IMPORTANT:

Please remind your students that this is not a day off school. This is a professional field trip at a place of business. They need to be respectful of all speakers and will have time to converse with friends or use their cell phone during lunch.
 
Teachers must accompany students (1 teacher per 20 students required). Schools must provide own transportation. All participating schools will be notified upon receipt of registration and payment.  

DRESS CODE - IMPORTANT
Everyone should dress as if attending a job interview. It is the teacher's responsibility to share with the students prior to the event how to dress and on the day of the event make certain they do not bring students who are dressed inappropriately.
                Girls - dress, skirt or nice slacks & blouse (NO revealing clothing!)
                Boys - slacks & nice shirt
                Comfortable walking shoes for both
 
SPECIAL NOTE: Individuals wearing blue jeans, shorts, t-shirts, cutoffs, baseball caps, torn clothing, revealing clothing, etc., will NOT be allowed to attend the program. The teacher of any student not allowed to attend will be required to spend the day with their student and, therefore, also miss the program.
