Teens are required to be onsite for the duration of Teen Conference from April 5 - 8, 2018. The safety of our Teens is paramount. Since Teens will have to miss school, it is the responsibility of the Teens and their Parents to make special arrangements with their schools in preparation for their absence (i.e. turn in excused absence form to school as soon as Teen Conference registration has been confirmed, make arrangements with the school regarding any assignments or exams that would fall during that time period, notify any sports teams or any other extracurricular activities that your child will be away during that time period.

If there are rare and unique circumstances in which a conflict cannot be avoided or resolved, Teens may request permission from the Regional Director to arrive late or depart early from the Eastern Region Teen Conference, BUT must adhere to the following:

1) No teen may drive to or from the conference or be picked up or returned by another teen

2) An adult who has already been approved by the parent must sign the teen in for late arrival or out for early departure at the POPS office. Identification will be required.

3) For late arrival, the adult must take the teen to the POPs office. The certified chaperone will be called to the office and the teen will be released to the advisor. No teen is permitted to walk to their room unescorted or be in the hotel unescorted.

4) For early departure, a certified chaperone must escort the Teen to the POPs Office and the Teen will be released to an authorized adult.

4) If the teen misses a scheduled waltz rehearsal, he or she will not be permitted to participate in the waltzat the Saturday Gala.

5) If a teen is arriving late or departing early, he or she must be in a triple or quad room, because no Teen can room alone. Teens staying in a double cannot request to leave late or early if they would be away overnight, because the other teen would be forced to room alone—and that is not allowed.

6) The Eastern Region has the right to refuse admittance of a teen if they appear to be under the influence of alcohol or otherwise impaired.

7) The request must be completed and uploaded to the Teen Conference website at: under “Late Arrivals/Early Departures” bySunday, March 4, 2018. The Regional Director is the ONLY person who can, in order to be considered by the Regional Director. The Regional Director is the ONLY person who can grant such permission—and it must be in writing.
