Check In Procedures
  • Competitive Event Check-in will be via text message on the morning of competition. The advisor listed as the primary advisor in the national FCCLA portal should expect a text message from the Lead Consultant(s) in all events their students are entered in during the designated time listed on the event schedules. Any changes to the primary advisor or cell phone number must be made by each conference's substitution deadline. Changes made after that time will not be accepted.

  • Advisors have until 15 minutes prior to the first team of the day’s event start time to respond and confirm entries without penalty.

  • If advisors respond after 15 minutes prior to the first team of the day’s event start time but before the event begins, they are considered a late check-in and must pay a $25 late check-in fee. Payment must be made in event headquarters by 5:00 p.m. that day.

  • If advisors do not respond or if they respond after the first team of the day’s event start time, the entry is considered a no-show and will be unable to compete.

Volunteer Policy
Based on the decision made by the Texas FCCLA Board of Directors and due to a shortage of volunteers, each Texas FCCLA chapter is required to provide (at minimum) one adult to serve as a conference volunteer during one day of the region and state conference. The volunteer can be the chapter advisor to serve as a Lead Consultant or another adult (not a chapter advisor) to serve as an Evaluator. This applies for all Region Leadership Conferences and the State Leadership Conference. Chapters who do not provide a conference volunteer or have a volunteer not show will be charged a fee of $150 and will be unable to participate with Texas FCCLA until paid. Region volunteer names are due December 1st. State volunteer names are due March 10th.
