Consent Form
Teachers must have the 2024 competition Consent Form signed by each student’s parent/guardian. Teachers can distribute the form either by using the Digital Consent Form via their teacher dashboard or via the attached Consent Form, one of which must be returned to the teacher before the student can compete in the Spelling Bee.
Teachers must acknowledge receipt of the signed Consent Form in the class dashboard to allow each student to take part. -
