Register, register , register...

It is very important for you to pre-register for all courses.  Limits on room size, handouts, etc. are involved.  There are also instances where we cannot read the signature of those who did not pre-register and we therefore cannot give staff development credit to the individual.  If you do attend without pre-registering it is very important to include your employee number as well as your name and location on the sign-in sheet.
