very well organized, thank you.
As always, I look forward to UIL competition every year!!! Got 3 winners this year!!!
Excellent organization,everything ran smoothly. Thank you for all of your hard work and making it a great experience for the students and the teachers.
It was good. We do need more study materials for Dictionary Skills aside from the practice tests.
Best organized of days. Ran efficiently and was done quickly.
Another Great Year. I liked the way the school had Big Colorful Posters with information as to where sessions were being held.
Just a suggestion so that coaches are not waiting around for judging assignments-- When students are checked in at speaking/oral event, please have the coaches assigment at the same table. That way we do not waste time re-grouping in the library and we make sure all coaches are serving as judges if needed. If we coached, then we probably do not need to be trained and already know what to look for. Thanks!
Would have been nice to have some of the info in writing.
The class is best suited for judges without experience.
I love the opportunities that UIL provides for student learning. Will continue to participate in the future.
I think this meet went much smoother than it has in the past!
It is always a pleasure to see what amazing things the students can so.
Need clearer signage to help speaking judges. Need escorts to assist all who come to volunteer to navigate event.
Editorial writing contest began at 8:00 p.m. rather than 6:15.
Need to create written directions in regards to substituting students in events.
everyone there were helpful and did a tremendous job

Need to clarify bus drop off on Friday Make clear that no parents are allowed Better signage Having extra help crucial
I suggest we have the same registration process on friday as on saturday. In addition if we can have radios on day of event would be helpful. Possibly add a runner from front door to cafeteria would be beneficial. Since parents can not come in to pick up students we were needed to go back and forth. Also coaches were telling parents to go to cafeteria which caused some upset parents. If we had a runner or someone station in cafeteria to notify student parents were here would make alot easier.
Our school was in charge of 5th grade ready writing. Seems that at the time to grade I was the only one there helping with grading. 3rd, 4th, and our "head" ready writing people were all gone.
You might email a copy of the answer key to events like Art Smart and Maps,graphs, and charts to yourself or someone who will be at the meet with access to a computer as backup.
Great first day! All the students were registered to their assigned classroom. Everything was ready (cafeteria was ready, sheets were ready for coaches and students).
Maybe, for next year we can have tables set up in the front to direct traffic and include signs that say parents are not allowed past the front foyer. Also, have two people
I think Friday went very smoothly and everything ran on time. Registration was well set up.
Still needs to be organized in an efficient manner; coaches grading were patient, fortunately.
It was a great first experience for me. I especially enjoyed reading and rating the writings. Awesome!
