Scheduling Team Meetings.
To reserve space in a district school for an Odyssey of the Mind team meeting, the coach should email Donna Norton at npfacilitiesuse@npenn.org In the email, specify the building, the day, the time, if the meeting is weekly and the date the team will stop meeting. You will be given a "permit" to hold your meeting in a specific building, at a specific day/time. Bring the permit to meetings so that you have documentation that you have reserved the space. Please ensure that all students are respectful throughout the meeting; no supplies should be used and personal property should not be touched.
The 2019 Odyssey of the Mind Program Guide is a great resource for coaches.

competition, completing forms and more! 2019 Program Guide
