NEW: 2021 Spelling BEE
It's almost time for our 2021 Scripps National Spelling Bee competition! Attached you will find the study list provided from the SNSB program. As your student progresses further into the competition, more study lists will be provided.
Participation in the spelling bee is completely optional for off campus students, it is not
mandatory. All students in class will participate in the grade level classroom bees on the week of Feb. 8-12, and the top 2 spellers from each classroom will advance to the 1st-3rd grade School Bee on Thursday, February 25th at 1pm or the 4th-6th grade School Bee on Friday, February 26th at 1:15pm.
If you have an off-campus student who would like to compete in the spelling bee, they must be able/willing to come into school in full uniform and participate in the classroom bee. If they are one of the top 2 spellers in the classroom bee, then they will also need to be able/willing to participate in the school wide bees in full school uniform on the 25th or 26th of February. Emails will be sent out to let you know what day and time your child's class bee will be during the week of 2/8-2/12. Please watch for that email soon. Classroom bees will be limited to teachers and students only, no parents will be permitted in the rooms. School bee's audience will consist of parents of the school bee contestants only, no school assembly this year.
