Take a look at the lesson plans for the upcoming weeks.
These will be printed and provided for you on Sunday morning,
along with any supplies that you will need.
ELEMENTARY LEADERS
You will find that there are more activities than we plan to use. If you see a mark next to an activity, that is the activity we provided supplies. We left the additional activities in for you to tweak and do if you run out of activities.
LEADER RESOURCES
Park's Child Safety Policy
Every leader is required to read through Park's Child Safety Policy once per year. Need to read through it? Click on this link to view it and don't forget to sign off with your Coordinator when you've completed it.
Annual Child Safety Training
It is required that all staff and volunteers working with kids at Park complete an annual online Child Safety training through the State of Illinois. Each year we will ask volunteers to go through the training and turn in a certificate of completion. You will get instructions on how to do this, but we do ask that you complete it in a timely manner. If you have any questions, please reach out to Lysa.
