Release & Behavior Expectations (required for participation)

Please read and agree to the release below.

I give my children listed above permission to attend all programming sponsored by Skokie Valley Agudath Jacob Synagogue and Kol Sasson Congregation for the 5785/2024 High Holy Days. While I understand that the Skokie Valley & Kol Sasson Youth Department strives to maintain a safe environment for its participants, I also understand that there are inherent risks in some of the activities with which my child may be involved. Accordingly, I, on behalf of myself and my minor child, agree that the Skokie Valley & Kol Sasson shall not be legally responsible for my child’s personal health, or any injury of any kind. I hereby release the Skokie Valley & Kol Sasson, its partnering agencies, volunteer locations and the staff of any of these organizations from any liability to me, any member of my family, or my property arising from or in connection with Skokie Valley & Kol Sasson youth programs or activities. In the event of an emergency, I give permission to Skokie Valley & Kol Sasson to facilitate proper medical care as it deems reasonably necessary while efforts are made to reach me. In the event there is a claim against Skokie Valley & Kol Sasson as a result of any conduct of my child, I agree to indemnify and hold Skokie Valley & Kol Sasson harmless from such claim even if such claim is alleged to arise in whole or in part from the negligence of Skokie Valley & Kol Sasson or any of its agents, staff, or employees.

 

Please read and agree to the behavior expectations below after having discussed them with your child(ren).

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are the holiest days of the Jewish year, and contain opportunities for great spiritual moments and learning experiences. Respectful behavior is  essential for every participant of Skokie Valley & Kol Sasson High Holiday Youth programs. 

Specifically, every participant of youth programs is expected to:

1. Respect their body and the bodies of others.

2. Respect the feelings and emotions of others, both children and adults.

3. Respect the property rights of others, including property that belongs to Skokie Valley and Kol Sasson.

4. Respect the requests and directions of staff members and adults.

5. Respect the sanctity of the day by not using cell phones or similar devices during services or in the classrooms or hallways, with the expectation of phone usage for medical needs. 

If a child is having an emotionally difficult time during groups, they will be brought to their parents to help calm down. They are welcome to return to groups if they and their parents decide they are ready to rejoin.  

Any participant who is physically, emotionally or verbally abusive to other children or staff, or is exceptionally disruptive or disrespectful, will be asked to leave the classroom and will be escorted to join their parent during services for the rest of the day. 

I have discussed these expectations with my child(ren) and I understand that if my child is asked to leave due to abusive or exceptionally disrespectful behavior, they will need to remain with a parent for the remainder of the day.
