Epic Students,

What’s the buzz about?

Are you in 3rd-8th grade and looking to show off your spelling skills? Join us on October 14th at Quest Church for an Epic Spelling Bee! We are so excited to host you and your families at our 2nd annual Epic Spelling Bee, where students will compete for a trophy and ultimately the chance to move on to the Oklahoma Regional Spelling Bee Competition.

Please note that this event is intended for 3rd - 8th grade participants, and students will be required to compete on their current grade level due to the formality of using a national Spelling Bee platform. Each grade level will compete at different times throughout the day. Please see the schedule below for information on when your student will compete. You will have an opportunity to sign up for your child's specific time frame in the registration details.

* Please read all the way to the bottom of this registration form.

IMPORTANT: Epic is registered with the Scripps National Spelling Bee platform, and this comes with some important information regarding registration for your student. Epic will host 2 separate Spelling Bees this year, one in the Oklahoma City area and one in the Tulsa area. One winner from each area will move on to the Oklahoma Regional Spelling Bees. Students who participate in the Epic Oklahoma City area Spelling Bee must live in specific counties within the state of Oklahoma. Students who participate in the Epic Tulsa area Spelling Bee must live in other specific counties within the state of Oklahoma. Please look at THIS MAP to ensure your student is registered for the appropriate Epic Spelling Bee according to where you currently live.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What happens if my student misses the first word in the competition?

• Unfortunately, even if a student misses the first word in their round, they will be eliminated from the competition.

2 . Will there be any words given during the competition that aren’t on the grade-level study list?

• Yes! The study lists are meant to be a starting point and do not contain every word that will be given during the competition. The WORD CLUB app is a great way to take your Spelling Bee study sessions to the next level.

Parents, please register yourself and each of your Epic students. This enables the school and the participating location to staff and plan appropriately. Our locations do have a maximum capacity for groups. Therefore, we ask that when registering your students, you only register Epic-enrolled students so that the spots are filled by our students.
