Hopefully you've been checking your emails but if not here are some new updates.
1) The District Competition Field Trip is on Wednesday, January 9th at UMASS Lowell. Buses leave WA at around 7:30 am and will be expected back around 4 pm. If you have something else to attend that afternoon, you can be proactive and arrange a parent pickup at UML or arrange a parent carpool among teammates for when you’re done competing. Be prepared. Begin talking with coaches and parents now about your schedule for that day. 2) Online Testing dates are Monday 12/10, Tuesday 12/11 and Wednesday 12/12. Mr. Rogers will be scheduling students in this week and a schedule will be sent out shortly. Please let him know ASAP if you have a conflict on any of these dates so he can schedule accordingly. The exam starts at 2:00pm sharp, is 100 multiple-choice questions, and the average time takes 45-60 minutes with a maximum of 90 minutes. You are not allowed to bring anything in with you & phones must be shut off during exam. 3) Mock Role-Plays: New this year to WA DECA, we will be offering mock role-plays to help prepare you for the real deal in January. Sign up with this link by 11/23. Sign up before spots fills up! Enjoy your day off and keep practicing NEO questions!!

Note: Disqualification will result if one of the rules above is not followed as listed. Only current DECA members can enter the contest. DECA’s Leadership Team will be picking the sole winner at random. DECA Advisors will be supervising the contest process. Hi Everyone.
Total chaos in 201 each day after school. But . . . most of you have selected your event, and a lot of you have already turned in your checks and picked up your official WADECA T-shirts. Great job by YOU! Special shout-out to John Swanson, who came and bailed me out a couple of afternoons. Thank you, John. If you don't have an event chosen yet, DO IT NEXT WEEK! Without an event you can't prepare for competition and everyone now has an edge on you. We have 390 members already signed up, two weeks left! See Mr. Rogers in room 201 to sign up or change your event! Mentoring: Do you want a competitive edge? Do you want to go to ANAHEIM? Mentoring is for you! Fill out the "Ask Abby" form and we will get you paired up with an officer to help you! CONTEST: The WADECA Leadership Team is locked away in private meetings all weekend to come up with a contest for the current club members. Stay tuned to our Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, as well as our DECA site:wadeca.weebly.com for more details on how you can win an awesome prize. By the way, this is Morgan, and this "Updates" tab to keep everyone updated on weekly email information. More and more pictures of our handsome & gorgeous members (you know who you are) will be appearing soon from past competitions and events. Training Classes: Next 2 weeks on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, we will be meeting and learning about Schoology and NEO, so that you can start training for your event. Each class will be the same, in order to accomodate your busy schedules. You need to get to 1 of these classes or you won't have much of a chance in competition. Classes after that will be actual role play practicing, then you can start coming to as many as you want. Summary: pick your event a.s.a.p., keep the checks coming, pick up your t-shirts, come to a training class, and pay attention to our social media. Good evening everyone. Training Classes:
FINAL NOTES: You must have an event selected by the end of this upcoming week, so you can begin preparing for competition. When you have picked one, let me know (by email or in person), so I can input it and make you official. NEO is live!!! Nihar has been working relentlessly to get this operative for all 358 of you. You need to have an event selected in order to use it. Everyone must "Register" to set up their account (even if you used it last year). Use the email that you used on the Online Signup form or you won't get on. Once you "submit" you'll receive an email "Registration Confirmation". Verify by clicking the confirmation link. Then you are all set to start using NEO!!! SENIORS: Scholarship opportunities available. See email or Mr. Rogers for more information. Fill out the "Ask Abby" form for getting connected with a DECA mentor, the sooner you get ahead, the better off you are. Have an awesome long weekend! Are you one of the 300+ members who've signed up so far? This is the beginning of what I hope will be a great experience for each of you. If you have any questions about anything during this school year, please don't hesitate to email or stop by to see Mr. Rogers and Mr. Gagne. You can also message any leader or officer you to help you along.
Most important thing to do next week:
2 weeks until t-shirts arrive!!! Membership deadline is October 28, but the online membership is over! You must see Mr. Rogers in room 201 to sign up manually or to change your event or partner. DO NOT re sign up if there is going to be a change in your competition details. We do not want duplicate signups. Thank you! Stay tuned for important updates. |
