Week of Feb. 9

Week of Feb. 9

This is our last full week of build season!   Make sure you have completed the number of hours needed for your desired level of participation and travel.  Build season officially ends a week from today on Tuesday, Feb. 18.

Travel documents have been submitted to Mr. Stalker.  If you have outstanding forms, you are not on the travel list.  I will be sending one more update to him on Friday.  If your forms are not in by then, you will not be attending competitions with us on school days.

Parents and mentors driving students:  I need your forms please.  We cannot get final approval for our trip until all of our chaperone forms are turned in.

As soon as I have all of the driver information turned in, I will be sending home ONE MORE form which must be signed and returned quickly.  Ideally, we will have these ready to hand out on Thursday.  If you can sign when you pick up, it will help us out greatly.  This is a huge deal with the change in procedures this year.

You can check if you have any outstanding forms HERE. Please get any missing forms to the center tonight. An "X" means that form is turned in.  A blacked out square means this is not a form you need to submit.  If you have questions, please see me tonight.

Here is what this week looks like:
Mon - Thurs.:  Homework time 5 - 6 PM, practice 6 - 9 PM.

Friday:  Pit Crew Practice 7 - 11 PM (probably later as students are able to stay)

Saturday:

• PICTURES:  Order forms can be printed from home, or picked up at the center.  Team picture at 11:00.  We hope to have everyone there for pictures, including mentors! :) 
• Pizza Lunch - Bring a few dollars for pizza
• UNVEILING:  2:00 - 4:00 Public event!  We hope to see all of you there 
• Dinner Break:  TBD

• Lock - In - we will discuss on Thursday but we are looking at moving this to a weekend down the road.  

Sunday:  If the robot is ready, it will be used as a drive practice day.  Pit Crew should attend as able.  We anticipate being there 1-5, but this may be extended if we need more time.

Monday (President's Day) 2/17: It is possible that we may hold some practice for drive team and Chairman's presentation team during the day.  More info to come.  Regular practice will be 5-6 study, 6-11 practice. If time is needed, we may stay late so we are ready to lock up on Tuesday.  It depends on how the robot is going. More will be posted next weekend.

Tuesday (Lock Up Day)2/18:  Lock up time is midnight, and we will stay this late if need be.  Only those on drive team, or lead pit crew will stay that late, and only as parents permit.  Regular practice will be 5-6 for homework, and 6 - ? for practice.
