If you need to change or cancel your visit, contact the Mobile Educator ASAP at 570-372-4780. Dates fill up fast and rescheduling becomes more difficult the longer you wait. Please be courteous and let the ME know if you wish to cancel a visit or equipment drop. Another teacher may want the date if you don't.
Why We Need Specific Information
- We need at least 45 minutes to set up a lab; we need to know what time we can get in the building and get started.
- We need to know exactly what equipment to bring, especially if it is a loan.
- We need to know how many periods and how many students so we bring along enough supplies.
- We need to know how many students are in each grade level for our data we send to the state.
Keep in Mind…
- Until we have a PROPERLY COMPLETED FORM, your date is NOT reserved. If you do not want to lose your date, get the form in quickly!
- The earlier, the better. Schedules fill up fast, if you have something specific in mind; get your reservation in as soon as possible.
- If a mobile educator is not available on a date you would like, keep in mind that you can use the equipment as a loan as well!
- You can borrow equipment for a maximum of two weeks.
