Team Placement Information

We highly recommend forming your own team of 5-7 students and 2 co-team managers (e.g. adult coaches). This way, you are ready to go immediately.

If you have team members to form a team in mind, please ask everyone to write each other's names in the following section. We will try to place your group into one team.

Same-team placement for siblings *

If you are registering multiple students, please indicate whether you prefer that siblings be placed on the same or different teams.

Yes

If your team advances to DI Global Finals, will you and your student go? *

When your team advances past the MA state tournament, you are invited to showcase your solutions at Global Finals (GF). The DI Global Finals will be held in Kansas City, Missouri on May 18-23, 2020. The cost can be high (about $2500-$3000 for one parent, one student to attend), but worth every penny, according to families who have attended GF. If your team has an opportunity to go to GF, will you commit to go with your child and the team? (Students in 9-12 grades don't need parent to accompany them with the discretion of the Team Manager(s))

Yes

Schedule commitment *

Please discuss this commitment with your student before agreeing

We agree that my child will attend the DI regional tournament in March 2020 and the State tournament at WPI (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) if the team qualifies.

Volunteer commitment *

Lexington DI is a volunteer-run program. We require a volunteer commitment from at least one parent of each student participating in the program. Preference is given in team placement to students whose parents volunteer to co-manage a team.

As the parent, I offer to be a team manager or co-manager.

As the parent, I offer to help on-going DI meetings and activities.

As the parent, I offer to be an appraiser. I need training though. It will take two days on weekend, including a training day in Jan/Feb, and the tournament day in March.

My schedule is very busy. I can not help at all, but I am willing to pay up to $50 to sponsor an outside appraiser.

I would not commit, but I really want my child to grow by joining DI

No interference commitment *

The Destination ImagiNation program requires that all Team Challenge solutions be the work of team members. Any assistance with the solution from parents, siblings, classmates, or other people not on the team is considered "interference" and will generally result in a penalty for the team. This includes actual work on the solution, suggestions and ideas that are incorporated in the solution, and any feedback about material that the team is considering or incorporating in the solution (even "that's a really clever solution").

Our family agrees to abide by the "No Interference" rule. We understand that the team will need to report to their appraisers any assistance, ideas or suggestions that they have received from anyone not on the team, and that interference will result in a penalty for the team.

Consent, release and indemnification *

I am parent or guardian with legal custody of the student who is the subject of this registration, who is a minor (my "child"). I have read and understand the description of the Lexington Destination ImagiNation program (the "program") and its rules and parameters on this registration form. In consideration of the opportunity for my child to participate in the program, I hereby consent to (1) my child’s participation in the program, including without limitation meetings, fundraisers, competitions, and town-wide program events, (2) the taking of pictures, videos, and other images of my child during or in connection with any program activities, (3) the use of my child’s name, work, and/or image (including videos) in program activities, in advertising or promoting the program, or for any other program-related purpose, and (4) the provision or authorization of emergency medical or dental care for my child, including hospital treatment, by any program volunteer or coach, should such care become necessary (in the sole and absolute judgment of such volunteer or coach) to preserve or protect the life, limb, health or well-being of my child during the course of any program activity. In the case of such emergency care, I understand that I will be notified as soon as is reasonable possible under the circumstances. I further agree, on behalf of myself and my child, to release, indemnify, and hold harmless the program, its officers, employees, agents, volunteers, and managers, the Lexington Public Schools, Lexington Community Education, any PTA, PTO, PTSA, or JCSA, and any person or entity hosting any program activities, from any and all liability, claims, damages or expenses arising directly or indirectly out of any incident involving, or on account of any injury to, my child in connection with the program.

Required

Payment

The registration fee is $125. It covers Lexington DI T-shirt, the DI team registration and tournament fee. Team managers will collect additional $25 for supplies once the teams form.

We will send you a link to on-line payment after your student is placed in a team.

Agree to pay on time *

I will pay $125 to LexDI within 7 business days when I receive an email notification.

Required

What is next ...

SAVE THE DATES: After developing solutions to their DI Challenges, teams present at a regional tournament in March 2020 and qualifying teams move on to the State tournament at Worcester Polytechnic Institute later in March 2020.

Your registration includes the following commitments: (1) Attendance by your student at the tournaments, (2) Volunteer service by at least one parent as a team co-manager or in another supporting role, and (3) Compliance with program rules including the "No Interference" rule.

The team placement process will be an ongoing effort on a monthly basis, starting in July and ending in early December 2019. We will group 5-7 kids per team based on similar criteria (e.g. age). We will communicate about your team as soon as the team is formed. PLACEMENT ON A TEAM IS NOT GUARANTEED. STUDENTS WITH A PARENT VOLUNTEERING AS A CO-MANAGER OR APPRAISER WILL RECEIVE PREFERENCE FOR TEAM PLACEMENT. If we are not able to place your child on a team, your registration fee will not be charged.

Finally, as with all volunteer programs in the Lexington Public Schools, volunteers are required to complete a CORI (criminal offender record information) check. Forms are available at your school or at Lexington Community Education's office at LHS. If you are volunteering as a co-manager, please complete a form and submit it as soon as possible.

A copy of your responses will be emailed to the address you provided.
