Dec 16, 2013: Please e-mail or bring the completed roster form with you to the event on February 22. You can find a copy of the roster form on the state web site.
Dec 16, 2013: We are already working hard to prepare for this event, as I am sure you are also. Right now, we need for you to send us a list of the events in which you plan to compete. This is very important because we will use it to plan the event schedule and room locations. Although I know this is a busy time of year for you, please try to e-mail that list to us by January 14, 2014. This does not commit you or restrict you to these events, but we need to have a tentative idea of your plans. Also, if you know now that you will have any students with physical disabilities, please advise us now before we begin scheduling rooms for the events. Please note that we may not offer all (or any) of the trial events, depending upon the availability of personnel and rooms, since these are not required events. This will be decided as we develop the final schedule and you will be advised of our decision. The rules for the trial events may be found on the national web site.
Dec 16, 2013: When you come, please plan to park in Student Lot #6 (near Buildings “CG and CB"). This lot can be accessed from Memorial Drive (there is a sign, but it may be easily overlooked) or Lots #4 and 5 near building CF (off of Memorial College Drive).
Dec 16, 2013: Right now, we are planning on scheduling events (including registration) in buildings "N", "C", "D", G (Gym), and the JCLRC (Jim Cherry Learning Resource Center). Building "N" is the Student Center and that is where students will probably want to gather when they are not involved in events. The awards ceremony will most likely be in the Auditorium of the JCLRC (the library). It is a fairly small campus with covered walkways, so we hope that you will be able to navigate the campus easily.
