Drops: 
Please e-mail jsams@texasfccla.org by Wednesday at noon if you have any entries that are no longer competing so they can be removed from the schedules.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
