Additional State Graduation Requirements Our state graduation requirements are designed to ensure students have a solid foundation of English language arts, math, and science skills, no matter the path they choose after high school. We encourage families to meet regularly with their school counselors to ensure their student is on track for graduation. To be eligible to graduate in Washington, high school students must: pass specific state exams, earn all required state and local credits, and successfully complete a High School and Beyond Plan. The assessment requirements are as follows:

Class of 2019-2020: Students must pass a 10th grade level state exam in English Language Arts and mathematics, or approved alternatives.

Class of 2021 and beyond: Students must pass 10th grade level state exam in English Language Arts and mathematics or state approved alternatives and students must pass the 11th grade science exam, or state-approved alternatives.

NOTE: Graduating class is determined when a student first enters ninth grade. For more information, speak to your counselor or visit: www.k12.wa.us/GraduationRequirements.

State-Approved CAA Alternatives for SBA English language arts & Math 1. ACT or SAT: Students may submit test results from the ACT or SAT if the SBA/EOC test has been taken at least once. A score verification form is required—please see your counselor. Minimum Scores:

POST HIGH SCHOOL OPTIONS The selection of appropriate high school courses is very important in preparing for the entrance into post-secondary education and the world of work. The following are entrance requirements and summaries of post-secondary education options: Apprenticeship Apprentices spend part of their time in classroom settings and part of the time on the job learning a trade while earning a living wage. The number of available apprenticeships is set by industry demand, and is quite competitive. You must be at least 17 years old, physically capable of doing work, and have a high school diploma or GED. Contact the joint Apprenticeship Training Committee or Union representing the trade for requirements. Military Military service provides training in a wide range of fields as well as money for college. You must be at least 17 years old (with your parent’s/guardian’s permission), meet physical fitness requirements, and achieve qualifying scores on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test. See your recruiter for specifics. Vocational/Technical School Technical schools offer career-specific education and training. Many offer two-year Associate of Applied Science Degrees as well as occupational certificates that can take six to eighteen months to complete. To apply you must be age 18 and a high school graduate; or have applied for admission through Running Start; or age 16 and not currently enrolled in high school or have permission from sending high school. Community College Community college transfer programs allow students to complete the first two years of college in preparation for transfer to a four-year university. Community colleges also offer a two-year Associate Degree as well as career- focused certificates. You must submit an application and take the COMPASS test/Accuplacer for placement in English and math or you may have a qualifying score on the SBA ELA or Math for placement. Four-Year College or University The decision to attend a four-year college or university should be made as early as possible. Many four-year universities and/or colleges require a high school diploma or a GED. You also must have completed the minimum high school core requirements as determined by the college or university. These requirements may vary depending on the school. You must submit an application, transcript and SAT or ACT scores. Additionally, many schools require an essay or personal statement. The following represent the minimum entrance requirements for public four-year colleges and universities in Washington State. Students are encouraged to take math, science, English and world language beyond the minimum entrance requirements to make your curriculum as rigorous as possible throughout your four years.

College entrance requirements vary from one college to another. In addition to meeting minimum course studies, your admission to a four-year college will be based upon many factors, including, but not limited to, cumulative GPA, test scores from either the ACT or SAT, and essays. Additionally, some highly selective colleges may require the SAT Subject Tests. Please consult your counselor for further information regarding the college application process and for help to discern minimum entrance requirements for the colleges you are interested in attending.

