor playground too! Consider our school-year preschool programs<br />
for 2-5 year olds for a consistent, developmentally appropriate educational program.<br />
In addition, we offer both before and after supplemental preschool programs to complement your child’s learning<br />
experience all year round.<br />
Registration<br />
• Pre-registration is offered to returning students, prior<br />
to open registration.<br />
• New students must provide a copy of the child’s birth<br />
certificate or other proof of the child’s birth date must<br />
be submitted.<br />
<strong>2019</strong>/2020 Payment Schedule<br />
A $100 non-refundable/non-transferable deposit is due at<br />
the time of registration. The balance will be charged in<br />

December. Credit/Debit card authorization is required for<br />
the installment charges. No refunds will be given after<br />

FAQs<br />
Do preschoolers need to be potty trained?<br />
Children in 2 Year Old Preschool do not need to be potty<br />
trained, however instructors are not responsible for<br />
changing diapers. Children in 3 and 4 Year Old Preschool<br />
must be potty trained.<br />
What is your discipline policy?<br />
We use a brief time-out in the classroom. Our goal in using<br />
this technique is to remove a child from the situation long<br />
enough to allow him/her to regain control of him/herself.<br />
Positive redirection is another core discipline procedure.<br />
Appropriate boundaries and rules for behavior are<br />
established early in the school year.<br />

The Illinois Girls Lacrosse Association is adopting the US Lacrosse “Players first” Athlete<br />
Development Model: The Right Lacrosse at the Right Time. Providing every athlete the<br />
opportunity to enter, enjoy and excel by learning and playing lacrosse in a way that’s<br />
best for each stage of growth and development. This creates a model of participation<br />
that provides opportunity for all, for life. Rationale for Small-Sided Competition: Smaller<br />
players, smaller fields. That’s the name of the game if we want to keep kids engaged,<br />
developing their skills and getting more touches on the ball. We’ll see better skill<br />
development, more enjoyment and increased retention rates by letting the kids play the<br />
right way.<br />

Team Formation<br />
All teams are formed by a coach’s draft. Players<br />
are measured for height and evaluated at the<br />
Skill Evaluation Day. This information is provided<br />
to coaches to select teams. Because of the draft<br />
process, no coach or teammate requests will be<br />
considered. The only way to guarantee that two kids<br />
are placed on the same team is if their parents sign<br />
up to coach together. Players are required to attend<br />
skill day. Those that do not attend skill day will not be<br />
eligible for the coaches draft. They will be randomly<br />
assigned to a team.<br />
Practice<br />
Teams practice 1-2 hours per week at various schools.<br />
Practice times can be as early as 6:00 pm and go<br />
as late as 9:00 pm (8:30 pm for 3rd & 4th grade<br />
teams). Practice schedules are dictated by coaches;<br />
therefore, specific practice schedule requests cannot<br />
be honored. (If there is ONE specific day of the week<br />
that your child will not be available to practice, please<br />
note on registration).<br />
All players will receive a team jersey and<br />
participation medal.<br />

our registration deadline but before practices/games begin. Players are encouraged<br />
to register for the Park District league and attend Skill Evaluation day. If you make the<br />
feeder team, and decide not to play both feeder and Park District, as long as a refund is<br />
requested prior to our team selection, you will receive a refund of the full league fee. Do<br />
not wait until after the feeder team has been selected or you will be subject to the late<br />
registration fee.<br />

New! Argentine Tango (18+ Years)<br />
Argentine Tango, the cultural phenomenon of Buenos Aires, is more than just a dance.<br />

turn of the 20 th Century. It is an improvisational social dance which allows the dancers<br />
to develop a deep connection within the couple, to the music, and the environment in<br />
which they are dancing. To feel comfortable on a dance floor, leaders and followers have<br />
to learn not only specific steps, but also the body language needed to execute them. The<br />
dance is absolutely beautiful, romantic, and social.<br />

start of the program and a full refund is issued.<br />

Local groups are encouraged to invite our staff to your meetings to speak about<br />
Park District happenings. Contact Cheryl Buhmann at (847) 996-6933 or cherylb@<br />
vhparkdistrict.org.<br />
Americans With Disabilities<br />
The Vernon Hills Park District will comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA),<br />
which prohibits discrimination in the provision of programs, services, or activities to<br />
individuals with disabilities. We invite any participant with a special need to contact our<br />
staff or our SRA staff, upon registration, so that a smooth inclusion can occur. If you have<br />
any questions regarding the Park District’s ADA policy, or believe you have been unfairly<br />
discriminated against in the provision of programs, services, or activities of the Vernon<br />
Hills Park District, please contact the District ADA Compliance Officer, Tom Ritter by mail<br />
at 635 N. Aspen Drive, Vernon Hills, IL 60061 or by telephone at 847-996-6802. For<br />

Resident/Non-Resident (NR) Fees<br />
Vernon Hills residents significantly contribute to the operating budget of the Park District<br />
by paying property taxes. Everyone who resides within the boundaries of the Park<br />
District are eligible to receive resident discounted rates. Once per year, each Vernon<br />
Hills household is required to show proof of residency in order to qualify for resident<br />
rates. Families living within Hawthorn School District #73 are also eligible to receive<br />
resident discounted rates for programs, Lakeview Fitness memberships, and Lakeview<br />
Fitness daily passes. The only exceptions are facility rentals and daily admission to the<br />
Family Aquatic Center. In addition, District 73 residents must wait until the non-resident<br />
registration dates to register for programs. Non-resident fees are the second fees shown<br />
in program descriptions. These rates are not discounted and are necessary in order to<br />
ensure that non-resident participants contribute to the overall financing of the park<br />
system on an equitable basis with residents.<br />
Senior Citizen Discount<br />
Senior discounts are available for individual passes and membership to our Fitness<br />
Center for residents aged 62 & older. For all other programs and the Family Aquatic<br />
Center, a 20% discount will be applied.<br />
Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) Policy<br />
A $25 service charge will be assessed on all checks returned due to non-sufficient funds.<br />
Food Allergy Policy<br />
The Park District will attempt to accommodate each program participant who has a<br />
food allergy in order to provide the safest learning environment possible. A Food Allergy<br />
Action Plan will be created by the District staff and parents and will identify operational<br />
practices for parents, teachers, and children to follow. For a copy of the Food Allergy<br />
Policy, contact Tom Ritter, Superintendent of Recreation, at (847) 996-6802.<br />
No Smoking Policy<br />
In addition to the Smoke Free Illinois Act, the entire Park District which includes all<br />
facilities, buildings, parks, streets, paths, open space and all waters, is designated as<br />
tobacco free.<br />

Vandalism<br />

maintenance, repair and clean up of park areas can be avoided only with your help.<br />
Should you see vandalism occurring, please call the Vernon Hills Police at (847) 362-4449.<br />
Discipline<br />
A positive approach is used regarding discipline. Staff periodically reviews rules with<br />
participants during programs. If inappropriate or unacceptable behavior occurs, prompt<br />
resolution will be sought and the District Behavior Management Policy (2.39) will be used<br />
as a guideline. The Park District reserves the right to remove a participant whose actions<br />
endanger the safety of himself or others.<br />
