Instructions for signing up for the
2017-2018 FLL Jr. Season:
The per-student cost payable online is $27.00, thanks to local sponsors and the Glastonbury Board of Education (BOE). The actual cost is more than double that amount. If your child is in the free and reduced lunch program, you will be given the option to waive your fee. If you choose yes, your eligibility will be verified with the BOE.
This year there will be no lottery. We will be trying out a "first-come-first-served" model, and you must pay at the time of registering to hold your spot. We regret we are unable to offer a refund if you change your mind. Any extra funds will be put towards supporting the program, and we can offer you a receipt for tax deduction if your child no longer ends up participating. We will establish a waiting list. There is NO CHARGE to be on the waiting list. RevTrack will open at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, October 16th for all participants.
Sign ups for FLL Junior through G-REC will occur in two phases:
1) COACH'S CHILD SIGN UP COMPLETED
2) PARTICIPANT SIGN UP - October 16th at 9:00am until filled
PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP BEFORE OCTOBER 16th UNLESS YOU ARE COMMITTING TO COACH A TEAM.
There are two coaches per team. Each coach is expected to:
1) Attend training in the Glastonbury High School auditorium on Tuesday evening, December 12th;
2) Read several documents from FIRST to prepare to teach/lead your team;
3) Coach 8 team meetings, see FLL Jr. "For Parents" for the meeting dates;
4) Make every effort to bring your team to the Expo on Saturday, March 8th in Glastonbury;
5) Take responsibility for and care for the equipment loaned to you;
6) Take care of your duties for G-REC to order equipment for your team, which includes making sure both coaches register for the new season online with FIRST; and
7) Make an appointment and get yourself fingerprinted by Glastonbury Public Schools. (If you were fingerinted in 2016 and are coaching again, you do not need to go again. If you were fingerprinted in 2015 and this is your third year in a row coaching, you are also all set. Everyone else must go, even Glastonbury Public School employees because there is a new form for you to fill out unless you were hired in 2016 or later.)
