Parent & Student Surveys
Dear Logos Parents,
Secondary Student Surveys
During the week of February 1st we will be asking the secondary students to complete a brief survey for each class that they are enrolled in. This survey is designed to communicate the students’ perceptions of the secondary program, especially the instruction, to the secondary faculty and administrators. We value the students’ opinion, and our goal is improve each year. This would be a great time to sit down with your child and discuss each class with him/her. Secondary parents are also welcome to provide input at this time. Simply print out the Secondary Student Survey which is attached to this email and turn it in to my box in the front office by Friday, February 5th.
Elementary Parent Surveys
During the same week, we will be asking the elementary parents to complete a survey for each elementary class in which they have a child enrolled. This form will come home attached to the HAS this Friday. Please fill this out and return it to my box in the front office by Friday, February 5th. I’ve attached the Parent Survey to this email as well.
Thank you for your continued support as we plow forward into spring!
Cheers,
Matt Whitling

Spelling Bee Rules:
1. The competitors will be given a practice round to acquaint them with the procedures and give them a chance to relax. No one will be eliminated during the practice round.
2. Each competitor, after being given a word, should SAY the word, SPELL the word, and then SAY it again. If the word is mispronounced, the spellmaster should correct the student (Homonyms should automatically be put into a sentence or accompanied with a definition). This SAY-SPELL-SAY procedure must be followed to ensure that: (1) the speller understands the correct word, and (2) the judges know when the spelling is complete and no more letters will be added. The head judge will stop the student if he fails to pronounce the word before spelling, or if it is pronounced incorrectly. NOTE: Failure to say-spell-say will not in itself eliminate the speller from competition, but it will reduce the chances of correct spelling and/or the ability to arbitrate.
3. Contestants must speak clearly and loudly. The spellmaster’s decision is final in determining the correctness of the spelling, which may be misunderstood if not spoken clearly.
4. The contestant may, before beginning to spell, ask for a definition of the word, ask for the word to be used in a sentence, and/or ask for the word to be repeated. Requests will be granted until the officials agree that the word has been made reasonably clear to the speller. If a student takes unreasonable advantage of this opportunity, he will be advised by the spellmaster to say the word and begin spelling.
5. If the word is a proper noun, the spellmaster must say “proper noun” after the word is given so that the student will know to say “capital” at the beginning of the word. It does not disqualify the student, however, if he forgets to say “capital” but spells the word correctly.
6. If there are two words, e.g. Rocky Mountains, the student should say “space” between the words. No penalty will be incurred if the student does not say “space.”
7. Books of the Bible that have a Roman numeral in front of them, e.g. I, II, or III John, should only be used as the name. The student should not be required to say or spell “first”, “second”, etc.
8. Words should be selected in a planned sequence, without regard to the perceived ability of the student. The student will have 30 seconds to spell the word from the time he begins the word. Once a word is started, the student may start over, but may only use the letters originally stated; no letter changes are allowed.
9. No talking will be allowed among contestants or between contestants and members of the audience. If a contestant receives assistance from anyone in the audience, he will be disqualified. The audience is also requested to remain seated until a break, to avoid confusing or distracting the contestants.
10. When a word is misspelled, the spellmaster will say, “That is incorrect,” then correctly spell the word for the contestant, and give the next word to the next speller. However, when only two spellers remain, the procedures will follow rules #12 and #13.
11. Rounds will continue, with a written record of which students went down in which round, until four students remain. Then it will be announced that third and fourth places will be determined by the next two contestants to go out.
12. When only two spellers remain, the spellmaster will pause to announce the change of elimination procedures. At that point, when one contestant misspells a word, the other contestant shall be given an opportunity to spell that same word. If the second contestant spells that word correctly, plus the next word on the spellmaster’s list, then the second contestant shall be declared the champion.
13. At any point in the bee, if the competitors exhaust the word list for that grade, the spellmaster is to use words from the next highest grade’s list. If, after a number rounds, no one has been eliminated, the spellmaster is to switch to the next higher grade’s word list. This applies even when there are only two competitors remaining.
14. The names and places of the top four winners should be turned in to the principal right after the bee.
15. The top two place winners in 3rd - 6th grade will compete in a School Championship Bee. This will determine the Champion Speller of the school.
