Students who wish to advance their studies (not recover
credits) 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.

Online registration (using your District username and password) is available

* The Washington
State History exam is written at the 7th grade level. A waiver will be awarded
for successful completion of this exam. Grades will not be awarded, nor
will high school credit be given. There is no expectation for the student
to enroll in the next course in the curriculum series.
