The official schedule has not yet been posted, however students will only be required to attend for a small portion of the day (some students may have to attend for a portion of both days). Each student will have their own time slot to present resulting in varying arrival and departure times based on their individual schedule.
Service Provider(s)
Students should arrive no later than 30 mins before their scheduled presentation. The competition itself runs from 9:00am - 5:00pm. Mr. Eaton will be busy judging/assisting with the logistics so students should send a quick text informing him that they have arrived. The same should be done when they depart. Students will be provided with Mr. Eaton’s mobile number . The York School, DECA Ontario (www.deca.ca)
