SUCCESS Retreat Registration

GEAR UP is pleased to host the SUCCESS Retreat on April 25 - April 27, 2013 at the Seventh Mountain Resort in Bend. We will begin at 3:30 in the afternoon on Thursday, April 25th and end around 1:00 PM on Saturday, April 27th (with the option of staying longer for additional team time).

The theme of this year’s retreat is Our Schools, Our Kids. The agenda will include breakout sessions covering topics such as: College Application Week, Senior Checklist, Developing Positive Attitudes, Preventing Summer Melt, Common Core, Learning Styles, Sustainability, and more. There will also be ample time for you to work together as a team to develop your GEAR UP plan for next year, as well as time to gather ideas from other schools.

Each cluster is invited to bring a team of eight participants to the retreat. You may, of course, attend with a smaller team. If you would like to bring more than eight participants, please register them online under “alternate / waiting list attendees”. You will be notified by Wednesday, April 3 about whether your alternates can attend.

Think carefully about who attends the retreat; consider including key GEAR UP staff, key school personnel (administrators, lead teachers, counselors, etc.), key decision-makers and implementers, higher ed partners, parents, partners, or community members.
