At the Symposium

Accommodations & Meals

All participants will stay on or near the University Campus (location TBD). Meals will be provided by the IJSHS beginning with dinner on Wednesday, March 7 and ending with breakfast Saturday, March 10.

Student Housing Accommodations:
Four students of the same gender may be assigned to each room. Each room has two queen size beds.

Teacher/Chaperone/Guest Accommodations:
Two teachers/Chaperones of the same gender will be assigned to share a room. Each room has two queen size beds. Teachers/Chaperones desiring a private room should indicate on the registration form, and depending on availability of rooms, we will attempt to accommodate these requests. Please note there is an additional charge of $100 for a private room. These arrangements must be made before the symposium begins.

Guests who will be attending any or all of the IJSHS functions will be required to pay $200 ($100 for room plus $100 for participation).  This must be arranged and paid for before arrival.

Travel

Travel expenses to and from the IJSHS must be paid by the individual delegate or sponsoring school. Please note: student participants may not drive during the IJSHS due to insurance liability. Parking is available for teachers who plan to drive. While at the symposium, participants will be provided transportation for all scheduled activities.

Dress

Comfortable shoes and casual clothes are recommended for most of the daytime activities. Everyone is encouraged to wear appropriate professional attire for the presentations and the awards banquet will be semi-formal (no jeans or t-shirts).

Insurance

All student and teacher participants are provided with health and accident insurance while traveling to, from, and during the symposium.

Mandatory Attendance

All symposium participants (students, parents and teachers) are required to remain for the entire symposium, and to attend all meetings, and activities, unless prior arrangements have been made.

For participants with a long distance to travel, we will allow for early departures, but attendees must notify the IJSHS office a week prior to symposium if they will be departing before the final Awards Banquet on Friday night.

Parents and Guests are welcome to attend the awards banquet on Friday March 8, 2012; however, they must inform the IJSHS office at least one week in advance and will need to pay $35 each for the meal in advance.
