2010 IYS *Online* Informational Sessions

We are offering several *Online*informational training webinars to help schools and prevention providers feel more comfortable with the online version of the IYS. Perhaps you’ve thought about using the IYS *Online* but were hesitant because you aren't too familiar with it. If so, please plan on attending one of the upcoming trainings, and see how your school can benefit by participating online rather than by paper.

The trainings will be conducted online and last approximately 1 hour. You will need a computer with internet access and a phone capable of calling long distance into our teleconferencing line. You can also listen to the conference through your computer's speakers and make any comments and/or ask questions via the on-screen public chat option if you’re not able to dial long distance.


The dates and times are as follows. Please contact us by email to jcthomas@chestnut.org to register your participation in one of these sessions. Be sure to include your name, school, and date/time you would like to attend. Further information will be sent once we receive your registration.

Thanks and we hope to see you next week!

2010 IYS Confirmations

We are in the process of sending confirmation emails to all schools that are registered for the 2010 survey. Each school will receive a PDF file attached to their email that lists the registration information for their individual school. Schools can make any revisions needed on the confirmation form, and then fax the revised form to the IYS Office at 309-451-7764. If no revisions are needed, the form does not need to be returned.

We are sending emails out to schools by county name, starting with Adams County. We hope to complete all confirmation emails by the end of next week (Nov. 6).

As always, please let us know if you have any questions!

Thank you to participants

We would like to say thank you to all who participated in the online training session on "Accessing your IYS results online". Feedback from those in attendance says the information was valuable to them in learning how to access and print their results.

For those schools that participated online in the 2008 or 2009 IYS but did not attend one of the trainings, we are able to schedule one-on-one sessions at your convienance. Please contact Jessica Thomas to indicate your interest. Be sure to include your name, title, school, and 2-3 options for days/times you are available. We will get back to you as soon as we can to confirm your individual session.
