Good Morning!
Just a quick note for Admin about your Spelling Bee program. Last week we had a coordinator's meeting to review this year's calendar and procedures for the District Spelling Bee. All Coordinators have received the information and should be getting things in place. Each site's program may look very different...that's OK!
Our timeline of events:
October 24: FCSS Preparing for the Bee Webinar (click here to register)
Late October/Early November: Coordinator should receive login information from SCRIPPS
January 17: Spelling Bee packets delivered to the sites
*January 22: Sites will hold their Spell-Offs (Please calendar this date and reserve space to hold your written Spell-Off)
*January 23: Tiebreaker if needed (Judy will contact sites after 5:00 on January 23rd if this is needed)
January 29: Winning sites give Judy payment for FCSS Competition (Please open a PO for $240 soon)
When you open your PO at school, you will want to make it for $240 in case you have 2 winners at your site. Do this now so you won’t be panicking in January. You can use Object Code: 580008 - site code - resource code (site discretion)
If you have a winner, the check is made out to:
Fresno County Superintendent of Schools Attn: Pinky Torres 1111 Van Ness Ave. Fresno, CA 93721
February 27: 2 elementary and 2 intermediate students from CUSD will participate in the FCSS Spell-Off at CVMD
