Students who wish to advance (not recover credits) their studies by challenging certain high school
courses may do so by following the guidelines below:
- Exams for Biology, Integrated Math 1, Integrated Math 2, Modern World History and Washington State History* will be given
once a year in June at a central district site.
- A series of performance tasks will be available for students to challenge English 9 and English 10. These will require more than a day to complete, and will have separate guidelines for completion.
-
To
register for the exams and/or performance tasks, log into the
web site below with your District network user name and
password. On-line
registration opens in mid-April for June exams.
Contact Instructional
Services at 360 604 4159 with questions. Current 8th-11th
graders may participate in this process. (Eighth graders may
select English 9, Integrated Math 1 and 2, Biology and
Washington State History*.)
-
Grades will be awarded to students who pass
the exams or performance tasks with marks of B- or above. The
grades will be placed on the student transcript at the student's
request. Grades of B- through A must be earned in order to
receive credit for a challenged course. A lesser grade will not
result in credit, nor will it be placed on the transcript.
