Good Morning Everyone,

For the Trades Fair Weds 3/1, you are approved to bring 70 students the additional student count above 35 was given by Amber and her leadership. Read this full email please and don't forget students rosters, they are required period.
You will have an Alltown bus (arrival 9:15) and WindStar charter arrival 9am (it says double decker bus fyi), I will attend this day with you. You all decide who goes on what bus but keep classes together please so we don't have issues checking in etc. May not have the same driver or bus each way so don't leave anything on the bus and no book bags if possible. 
For Friday 3/3 Demo day (no Keshaun) if you wish to have Eduardo drive his truck and load it up to leave earlier than the bus go for it( would probably be smart because buses have been late). Save your parking receipt, we will submit for reimbursement. M&M limo should arrive at 9:15am to take at least 2 teachers and only 20 students. You will have a different driver and bus each way for this trip so do not leave anything on the bus and no book bags if possible. Batey has said he will join this day or meet you there. I will also provide signage for tables and give to Tom Thursday for your booths. If there isn't room then don't use them.

During the event students may be photographed and/or interviewed by media and will have the opportunity to share basic contact information with employers. Make sure this is known. 

 

STUDENT CHECK-IN / WELCOME DESK

 

●      Schools that issue CPS ID cards to students: To gain entrance into the exhibit hall, student CPS IDs will be scanned by CPS staff. Please note, if your school issues student ID cards, students will be required to have them at the event for security and registration purposes. Additionally, we ask that you bring a student roster that includes student names and CPS ID # (as noted in Aspen). This will be collected at check-in.

 

●      Schools that do not issue CPS ID cards to students: Each student will be asked to provide their CPS ID number, name and school so that we may check them off the event registration list. To help get students into the exhibit hall as quickly as possible, we ask that you bring a student roster that includes student names and CPS ID # (as noted in Aspen). This will be collected at check-n.
