• Sadly, today is the last day of HSJI 2019. We’ve enjoyed working with you and seeing you develop new skills and create wonderful projects. This morning you have an 8:30-10:30 a.m. small group session followed by our awards program from 11 a.m-noon.
• After your last class this morning, instructors will walk with you to Ernie Pyle Hall Auditorium for our final program and awards at 11 a.m. Please let your parents know that they can park in either the pay lot across the street from EP Hall or in the Indiana Memorial Union pay lot, which is off the circle drive next to EP Hall. After the program, we’ll all head back to Spruce for check-out. Students may ride with their parents from EP Hall to Spruce.
• During your small group session this morning, please complete our workshop evaluation. We appreciate your feedback, which helps us plan next year’s Institute.
• The counseling staff asks you to use the checklist below as you move out today:
  • Make sure your room is clean and your furniture is back in its original position.
  • Check all drawers, shelves, and wardrobes for personal belongings.  Don’t leave anything behind.
  • Tie up your trash bags and place them in the trash bins that the custodial staff will place on your floor.
  • Find your floor counselors and check out with them.  They will collect your card and double-check that everything in your room is taken care of.
  • If someone other than your parents is picking you up, please stop by the counselors’ office before you leave.
  • If you are taking a early or late shuttle to Indianapolis airport from Bloomington, make sure you are completely checked out with time enough to meet your shuttle at Willkie north building. If you are scheduled to catch the shuttle at another location, please make arrangements with your floor counselor ASAP.

We’ll post today’s award winners on the HSJI site early next week. Please stay in touch. We wish you a successful school year!
