Written Events Rundown
Send Written Events to:
Ridge Point High School
C/O Rick Stepp
500 Waters Lake Blvd
Missouri City, TX 77459
Rick Stepp, RPHS DECA Advisor: 281-634-9931
- Please turn in two copies of each written event. Each should be stapled in the upper left hand corner. NO FOLIOS PLEASE for DISTRICT (State and ICDC require them, not District = DO NOT forget to order them NOW for State/ICDC before they run out!)
- A copy of the “Statement of Assurances” and “Penalty Point” sheet should be placed at the FRONTof the of each paper.
- Entries should be RECEIVED by January 11, 2017.
- Penalty pointing will take place on Jan 11that Ridge Point HS and if your students’ papers are not there they WILL NOT be advancing to the State level.
- Please plan to assist with the Penalty Pointing if you have written events. It’s exasperating and unfair to receive a dozen entries or more from a chapter and then have no advisor representing that chapter to assist with the penalty pointing…Last year’s pointing had terrific attendance/effort and was wrapped in well under 3 hours
District and State Officer candidate’s applicationsneed to be postmarked by January 6, 2017.
Texas DECA Scholarship Applicationsneed to be postmarked by January 6, 2017.
Notes to Remember for January 20th:
ID-Students must bring a picture ID (school or state issued ID)
Permission Slip: Bring a permission slip from your school with you to the conference
Students WILL have their schedule on their badge to assist them
Most written/operations events will be in classrooms again this year with a large holding room nearby; role play/team decision-making events will prep in the small gym and present in the competition gym
We plan on having a number of student members of the Blue Crew again to assist with getting competitors to prep areas and other duties, but you are ALWAYS encouraged to bring your own adult helpers
