Question and Answer
How do I get a hold of Ms. Clement?
The only way to get a hold of me is by email or calling the school. Emailing is best! If you email me I will get back to you within 24 hours during school days. (I do not check my email when I am at home with my family so if you email me after 3:00 I will not get back to you until the next morning) During the summer I will get back to you within a week. If you do call please make sure you leave your name on the message and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I do not go into the school during the summer so if you leave a message at school I will not get back to you until the first day back at school.

What is the name of the hotel where they are staying in?
Super 8 Cedar City
145 N 1550 W, Cedar City
Phone: 1-435-586-8880
Who do the students rooming with?
-- Girls and Boys are in different hotel rooms and are not allowed to enter rooms of the opposite gender. The students will choose a bus partner that will be in the rooms and groups with them. Adults can not stay in the rooms with the students because of Nebo School District Policy. There are 3 students per room.
Where does the bus pick them up and drop them off?
This is a difficult because it depends on where we are competing or eating that day. I d not have a we are picked up at the school at 8:00 AM Thursday morning and usually get back around 11:30 PM on Saturday. I always have the students call you when we are about 10 mins away from the school.
What are the Techies rolls in the trip?
On our tech team we have seven students that work together in a relay type race to compete for team and individual prizes including trophies and scholarships. They are competing on Friday and then running the tech and helping the actors with their props, costume, and helping them work on their scenes.
Should they bring extra money.
They will need money for food and any souvenirs they might want.
How do I get a hold of people when we are in Cedar
I will give you my phone number right before we leave to the competition because texting is the best way to get a hold of me during Shakespeare Competition. I will be in the rooms watching our students perform and we are not aloud to have our phones on during this time. I am going to turn it on to check my messages between EVERY round. The rounds last about 45 minutes. We only have 10 to 15 minutes between rounds, which is why it is easier to respond to texts.
I can not give you other students or parents phones. If you have any questions please contact me! If you text please text me your name first since your numbers are not in my phone. Also please do not contact me between 10 pm and 6 am unless it is an emergency. I need be able to get sleep so I can be at my best as their teacher. I will link my phone number here as soon as we head down.
