The Class of 2008 Sees News Rules
This year, the state’s new graduation requirements become “real” as students in Seattle schools in the class of 2008 receive the results of their first attempt at the 10th-grade Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL). Passing the 10th-grade WASL will be the avenue most students take to earn the Certificate of Academic Achievement, one of the four new statewide graduation requirements. (Students in special education programs may participate in alternate assessments and earn a Certificate of Individual Achievement.)
The Seattle school district believes every student can learn and demonstrate the skills and knowledge tested on the WASL. While many students will be successful on all three sections of the test on their first try, some students will not meet standard in one or more sections. There is help available for all students in Seattle schools to receive the skills needed not only to pass the WASL but also further their learning in and after high school.
All Seattle high schools have developed plans to assist students in meeting WASL standards. These include adding a 7th period, tutoring in math and literacy and in class tutors. The Seattle school district has also committed to providing each high school with a building-based manager and additional instructional coaching services. Students at Seattle schools may also take advantage of school year credit retrieval programs, Evening School, Contract Learning, and the Digital Learning Commons. Parents can contact their local Seattle school for more information about these programs.
All students in the classes of 2006, 2007 and 2008 in Seattle schools who took the 10th-grade WASL will receive an Individual Score Report with a final and accurate score for every WASL subject they took. These reports will be generated by Pearson Educational Measurement, the testing company, and sent to Seattle school districts for distribution. (Students in the class of 2009 — this year’s ninth-graders — who took the 10th-grade WASL will get their results in late August/early September.)
Each score report will show a Seattle school student’s performance on the reading, writing and math WASLs. Science results will be included in a second score report scheduled for late August/early September.
Some Seattle school students, however, won’t receive any score report in June. Students in special education programs who used the two Washington Alternate Assessment System (WAAS) options, the developmentally appropriate WASL (DAW) or the portfolio assessment, to measure their progress will not have their work scored until the summer. Results will be available for these Seattle school students by late August/early September.
Because of the high interest in student results, OSPI will work hard after receiving the initial score report from the testing company to provide as much accurate information to the public as quickly as possible. By late summer, OSPI will share a comprehensive look at all 10th-grade WASL data after the science WASL and the WAAS DAW and Portfolio have been scored and after districts have had the opportunity to verify student data files. All of these efforts will help Seattle schools determine the strengths and weaknesses of areas students in the various core subject areas.

seattle parenting classes Questions
Which of these potential careers would be the most profitable?
I’m 24 years old and getting to that point in my life where I’m really started to feel worried about not having any degree-certified skills in anything. I’ve been working for my parents since I was 16 and making decent money from that, but I want to create my own success in this world and not just take over from them when they retire. Computers are a main interest of mine (designing websites, creating images & animations) and drawing. I never cared for anything else as a profession, but then I haven’t really taken the time to consider anything else, either. I’ve already started classes at the Art Institute of Seattle, pursuing Graphic Design, but a horrible thing about me is I’m never sure of my decisions. I’m so afraid of making a mistake and wasting a bunch of time that I don’t feel is expendable. Is a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design an asset in the world today or should I have gone with Computer Programming? (I know it has alot to do with the quality of your portfolio, but..)
Well coming from my own experience, you sound a bit like me, I was always fascinated with art and graphics, but had a fascination for programming (for some reason… thanks alot Dad) but I think he was just trying to give me an idea of where to go.
I’d put those 2 things together and go for a program/course in web design or animation, that way you can do them both!
Graphic Design can be rewarding, but you should do what you feel is right. If you do go into web design, you should go into a ‘niche’ market — there are a lot of web designers out there, and you need to stand out from the crowd. Go into flash animation or another technology, and explore CGI and animation.
Taking my 4 year old on a plane for the first time how do i keep him occupied and content?
I am going to my parents house for Thanksgiving and i am taking my 4 year old son with me of course Were leaving Friday and staying till next Sunday well my parents bought me first class tickets because i am flying From Florida to Seattle Was. Well this will be my son’s first plane ride and my husband can’t come till next Tuesday because that’s when he gets off work. Well anyways my son has NEVER thrown a tantrum and he is just a very chill kid and when he gets moody it doesn’t last long and its normally because he is tired or hungry or irritable. Any ideas on how i can keep him occupied and content on the flight would be wonderful thanks.
He will be so thrilled to be flying it won’t be an issue. There will be things to look at out the window and meals/snack/drink service then the fun of going to the bathroom. The flight probably isn’t long enough for him to get bored.
