 Students, to access the team document I shared with you, you must login to your hcpss.me account. The first time you look for the shared document, it will be in the "Share with Me" section. Once you find it there, move it to "My Drive".

We will begin our session at 8:15 tomorrow morning. With the snow day on Tues. and only half the questionnaires returned, we will wait until next week to decide if we will begin at 8:00 am.

Thank you to all the volunteers and students who made the first day of building successful. Students, please remember that your coach may have assigned a task to complete this week. If so, please be considerate, and do it.

For Teams Building At School
Homework Assignments - To Be Completed by Friday, January 8th.
  1. Gather materials from around the house that you feel would be helpful in building a machine. (Watching the videos of last years teams will help give you ideas.) The more materials you bring in, the more creative your team can get.
  2. Review the rules and requirements, FAQs, and videos from last year found on the Howard County Public Library Rube Goldberg site.
Friday Morning Meetings
  1. Our first Friday morning meeting will be held on Fri., Jan. 8th. We will meet every Friday (that students are in school) thereafter unless otherwise mentioned.
  2. Meetings will occur from 8:15 to 9:15.
  3. Please arrive between 8:05 and 8:15. (Please do not any earlier as I am rarely here before 8:05.)
  4. For the first 2 weeks, please enter the building with your child and walk them down to the exit doors between 4th and 5th grade. If you arrive between 8:05 and 8:15, please wait inside the building by the doors until someone comes to get you. Beginning with the 3rd week, you can walk them to the foyer/front office and then let them walk down to the exit doors unaccompanied.
  5. Before waiting by the exit door between 4th and 5th grade, students should put their backpack, coat, and lunch on their desk in their homeroom.
  6. If your child is in C.A. and you drop them off before 8:15, I will pick them up from C.A. If you drop your child off at C.A. after 8:15, you will need to follow steps 4 and 5.
  7. Please check the blog every Friday morning before leaving for school. If Rube Goldberg must be cancelled unexpectedly I will post it by 7:15. Additionally, there may be times in which certain teams will not be able to meet. In those events, I will post it by 7:15 as well.
  8. If there is a delay, Rube Goldberg will be cancelled for that day.
