REMINDERS:
Teachers should inform students of their competition events and times so that they are able to arrive to the appropriate locations on time.

Please note: events and performances are closed activities. Only the participants and judges may be present during judging.
If a student places in an event, he/she will receive his/her ribbon at the conclusion of the event. Scantron-based events will be scored in the scorer’s room after the event concludes. Students who participate Scantron-based events, should check in at the Information Table
Teachers should remind all students to stay within the designated areas for this contest. Also, students should be reminded to respect the classroom spaces of the host teachers.
Additionally, all teachers, participants, and parents should keep in mind that every effort was made to make this competition as fun and as fair as possible. There will inevitably be differences in judgment and the interpretation of the students’ performance. Please remember that all judges are volunteers who work to the best of their ability under time limitations. We welcome your suggestions for improvement of Concurso Académico.
