Hi,

Do you have students interested in InfoTech? It really sounds like a great day. A bus will hold about 40 students and if we can get at least 30 registered prior to 3/21, I will be able to provide a bus for transportation. I’ll be talking to my CBC students again today and see if any are ready to register.

We like to make things complicated, in addition to registering online, we need a print permission form for each student to give permission for photo/video release. Plus each student will need to select a Geek tee shirt and get me the size and color for the shirt. (check here for a description for the type of Geeks http://infotec.org/reveal-your-inner-geek/) You can either write the color/Geek type and size on the permission form or email that to me and I’ll keep track of how many to order.
In addition, we’ll need a permission form that allows the students to ride the bus. The form I typically use includes areas for all teachers to sign saying that it is OK for the student to miss class that day. We can get one form for the kids, but I do need the release of liability for AIM if they are to ride the bus.

Since the registration is due by March 29 and we are on spring break that week, we need to set out registration deadline to March 21. (I’m not in the building on Fridays, however, if you have a student who registers on 3/22, we can make arrangements for me to pick up the forms at the end of the day.)

I will be delighted to come into any classes and talk about this wonderful opportunity if you’d like, just let me know.

(As an aside, encourage the girls to register, it seems that so far only one girl has registered.)

Here are the directions for registration:

Directions for Registration

1. Go to www.infotec.org/youth-2013
2. Click on the purple Youth @ Infotec REGISTRATION button.
3. Print off a permission form for each student you've invited to the event. This is the event permission and photo/video release form that we are required to collect as event sponsors. I've also attached the form.
4. Collect the signed permission forms and return to me by March 29. These may be sent by postal mail or scanned/emailed using my contact information below.
5. As educators, please also register yourselves by clicking on the red REGISTER TODAY button in the sidebar. By choosing High School Faculty (this includes administrators and district staff as well) from the drop-down menu under Registration Type, you will be given complimentary admission.

As stated, the event will begin at 8:30 AM. Please make transportation arrangements to arrive with enough time to get signed in and pick up name tags and other conference materials prior to the start of the event. Continental breakfast items will be available at this time as well. The conference will end by 2:00 PM, and schools who need to depart in order to catch after-school buses may leave. If you have extra time, you and your students are invited to walk through the Exhibitors hall and check out the booths.

Please contact me if you have any questions! We look forward to seeing you there!
