The RCMS spelling bee process will begin with classroom-level spelling bees held in ELA classes on Nov. 30th. All 6-8th graders who wish to participate must do so in person. Additional information follows:

• At the classroom level students will write a series of spelling words after being announced by the instructor. These words will be from the official Scripps Spelling Bee words. These written words will be collected and graded by the instructor. The student with the highest number of correctly spelled words will represent their class in the schoolwide spelling bee. One student per class will be selected.
• At the school level spellers will spell their word in order for judges to clearly hear the response. This will take place in the media center where spectators are allowed but must remain silent. Only students who qualified in the classroom level bee will be permitted to participate. Students may ask for the word to be repeated as well as a definition for the word and/or use in a sentence. The schoolwide bee will occur Monday, December 5th, at 5:00.
• At the district level the student winner of the schoolwide bee will represent RCMS. Additional details will be supplied.
• Word lists for grade levels, school-level, and champion-level are below.
