GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!!
Please remember that this is not a family vacation. Your team manager is in charge of your daily itinerary between Wednesday evening and Saturday evening. If parents wish to do something differently with their child, they need to speak to the team manager first to ensure that it works for the team. This includes any camps and field trips.
Also, Destination ImagiNation expects all students to stay up-to-date on their homework. Schools should not be giving students extensions on their deadlines. Students are expected to take homework to globals, if necessary. Team managers can schedule homework into the itinerary. A great time to get some work done is on the flight to and from Knoxville.
For those of you who are going, these are things you can be doing right now, to get ready:
- book your airline tickets
- book your airport shuttles
- book the Wednesday morning camp, if you want to attend. Please wait until the schedule is released before you book any others.
- If you want to go the Friday Night Family camp, let your school coordinator know and he/she can buy tickets in groups of 10.
- book a field trip for Wednesday, if you want to go on one. Please wait until the schedule is released before you book any others.
- purchase trading pins from Karen Shepherd. Just send an email to dialberta@shaw.ca
- fundraise, if necessary
- get ahead on your long term school projects so that you can finish early instead of taking homework to Knoxville
- finally, you can tweak your presentation, do lots of instant challenges and then Rehearse, Rehearse, Rehearse
About 1 week before globals, you will get your schedule and find out which residence we are staying in. Everyone in Alberta will stay in the same building.
