From the Principal's Desk
Beginning with the class of 2008, Washington State graduation requirements involve four steps, Credit Requirements, WASL Standards, Culminating Senior Project and a High School and Beyond Plan. The emphasis has moved from work accomplished during a student’s senior year to student growth during four years of high school. The Sumner District is adjusting timelines to better reflect the spirit of the new requirements.
Beginning with this year’s juniors (next year’s seniors) we are establishing a new timeline for the culminating senior project components. This year’s juniors will be able to complete their required 15 hours and learning log during the summer prior to their senior year. A specific pre-approval process will be required for this early start. More information and the timeline will be available in early May and will be shared with our students and parents at that time.
We believe some juniors will be interested in getting an early start on the senior project in order to relieve some of the stress students feel during the second semester of their senior year. Now is a good time for juniors to begin thinking about the focus of their project. Please watch for additional information coming out this spring about the pre-approval option.
Sincerely,
Bill Gaines, Principal