NCAA Eligibility Student athletes planning to participate in NCAA Division I or Division II college/university athletics should register with the NCAA by the end of their junior year. Students should also discuss academic eligibility requirements with their counselor. The NCAA Athletic Eligibility Center does not accept credit earned in middle school coursework. Additionally, the NCAA has very specific requirements with regard to non-traditional courses. It is the responsibility of the student athlete and parent to review this information prior to enrolling in a non-traditional course. Application and fee information is available at www.ncaa.org. For more information, see your counselor! COLLEGE CREDIT OPTIONS IN HIGH SCHOOL You are expected to make course decisions keeping in mind graduation requirements, your interests, and your educational goals for after high school. College credit options are available in both core academic and career and technical courses in all of our high schools. The following educational opportunities are provided to Edmonds School District students to meet individual academic needs: Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) Courses At the freshman and sophomore levels, you may participate in honors courses which will prepare you for more challenging learning opportunities as a junior and senior. Advanced Placement courses follow a set curriculum taught at the college level. Colleges may award college credit based upon successful completion (as determined by the individual college or university) of Advanced Placement exams taken at the conclusion of the course. Students enrolled in AP courses have the opportunity to earn an Academic Honors Scholar Diploma. For information on courses and other requirements needed to earn an Academic Honors Scholar diploma, see your counselor. The International Baccalaureate (IB) Program at EWHS The IB Program at Edmonds-Woodway High School is currently available to district students who have previously qualified for highly capable programs or who live in the Edmonds-Woodway High School service area. IB offers a strong liberal arts curriculum incorporating humanities, mathematics, and the sciences. Colleges may award college credit based upon successful completion of IB courses and exams. If you are an EWHS resident family, you may take as many (or as few) IB classes as you are comfortable taking. If EWHS is not your home school, you must stay in at least four (4) honors classes maintain a full Honors course load during Grades 9 and 10, and then work to complete the full-IB diploma during grades 11 and 12 to maintain your transfer status. Students enrolled in IB courses have the opportunity to earn an IB diploma. For information on required courses and credits in order to earn an IB diploma, contact a counselor or the IB coordinator. College in the High School (CHS) College in the High School (CHS) is a program which allows students to receive college credit and high school credit through college-level courses taken at their high school. These courses offer college credit at a significantly reduced tuition rate, and provide students with a college transcript reflecting these courses upon graduation from high school. Check with your high school counselor to find which courses are offered for CHS credit. You should also contact the colleges you are interested in to verify that College in the High School credits will be accepted. These courses will start a student’s college transcript and GPA. Tech Prep (TP) Tech Prep is a partnership between high schools and community colleges to provide high school students the opportunity to earn college credit in addition to high school credit in qualifying Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses provided at their high school. Tech Prep college credits earned in CTE courses can be applied directly to college certificate and technical degree programs. A grade of a “B” or better is required to earn college credit. For more information about Career and Technical Education programs and courses, refer to the appropriate section in your course catalog or visit http://www.cte.edmonds.wednet.edu/CollegePlanning. Running Start The Running Start Program in Washington State provides the opportunity for eligible high school juniors and seniors to attend college-level classes, tuition free. Students will be responsible for purchasing books and supplies, assessment and technology fees, and transportation. To be eligible for Running Start, students must:

http://www.ncaa.org

http://www.cte.edmonds.wednet.edu/CollegePlanning


1. Be a junior or senior. 2. Complete an application for the community college. 3. Pay a fee for the placement test. 4. Score at a designated level on the placement test.

Upon successful completion of college level courses taken through Running Start, students will earn college credit which will also apply toward high school graduation. If you are interested in the Running Start program, see your counselor. These courses will start a student’s college transcript and GPA. SPECIALTY PROGRAM OPTIONS Career and Technical Education (CTE) Intradistrict Programs Edmonds School District students may take advantage of designated Career & Technical courses offered at other Edmonds School District high schools. Students access these programs by splitting their day between their home high school and the high school hosting the CTE Intradistrict program. Transportation is provided to and from the majority of these programs. The following CTE Intradistrict programs are available to students in the Edmonds School District:

Automotive Technology (located at Meadowdale HS)

Applied Engineering and Manufacturing (Located at Lynnwood HS)

Carpentry and Building Construction (located at Edmonds Community College)

Drafting/Architectural Drafting (located at Edmonds-Woodway HS)

Fire Service Technology (Located at Fire District 1 station and training center, Mukilteo)

