Why pre-register?

You may be asking the question:  Why pre-register?   Before I answer essentially this is our request:

Please pre-register. 

Don't assume because you get materials now we will plan to buy for you to have later on.  We need to know now if you are willing to come this summer and are willing to use the materials.  If you are willing then we want to make sure we can get have the materials for your use during the 2016/17 school year. 

Essentially we have 900 active teachers who are currently receiving science kits.  About 3 years ago we had over 1200 who received science kits (the drop is because we have not had science training in the past 3 years). 
We know we will probably not be able to provide kits for all 900 active teachers plus the potential 300-500 new teachers at current AMSTI schools who we don't even know about because they are not in our database. 
Because our funds are so limited, we want to be strategic in our buying.  If we only have 90 second grade teachers wanting and willing to implement science modules beginning fall 2016 we want to only buy for those 90 and not the 150 that are currently on our list.  This is what will allow us to make sure our funds are spent as wisely as possible. 

So please.....pre-register!  :)
