- We eagerly welcome judges with all levels of experience. No experience is required, and training is provided. To the greatest extent possible, we group new judges with experienced judges. Our youngest competitors are in grade 6.

- Judges are asked to identify potential conflicts of interest, including their own students/neighbors/children/etc. so that placements can be made accordingly.
As you may know, dozens of Central Bucks students participate in this event each year, many spending months working on projects. Judging is the heartbeat of the process, a time when students get practice in explaining their work and interacting with

ANNOUNCMENT FROM CBSD - CHANGES to DISTRICT CALENDAR
Please note message from CBSD for updates on school calendar based on weather cancellations.
• The K-12 half day that was scheduled for Wednesday, January 24 will now become a full day of school for all. This allows our secondary schools to make up some time lost to snow days in the first semester. The half-day will be moved to Friday, January 26, for all students grades K-12. Our teaching staff will use that afternoon for professional development. Again, we apologize for the confusion. This decision was made in consultation with our principals and administrators.
• At this time, we are not currently planning to make an additional adjustment to spring break based on today’s snow day. However, as you may be aware, PA school code requires that school districts must hold 180 days of school or an equivalent number of hours. If we end up with additional snow days we may need to make further adjustments to our calendar.
