FOREIGN LANGUAGE DAY 2005 REGISTRATION, CONFIRMATION AND ARRIVAL
HOW TO REGISTER (all forms may be duplicated)

1.    Fill out the top half of registration form Reg-1 (yellow),  indicating school, teacher, language, number of students attending.  Compute the amount due Central Michigan University and enclose payment with other registration materials.

2.    Indicate on the bottom half of REGISTRATION FORM (Reg-1) whether your students are entering any talent competitions.
**If NO, your registration is complete.  Consult ARRIVAL directions and maps for routes busses should take when coming to campus on April 15.
**If YES, indicate whether you are including/have already sent in the talent competition time slot reservation request form (Forms Reg-3a/b).

 Then fill out appropriate parts of Forms Reg-2a/2b ("Types of Competition").  Consult "Criteria For Judging Foreign Language Day Competitions" in planning your entries.  Judges' ballots reflect these criteria (in general, weighted equally).

3.    If requesting times for talent competitions, fill out Forms Reg-3a/b.  If you are sure of having an entry, send in this form in advance of the registration proper.  Requests will be prioritized beginning March 10.

CONFIRMATION:  Upon close of registration on March 31, those who requested specific times for talent competitions will receive notice of the time(s) scheduled for them.  In addition, all schools will be sent a copy of the program for April 15, to include the rooms for talent competitions, as well as a map of the university center.  Please make as many copies of this map as you wish for your students' use. 

ARRIVAL

1.     BE SURE TO HAVE EACH STUDENT BRING HER/HIS PARENTAL CONSENT (HEALTH) FORM.  If you wish, have them bring along photocopies of the enclosed campus map(s) as well as the Bovee University Center map to be sent with the confirmation letter.

2.    Consult the enlarged map of the north half of the CMU campus for planning your final approach.  Busses will be parking in Lot 8, which has two entrances.  If you go there directly (recommended if not forced to carry heavy/fragile items), proceed then to the University Center and send one chaperone to the lower level to pick up programs, and to sign in for competitions in which you do not have a reservation/which cannot be reserved.  Greeters will be in Lot 8 to show you the route.

If you are bringing large amounts of equipment for displays or a multitude of props and costumes, have the bus go first to the "circle drive" in front of the University Center to unload.  The driver can then proceed alone to Lot 8, while you sign up for competitions, etc., at the University Center.

3.    Please have posters and displays set up by 10:15.
Note:  by May 2 competition winners will be posted on the foreign language day web site:  http://www.chsbs.cmich.edu/fllc/flday/default.htm  The 2004 winners are currently there.  These registration materials are also available from the website.
