***************************************************************************
Academic UIL competition will begin on Tuesday, Sept. 8th.
Academic UIL information will be updated weekly on Wednesdays for
the next week's agenda/topics/spelling words etc. (The spelling
words should be up on this sight soon so that if your child loses
the list given to him/her they'll still have something to
reference.)
It is permissable for your child to try all 4 grade level events
knowing that he/she may compete in Ready Writing and ONLY 1 other
event.
Please have your student get the next UIL update off of the web so
that he/she may better prepare for each specific event.
***************************************************************************
UIL is
the governing body for all athletic competitions in the state of
Texas as well as all music contests and all ACADEMIC competitions.
GISD previously competed in the Academic contests only at the high
school level. The success of the elementary pilot program at various
GISD schools in 2006-2007 helped to expand the program to all three
middle schools. With the support of the PTA, The After School Action
Program, and GeorgetownISD this program has had continued success.
UIL Club
is an excellent way to prepare our students for district
competition. This program is offered to ALL 6th, 7th
and 8th graders this year.
There
is no charge for participation in the UIL. Students who wish to
participate can choose from one of the following categories.
1.
Spelling-
improves your vocabulary
2.
Ready
Writing- learn how to write an essay
3.
Number
Sense-perform quick math calculations
4.
Oral
Reading-gain excellent speaking skills
This is an
excellent opportunity for your child to be further challenged and be
included in something they can participate in and compete with
students in other districts through high school.