Healthcare Professions (located at Meadowdale HS) For information about accessing these programs, see your school counselor or visit the CTE website at http://www.cte.edmonds.wednet.edu/home Sno-Isle Skills Center Juniors and seniors have the option of taking vocational training courses through the Sno-Isle Skills Center, located in Everett. Bus transportation is provided. Students generally attend Sno-Isle for half of the school day and take regular classes at their home high school the other half. Courses at Sno-Isle prepare students for direct entry into the workplace after high school. Scriber Lake High School Scriber Lake High School (SLHS) is one of the options for high school in the Edmonds School District. SLHS benefits students who prefer a smaller, more community-based program. Scriber Lake has about 250 students in grades 9-12 and an experienced staff that works closely with students and families. SLHS is a school of choice, which means students must apply and be accepted. The school has gained international recognition for their personal approach towards students, and for its mission to “ensure all students become successful by helping them identify, develop, and maximize their strengths, skills, and talents.” SLHS students receive the same diploma and have the same class and testing requirements as students at all other high schools. While SLHS takes a unique and personal approach to schooling, it is not an alternative high school. Scriber Lake is a regular, albeit smaller high school. Some students qualify to work towards their diploma through a mastery-based program offered on campus and can retrieve credit for classes they’ve taken but not passed in the past. Scriber Lake offers an array of services and supports on campus in addition to its regular program. Students can participate in athletics and music at their home high schools and also participate in all the other partnerships as other students in the district do: i.e. Sno-Isle, Intra-District programs, Running Start, etc. Please visit the ‘About Us’ portion of the school’s website to learn more about Scriber Lake. There are informational videos and articles about the school’s programs also available on its website. The first step in the process is to attend an Information Meeting on the Woodway Campus – 23200 100th Ave W, Edmonds, WA 98020—which are held the first Wednesday night of the month and are published in the district calendar. Edmonds eLearning Academy Edmonds eLearning Academy is a school district funded online school that offers students the option to take classes in a self-paced online environment. Classes are free if they are one of the student’s six period courses. There is a tuition fee for a 7th period course. All student course work is available via the Internet. No special equipment is needed to

http://slhs.edmonds.wednet.edu/

http://elearning.edmonds.wednet.edu/


participate other than access to a computer and a good internet connection. Classes are both trimester-based (for full time students) and semester-based. A student is expected to complete their course within the trimester or semester in which they are enrolled.

Edmonds eLearning Academy features a mastery-based program in which students can demonstrate prior knowledge in a subject area. Students can take credit recovery courses with a pre-test and can successfully test out of sections and work on those sections that they have not previously mastered. This works particularly well for credit recovery classes in which the student has previously taken the class but failed to earn credit. Students can work through more than one course in a semester if they are motivated to complete their credits. Initial Credit courses are for students take a course for the first time. The eLearning Academy offers all course offerings of a comprehensive high school including CTE and World Languages. It also offer both semesters of a course (for example U.S. History S1 and S2) throughout the school year. The eLearning Academy is scheduled to have NCAA-approved courses for student athletes wishing to be a part of the 2017-18 school year. However, it is the responsibility of the student athlete and parent/guardian to research the acceptability of credits with any perspective college for which the student may be attempting to enroll. The enrollment process:

1. Complete an online application 2. Meet with your counselor to fill out a Counselor Enrollment Form 3. Attend the next steps at the Edmonds eLearning Academy

Students have access to computers and certificated teachers Monday through Thursday between the hours of 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM at the College Place Middle School campus (7501 208th Street SW, Lynnwood, WA). This drop-in lab is used by students to get face-to-face help from a teacher, meet and work with other online students, and discuss issues they are having with their courses with staff. Online classes provide yet another option for students to be successful. However, just as every school or program is not a good fit for every student, the same is true for online classes. Online students should possess the following skills or attributes:

1. Desire/Willingness to take classes online 2. Ready access to the Internet, with a home computer 3. Basic Internet and computer skills (navigate the Internet, email, copy and paste, save a file, use a word processor) 4. Willingness to communicate with teacher(s) over email 5. Ability to be self-motivated 6. Possess good time management skills

Students interested in eLearning should talk to their counselor.

Edmonds Community College Edmonds Career Access Program (EdCAP) EdCAP is a high school completion program designed for students who are credit deficient and aged 16 to 21. The program is held on the Edmonds Community College campus, and provides a great opportunity for young adults to earn a high school diploma in a college environment. EdCAP students also have the option to explore classes that will start them toward one of our many degrees and/or certificates while earning their high school diploma. Key components of EdCAP include:

FREE tuition and books.

