What is the UIL?
The UIL is an opportunity for students to take what they have learned from the classroom and apply it in a competitive but friendly academic environment. The goals of the UIL are as follows:
bring excitement to learning
work with other students in a competitive atmosphere
achieve mastery of essential knowledge and skill
test students' skills and knowledge
experience the satisfaction of a successful and rewarding performance
achieve academic excellence and recognition
What are the contests that students can participate in?
At Justin Elementary, students have participated in the following:
Number Sense (grades 4-5)
Oral Reading (grades 3-5)
Spelling (grades 3-5)
Creative Writing ( grade 2)
Storytelling (grades 2-3)
Ready Writing (grades 3-5)
Dictionary Skills (grade 5)
Maps, Graphs, & Charts (grades 4-5)
When will UIL begin and when is the competition?
Due to the limit of entrants allowed, tryouts are usually held in late fall. Once tryouts are held, practices are once a week, and usually begin after Christmas. UIL is generally scheduled towards the end of March/early April.
We are always looking for parents to help coach events!
