Students in 2nd, 4th and 5th grades will receive usernames and passwords so they can start practice beginning on October 8. The actual competition will take place on Oct 16 - 17. Participation is voluntary. Students in kindergarten, grade 1 and grade 3 can participate if parents submit a home registration. The link is provided for your convenience.
