The later the buses leave, the worse the Friday afternoon traffic, which can be horrendous between Great America and Pleasanton. Be considerate of your fellow students and DON'T BE LATE!(*) Buses may or may not remain at Great America all day. These times are therefore dependent on buses being able to make it back on time if they must leave and return. If there is any change that we are aware of at the time, we will let you know at the 12:00-1:00 check-in.
NOTES
- BRING A PENCIL!
- Try to bring a digital watch with stopwatch mode that measures to a tenth of a second, so that you can measure times on rides. If you don't have one or can't borrow one, at least bring a watch that will give you whole seconds.
- Bring a calculator. BE SURE IT IS IDENTIFIED WITH YOUR NAME!
- Packets will be collected as you enter the bus at the end of the day. All required data must be in YOUR packet by that time in order for you to receive credit for it.
