Hallie Wells Middle School

Dear Parents,

It’s time for the 2021 Hallie Wells Middle School Spelling Bee!  The first step to spelling bee participation is to register at online-test.spellingbee.com by our newly extended deadline: 4 pm on Friday, January 29th, 2021.

This year, the Scripps National Spelling Bee has developed an online testing platform that will allow Hallie Wells Middle School to host our school spelling bee remotely from your homes.  Participation in the bee is optional for students, and a parent chaperone is required this year while students answer questions during the competition. 

If your child is interested in participating in the bee, I encourage you to watch this video tutorial that will walk you through the registration process and bee procedures.  Know that the test can be taken on any device with a web browser, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones.

Again, to participate, register at online-test.spellingbee.com by 4 pm on Friday, January 29th, 2021.  Scripps will provide testing information after registration is complete.  If you have already registered through the online testing platform for another child, you can log in to your account and add an additional child to that same parent account. There is no need to register a different email address for each child in your household.

Resources to help prepare for the bee can be found at spellingbee.com.  Please reach out to me if you have any questions about our school spelling bee program, and I look forward to having your child compete to represent our school!

Sincerely,

Kenneth W. Reddington
