spelling bee details

The CRS Spelling Bee is recommended for students in grades 3 to 6. Students in grades K-2 can compete, but please keep in mind the content for the CRS competition is designed for grades 3-6 (we want participation to be fun for your student).

 

The CRS Spelling Bee will be held in February. The written round will be conducted online between DATES TBA (via the Scripps online testing platform). The top 20 students will advance to the oral round on DATE TBA at CRS at TBA in the Cafeteria. The rounds include spelling words and vocabulary words. Our Spelling Bee Coordinator will send details to parents as the Bee draws near.

 

Tip: Students should NOT use Safari or Internet Explorer web browsers for the online written round. The Scripps platform does not support these browsers, and students will not be able to complete their written tests. Note that students must read and accept an integrity pledge before using the online platform. Parents/guardians are not allowed to assist students during the test.

 

The winner of the oral round (our school champion!) will represent Churchill Road at the Fairfax County Spelling Bee! The Fairfax County Spelling Bee is expected to be held in March (date TBA). In addition, the Fairfax County Spelling Bee winner will earn the right to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee during Bee Week
