Greetings everyone.  It is time to register your school for participation in the IMEA District activities for the next school year.  To register and participate:

• Step One – visit this IMEA website and click on “District Information”.

  Click on District V on the State map or scroll down to District 5.  Then click on the District number 5 (LH side of the screen).  Read the detailed instructions and when understood, click on “Step One.”  All schools, both new to the system and returning, must complete Step One, entering, updating or confirming their school information.  This step will register your school at the District Level.

• Step Two – Print out and submit the enclosed Elementary Information Form (no fee required) or Junior/Senior Participating School Form (and $25.00 fee) to the IMEA State Office.  This may be done online (click on Step Two) or by mail.
• Step Three – When both STEP ONE and STEP TWO are completed, the IMEA State Office will “activate” your school, giving you access to Step Three, which you will use next fall to nominate students to participate at the District V events.
