Debate Team with Awards at the Winter Springs invitational on Sunday September 9th.

Announcements for the week of 10/13-10/17

CAPTAINS/DIRECTORS:  For Thursday's Captains Meeting, I'd like to have a finalized roster for the Glenbrooks.  I need to finalize this trip and will need a signed list of participants.  If you know of anyone who has taken photos of Yale, Valley, or the Trinity CFL, please send them to me so that I can post them on the website.

CAPTAINS/DIRECTORS:   Make sure you look over the Blue Key Roster and make sure that there are no mistakes.  All those who are on this list have signed up and therefore disappointment wouldn't even describe my reaction to any last minute surprises. 

PARENTS:  Our next CFL is the 2nd weekend in November.  We will have a judge call.  Note:  the tournament moved to Lake Mary Prep, which means that it is yet another local-area tournament.  Our roster is expected to be as large as the first, so we will likely need about 12 judges.  Also, look over the Blue Key roster.  If you are judging, you will need to make note of departure times, hotels, etc.


*PARENTS, CAPTAINS, AND TEAM MEMBERS:  The Tournament Itineraries for The Bronx Invitational, The October 11 CFL, and Blue Key are posted.  If you are competing or judging/chaperoning, make sure there are no mistakes.  The rosters are final unless I made a major error in either excluding or including you.   Minneapple Invitational (November 6-9) and Glenbrooks (November 17-20) are forthcoming.

*PARENTS AND STUDENTS:  Due to the absurdly high cost of airfare and charter buses, the costs of our tournaments have unfortunately increased.  Out-of-State tournaments will be $350.00, excepting Harvard which will be $400.00.  Crestian and Blue Key will be 250.00.  In-State overnight tournaments that require charter buses will be $175.00.  *Charter Buses are running an average of 1,000.00 more per trip this year.  Airfare increases, based on first three planned tournaments are between 70-100.00 per ticket more than in previous years.  Our travel fees have remained static since 2001 while inflation has not.  Our budget cannot cover enough of the increases without your help.  I hope you understand and encourage you to plan accordingly.


*PARENTS:  If you are planning to attend or help with the Lake Highland Prep judge training on Saturday October 4th, please contact Georgia Perrotta markup4@aol.com as soon as you can. 

*Parents and Students:  Team Rosters are now posted on the Tournament Roster Page.  You will need your login and password to access both the tournament roster and itinerary.  winfp.lhps.org\name and password if you are trying to access this information away from LHP's campus.

 

*New Rules:  Both the Tournament Itinerary and Team Roster Pages are password protected.  This was done to ensure that vital team information was not made available to the public outside of school.  You will be prompted to provide a username and password.  Each student at Lake Highland has been assigned a username and password.  Parents may either use their students, or ask technology at Lake Highland to provide them one.  It isn't the greatest system, but is certainly better than allowing the general public all of our contact numbers addresses, plane reservations, hotel rooms, etc.  If you are confused, ask someone to help you.  All you have to remember is:

winfp.lhps.org\ (you must put winfp.lhps.org\ before your username in order for it to work) and then provide a password.  Students have set their own.  For Teachers/Coaches, these are the same ones that you use to navigate school website material.


* Any points of inquiry or correspondence should be directed to:
George Clemens:  gclemens@lhps.org
Mrs. Georgia Perrotta:  markup4@aol.com

Weekly Meetings:
*Coaches:  J103 Wednesdays during FLING
*Captains and Directors:  Thursdays in J103 during FLING
*Any individual event meetings will be scheduled as needed by the team directors.
