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.
