• Report directly to your scheduled club meeting location at the start of AO. Do not report to your regular AO classroom first.

• Sign the official attendance sheet with your Club Sponsor as soon as you arrive.

• Stay Informed: Pay attention to morning announcements earlier in the week and check with your Club Sponsor for meeting locations, as no overhead calls will be made during AO.
