March 31, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. Tentative plans are to hold the Spell-Off in Rooms
270, 274 & 201 at FCOE. The participants in the County Spell-Off are the
qualifying finalists of schools who held district-wide spelling bee
competitions. The top two winners in each division (elementary and junior high)
will represent Fresno County in the California State Spelling Championships.
Each participating district may send TWO
representatives in the elementary division (Grades 4-6) and TWO representatives in the
junior high division (Grades 7-8) to compete in the Fresno County Spell-Off,
(not two
finalists in each grade level). The elementary division is an oral competition, and the junior high division
is a written competition. Teachers, members of your staff, and the contestants’
families are welcome to attend the Spell-Off, although seating is limited.
There is an $80 registration fee per student to enter the County Spell-Off. The
winning schools will be responsible for the $475 registration fee for entry into the State Elementary Championship and/or
the $350 registration fee for the Junior High Championship. Student name

emailed to you to submit your student names, after we have received your online
