The following is the schedule of bees at the 2022 FACCS State Spelling Bee.  Please arrive at least one hour early for your bee.

Please do not contact FACCS for specific information about the State Bee. Your school has ALL of the information you need - please see your school level coordinator. You may wish to view the schedule (above), the Parent Letter (below), and the Spelling Bee Manual (below). 
As well, the words that your child needs to be studying for the State Bee are clearly defined in the cover page of the Master Word List (download below). Actual word lists are ONLY available from your school.

Download the Spelling Bee Manual

The Master Word List is not released on this site. It will be sent via email attachment to each school and home educator upon enrollment. FACCS only provides the list to enrolled schools. Parents need to contact the school for a copy of the word list for their child.

View a copy of the cover of the Master Word List that explains how words are selected for the Regional and State Bees.

Please distribute this Parent Letter to the parents of each 2022 Regional Bee participant. It has key information for them to help their children prepare for the bees.

Download the appropriate file to your computer that corresponds with your region. Open the files in any version of Adobe Reader - type the name of each participating student from your school into the appropriate field - print to your local printer (you may want to print this on special paper). These files are savable to your hard drive.
