11th Annual Scripps Spelling Bee
South Cook Intermediate Service Center and ComEd are in a joint partnership to sponsor the Annual and Regional Scripps Spelling Bees for the three Intermediate Service Centers (ISCs): South Cook, North Cook, and West 40.
Any public, private or home schooled students within the service areas of the ISCs can participate in the 11th Annual Scripps Spelling Bee events provided they have registered and enrolled with Scripps National Spelling Bee ( www.spellingbee.com ). Our 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finalists from the North Cook, South Cook and West 40 Annual Bees will have the opportunity to compete at the Regional ISC Scripps Championship Event.
Scripps is promoting an On Line Testing Platform for those schools that are doing hybrid learning.
The enrollment fee is $157 per school. Home-schooled Fee is $102. Check handling fee is $7.50. Enrollment deadline is December 20, 2020.
All school district spelling bees must be held prior to February 23, 2021 and only one student from each district can participate in our 11th Annual ISC Scripps Spelling Bee Events. THE STUDENT WINNER AND SPELLING BEE COORDINATOR WILL RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION NOTICE ELECTRONICALLY, AS TO THE DATE, TIME AND LOCATION FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE 11TH ANNUAL ISC SCRIPPS SPELLING BEE.