EdCAP college connections and career classes.

Case management and advising support.

Transition support. Students are encouraged to apply early, as the enrollment process is time-sensitive. Eligibility is dependent on credit deficiency (significantly behind in credit) or by recommendation for enrollment by district-approved school personnel or other designated professionals. If students do not meet the eligibility requirements, our team of advisers refer


students to other programs at Edmonds CC or in the community that may better meet their needs. Community Based / Outside Credits/Correspondence Classes The maximum number of credits that can be earned toward graduation by community based, correspondence, or outside credits while a student is enrolled in high school is three (3) unless the principal deems it is in the best interest of the individual to accept additional credits. Specific options for credits in the community are available in the high school counseling office/career center. A proposal for outside credit must be submitted before the student begins the experience. Application and registration for all options in this category are the responsibility of the individual student. In addition, any fees associated with those options are to be assumed by the student. Prior written approval, by your counselor, of course selection is required including the completion of an application form. Official transcripts, diplomas, or letter of completion must be filed with the school by the student when the experience is completed.

Credit will be granted for approved outside credit and placed on the official high school transcript. The School/District shall not, in any way, be responsible for determining if an outside course meets a specific college requirement, an NCAA requirement or is accepted by agencies who grant scholarships. Parents and students are solely responsible for vetting these courses and the resulting consequences.

Outside Physical Education and Music Activities Utilizing the following standards, credit may be accepted for planned learning experiences not conducted on an Edmonds School District high school campus, or conducted outside the Edmonds School District high school day, or instructed by a person who is not an Edmonds School District employee. Activities will reflect the same parameters as regular high school coursework, including: a) Standards

i. Planned activities must equal at least ninety (90) hours for a .5 semester credit. ii. Evaluation of student learning should have student outcomes that demonstrate the proficiency level of

skills and knowledge identified in the course objectives. iii. Courses should have equal rigor as courses in the same subject area in the high school program.

b) Proposals A proposal for approval of credit for varied learning activities shall be submitted prior to the experience, shall be at no additional cost to the district, and shall include at least the following information:

i. The name of the program or planned learning experience and ii. The length of time for which approval is desired; iii. The objective(s) of the program or planned learning experience; iv. Which one or more of the state learning goals and related essential academic v. learning requirements are part of the program or planned learning experience; vi. Content outline of the program and/or major learning activities and instructional materials to be used; vii. Description of how student performances will be assessed; viii. Qualifications of instructional personnel; ix. How, and by whom the student will be supervised; x. A schedule of the duration of the program, including beginning and ending dates; xi. Description of how the content and skill development will be delivered by the instructor; xii. Description of how student performance will be assessed; xiii. Plans for evaluation of program.

c) Requests for credit must receive prior approval from the building principal after consultation with a counselor and departmental staff utilizing Form #P49. d) For outside credit requests for PE, students shall be required to demonstrate proficiency/competency in the knowledge portion of the fitness requirement through the successful completion of an Edmonds School District


classroom-based assessment (CBA). e) In those instances where assessments will be processed by District staff, a non-refundable fee of $30 will be charged. This fee may be waived for students who qualify for free or reduced meals. f) The fee will be used to compensate the certificated staff member responsible for application review and approval verification who will receive one hour of pay for each application at the curriculum development rate upon submission of a work verification form. Expenses will be paid from the credit retrieval account. Transcripts and Grading Progress Reports/Final Grade Reports Final Grade Reports are printed twice per year at the end of each semester. Grades are posted to transcript at the end of each semester. Students who have meal balance fines will have their grades held by the District Food Service Department. Fines can be paid at the District office and report cards picked up there. Retaking a Failed Class and /or Grade Improvement The student, for any /all re-take or grade improvement course(s) must receive prior approval by the counselor and/or administrator or it will not be considered for grade improvement. Approval cannot be granted retroactively. Students who have received an F grade, in a core class, or a grade other than “F” which the student wishes to improve upon, may improve the grade through the following programs: Retake the course on a space available basis at the high school. Retake the course through the Edmonds School District Summer School Program or Edmonds E-Learning

