Car pooling for Friday.

[Doug]

Psionics,  

Breakfast on Saturday is included as part of the room cost.  Lunch Friday and Saturday is included in the $115 participation fee.  Students will need to bring money to cover dinners Friday and Saturday evenings.

Students should also be aware that they are representing Westlake.  Bad behavior reflects poorly on the entire program.  Incidental charging is not included with the rooms or permitted.

Again, here are the details for the trip and most importantly how to pay.

When: Friday Feb. 24 to Saturday Feb. 25th

Students will travel in private cars Friday morning, so students will miss a day of school.  Parents should contact me regarding car pooling.  We need every student assigned.

Where: 
Veterans Memorial High School
7618 E. Evans Rd
San Antonio, TX 78266

Hotel: 
Best Western Atrium
(210) 651-4100
17401 I-35
Schertz, TX 78154

We do not have any hotel rooms for parents.  Please if parents want a room, you need to make your own reservation.  Be sure to make it clear to the hotel that you are separate from the robotics team. We do not want you to confuse the hotel and have parents accidentaly take rooms we need for students.

Trip costs are $115, which include the Friday night stay in the hotel, breakfast Saturday and lunch on Friday and Saturday.  Students will have to bring their own money for dinner Friday and Saturday nights.

Here is how you pay:

Step 3: Login (you need to login to the same account that you used to enroll in FTC)

Step 4: Click enrollment tab near the top and click on FTC Alamo enrollment

Step 5: Follow steps to checkout.
