2020 SEMINAR INFORMATION – LETTER FROM STATE SUPERVISOR
Good afternoon fellow officials,
I hope that this email finds all of you and your families well, healthy, and not seriously impacted by the current Covid situation.
1) Make SURE that when you register for a seminar, that you note whether it is in-person or virtual. There are a few in-person seminar options floating around.2) Seminars are no longer region specific… if you see a virtual seminar from another District that fits your schedule better – feel free to sign up.3) When you log into the Zoom Meeting, please make sure that your screen name shows your name as it is on your registration. For example, CHRIS MARRINER, would be perfect, MARRINER FAMILY would be OK if there is only one of you… but the screen name BIGGOALIE123 doesn’t let us know who you are. We will ask you to change it so we can mark you as attended.4) For attendance purposes, if you have multiple family members on the same zoom, it would be beneficial if they each log in to a device with their own Screen Name.5) Attendance will be tracked via Chat, Polls, and Camera activity. Don’t plan on just logging in and turning your camera off. (you know who you are) 🙂6) CLOSED BOOK EXAMS – for Level 2, 3, and 4. A link to your Closed Book exam will be sent to you after attendance for the seminar is closed. You will have 7 days to complete your closed book exam. It will need to be completed during 1 session. Please plan accordingly, if you are going on vacation the day after your seminar, plan on bringing your laptop with you to complete the exam. AGAIN – you will only have 7 days to complete.7) We will be utilizing a “waiting room” to ensure that only registered officials for that seminar are allowed into that seminar. The Seminar Coordinator, meeting host, will grant you access to the Zoom. There will be NO WALK-UPS allowed.8) The link to the Zoom Meeting will be sent to you 1 hour in advance of the Seminar. This email will be sent to the Email address on file in your USA Hockey Profile, and Seminar Registration… if you don’t see this email 45 minutes prior to start, check your Spam, and Junk Mail folders.
I recognize that news of seminar dates has been slow coming out. I truly appreciate your patience as we planned for the safest possible solution.
Sincerely,
