We hope this email finds you safe and healthy during this time. No one could imagine we would be circumnavigating a global pandemic to the extent that we are. We trust that you are all taking the mandatory precautions seriously for your personal health and safety as well as the health and safety of others. Please be safe and sensible during this inconceivable time. Our hearts are with all of you.
On Friday, March 13, 2020 we informed the BOOST Community of the enforcement order from the County of Riverside mandating that all large gatherings from March 12-April 30, 2020 are required to be canceled or postponed in order to slow transmission of communicable diseases generally and COVID-19 specifically. You can see our announcement here.
We look forward to reuniting with you this fall, October 26 - 29, 2020, in Palm Springs for our previously scheduled program. Until then, be safe.
See you in the fall,
TEAMBOOST
A Message from the BOOST Leadership Team
We are all feeling the #BOOSTBlues this week and wish we could all be together in Palm Springs. It has been an odd experience stepping out of our annual routine of packing up the rental truck of supplies, preparing the final logistics, and heading out to the desert for BOOST.
We are missing being together with all of you and wanted to send a message of LOVE from our Zoom gathering. We miss and love you and can’t wait until our BOOST Community can gather again.
We are pleased to announce that we have rescheduled our annual conference to this fall, October 26 - 29, 2020 in Palm Springs. We are working hard to keep our schedule and content as closely aligned to what we have previously planned.
REGISTRATION
We will open registration next month for anyone that did not have an opportunity to register for the April 2020 dates. If you already registered and did not cancel by the deadline, your registration has been moved to the October dates. You can still update your account with TBDs or substitute attendee names through September 15th.
WORKSHOPS
Most of our workshops previously planned for April have remained intact for October.
HOTELS
All of our partner hotels will be opening room blocks for October in the next month- stay tuned for announcements on our social media channels.
We are working to get all of our staff trainings live online and we can’t wait to learn with you! Visit the BOOST Cafe Online Learning page for a skeleton schedule of what we have planned for you and your team.
Every Monday- BOOST Live Virtual Learning Community Every Tuesday- BOOST Nation: Town Hall Meetings Wednesday-Friday- BOOST Boot Camp Series & Certificate Program
We’re in an unprecedented moment. The ways we teach, and how students learn, are shifting in ways they never have before. It’s hard to stay connected, focused, and on-plan with so much change happening daily. But, fortunately, we also have tools, technology, and community keeping us all together.
TEAMBOOST has collected a wealth of free, online resources that teachers, afterschool program staff, youth workers, and families can access to keep the kids in your life learning and growing.
As of Friday, March 13, 2020, the BOOST headquarters closed to the public, with all team members working remotely, in order to prioritize the health and safety of our team and community. Please do not call our office, as we are unable to check voicemails. If you need to contact us, please see our Contact Us web page to email the appropriate team member.