Academy. Please be aware that not all programs may be offering the same courses as those offered in the home high school. If a course is retaken for grade improvement, the course with the higher grade earned is included in the calculation of the student’s GPA. The credits attempted and credits earned of the lower graded course will be reported as 0.00 on the transcript. The credits from repeated courses may only be counted twice if both grades earned in a course are factored into the GPA calculation (e.g., two semesters of the same choir course). Otherwise credits from only one course may be counted. Districts cannot convert letter grades earned in a course to grades/marks not used in the GPA calculation; only the credits attempted and earned should be modified. (See WAC 392-415-055 and WAC 392-415-070) Withdrawal from a Course Students are expected to select their six classes in a serious and responsible manner, as every effort will be made to ensure an individual student is scheduled into their pre-selected classes. Schedule change requests must be made and completed before the start of an upcoming semester. No schedule changes will be made after a semester has begun unless an error in course placement has been made, such as misplacement in math or world language. No appointments for student-initiated schedule changes will be made after the fifth (5th) day of the start of a semester. In extraordinary circumstances a late request may be considered, but after the tenth (10th) day no class may be dropped without adding a failing grade to the permanent transcript. The course title and “F” grade will be entered on the student’s transcript and becomes part of their cumulative GPA. If extenuating circumstances must be considered, an appeal may be made to the appropriate administrator. Students cannot drop a course, even when accepting a failing grade for the course, unless another appropriate course is available to replace it in the schedule. Pass/No Credit Option Seniors may elect to take any two classes not required for graduation (total of 1.0 credit) per semester on a Pass/No Credit (P/NC) basis. This policy is intended to encourage seniors to take more challenging courses without jeopardizing grade point average. The Pass/No Credit option will be offered up to the end of the first six weeks of each semester. Pass/No Credit grades are not included in GPA or honor roll designation.


High School Level Courses Taken Prior To 9th Grade If requested, using form P-174, by the student and his or her family, a student who has completed high school courses before attending high school shall be given high school credit which shall be applied to fulfilling high school graduation requirements if: a. The course was taken with high school students, if the academic level of the course exceeds the requirements for seventh and eighth grade classes, and the student has successfully passed by completing the same course requirements and examinations as the high school students enrolled in the class; or b. The academic level of the course exceeds the requirements for seventh and eighth grade classes and the course would qualify for high school credit because the course is similar or equivalent to a course offered at a high school in the district as determined by the school district Board of Directors. All students who complete high school credit courses are eligible to have those grades and credits placed on their high school transcript. A request can be made to add the credit and grade at any time up to the point of the student's junior year credit review with his/her counselor. Students must declare their choice on form P-174 if they decide to apply their course to their high school transcript. Please note that once the grades are added to the high school transcript, the grade and credit cannot be removed and will permanently be included in the computation of the student's grade point average.


EQUIVALENCY CREDITS Most graduation course requirements must be met by successfully completing specified courses; however, some requirements may be met by successfully completing equivalency courses. The following are approved high school equivalency courses that may be used to meet more than one graduation requirement. While these equivalencies will meet district graduation requirements, they may not satisfy college admission requirements in all cases. Students should check with individual colleges for clarification regarding the use of particular equivalency courses. For more information, visit the district Equivalency Course website. APPROVED COURSE EQUIVALENCIES The following is a list of the approved high school equivalency courses that may be used to meet the district's graduation requirements. Colleges and universities are not obligated to recognize these equivalencies to meet entrance requirements. Each of these courses automatically meet one of the graduation requirements listed for a course based on a student's particular credit needs. A student can request to have an equivalency course satisfy two graduation requirements listed for the course by completing and submitting an Equivalency Request Form to the school counseling office. It is important to understand that while an equivalency course may satisfy more than one graduation requirement, no course can be worth more than the total amount of credit it has been assigned.

