Just wanted to remind everyone that they should arrive at St Joes by 8:00am for the bus to NJIT. The dress code is either the robotics jersey or a St Joes T-shirt. Hope to see you all tomorrow!

For anyone who missed the parents meeting I have uploaded the highlights sheet that was handed out and the slide show to the Documents page that can be found under important links on the right or on the Team Info page (or click here.)

We just added a forum to the website where students and parents can now chat, share ideals, and post comments on all thing FIRST! To use it all you have to do is follow these steps! After you register just let me know and I will activate you account.

Just wanted to remind everyone we will be having a robotics meeting on October 5th after school and a parents meeting on October 13th at 7pm. More information can be found on the News and Announcements page (Link found under “Important Links” on the right side of this page or on the “Team Info” page.)

Just wanted to let everyone know about some important updates to the website, if you look on the right side of the page under “Important Links” you will see a new link called “Parent/Student Information” or “Team Info” on the main navigation bar above, on this page you will find important information like an all new registration form that everyone should complete, any important documents that need to be filled out, and a calendar of upcoming events. Students should check this page regularly for important information.

Hope everyone had a great summer and hope to see you Tuesday at break for our first meeting!