Sno-Isle TECH Skills Center, located near Paine Field in Everett, is a cooperative effort of 14 local school districts. The purpose of each program is to provide you with skills that will prepare you for entry-level jobs after graduation from high school or for related post high school education or training. Many students choose to obtain skill training so that they can earn more efficiently, as well as accrue experience hours, while they work their way through a four year university in the field of their choice. For example a registered Dental Assistant may earn $12 - $15/hour while pursuing a degree to become a dentist or orthodontist. That can be really helpful with today’s rising tuition costs!

All occupations are organized into six broad clusters or “pathways” based on tasks that are performed

on the job. As students become more knowledgeable about themselves, they will tend to be more “comfortable” in one or two of the pathways. All Sno-Isle programs are found in one or more of the six pathways.

Students interested in attending Sno-Isle should have a good attendance record at their sending high school and should give careful consideration to their level of interest in making a commitment to a particular program. This is especially important because the programs are at least year in length. Some programs extend the offer to return for a second year, to those students who consistently demonstrate leadership, have excellent attendance, and are motivated to succeed.

Application to Sno-Isle is made in the early spring of each year for entrance into fall classes. Application forms are available in January on the website at www.snoisletech.com. Sno-Isle works with your counselors to obtain your transcript and other records when you apply. Personal interviews for students submitting applications will be conducted at Sno-Isle in March, and students are notified of their selection later in the spring.

There are two sessions each day at Sno-Isle. The first session is from 7:55 to 10:25 each morning, and the students then return to their regular high school to attend afternoon classes. The second session is from 11:10 to 1:40

VETERINARY ASSISTING 11 -12 1 year Career Pathways: Science, Social Science Pre-Requisite: Successful completion of Biology & Health This program is ideal for students interested in an animal-related ca-reer. Entry-level skills needed to


become veterinary assistants and grooming assistants are taught as well as a thorough investigation of other careers available in the field. Students learn breed identification, Anatomy and Physiology, detection of illness, sanitation, and major illnesses. Surgical assisting and grooming skills are learned in a realistic setting on campus that models job site environments found in industry. Students gain experience through practical han-dling of dogs, cats, and horses at the school and on internships in local businesses during spring quar-ter. Text work and class assign-ments are challenging due to the nature of the topics covered throughout the program. Basic math skills are utilized often in class. The internship portion dur-ing spring quarter requires personal transportation to a local business site. Keys to Success - Supportive High School classes are Biology, Math, and Animal Science. Good spelling and proper grammar usage will promote success in this career area. The reading level of our text is 10th through 12th grade. It is im-portant for students to have good hand-eye coordination, good com-munication skills, and an ability to work as a team member and demonstrate a positive attitude. This course requires serious com-mitment to learning challenging material. WELDING/METAL FABRICATION 11–12 1 year Career Pathways: Technical, Arts This program trains students in blueprint reading, shop math, lay-out and fit-up, and fabrication of a wide variety of projects. This pro-gram works to train students in the basic entry-level skills of oxy-acetylene welding and cutting (hand and machine), shielded metal arc welding, gas metal and flux cored arc welding, gas tungsten arc

welding, and many other areas. Advanced students will also be able to work on a CNC Plasma cutting table, cutting out such items as art forms, signage and parts. Students do not need to have previous weld-ing training to be accepted in this program. Applicants should have the following skills and abilities: good attendance, basic math skills, safe work habits, and desire to work hard. Numerous jobs are available in the shipyards and weld-ing shops. Apprentices are needed in sheet metal, iron working, pipe-fitting, and boiler making. One of the most efficient and economical ways to join metal is to weld it. Fabrication is the process of mak-ing things out of metal according to blueprints, drawings and sketch-es. Work experience credit and Washington State Welder Certifica-tion testing are available to graduat-ing seniors in their final semester. This program will give you a strong foundation of welding safety, types, careers and much more! College credits may also be earned through Everett Community College and Lake Washington Technical Col-lege. Keys to Success – Strong work ethic, positive attitude, ability to follow and understand written and verbal instructions, basic math skills, ability to be self-directed and work independently and as a team member.

Dual Credit Opportunities Sno-Isle students may have an op-portunity to earn free college credit at the same time they are earning high school credit. Students may earn up to 36 credits depending upon the program. Ask your coun-selor or Sno-Isle Instructor for details.
