2COUNSELING OFFICE INFORMATION
COUNSELING
The focus of the counseling program is to assist with issues that are interfering with academic progress, monitor student
progress to support an on -time graduation and to offer vital information for post -secondary planning. The most comprehensive
tool for this planning is a CAT Track conference.
CAT TRACK CONFERENCE
This scheduled conference is a conversation with a student and parent to discuss options after high school and the steps that
need to be taken to achieve the specified goal. The topics discuss ed are progress toward the high school diploma, career
exploration, college/program admission, required testing, financial aid and scholarships. This conference is best done early in
high school to give time to research all options. Appointments can be made by calling the Counseling Office at 884 -8734.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
The State of Washington sets the graduation requirements for each graduating class. Listed below are the current requirements
for the graduating classes of 2021, 2022 and 2023.

3COUNSELING OFFICE RESOURCES
COURSE WAIVERS
The principal has the latitude to waive credits due to a disability, health condition, homelessness, limited English proficie ncy,
the inability to pay required fees, transferring during the last two years of high school where there are different graduatio n
requirements and other unforeseen barriers such as an emergency, natural disaster, trauma, personal or family crisis that has
directly compromised the student’s ability to learn.
EARLY GRADUATION
Students are encouraged to remain in high school for four years to take advantage of free learning opportunities such as
Advanced Placement and College in the High School courses, Running Start and technical coursework at the NCW Skill Center.
Should an early graduation be considered, a student must have a clear plan that requires completing high school at a faster pace
and proactively petition for early grad status.
HIGH SCHOOL AND BEYOND PLAN
As a career exploration tool, each student will be provided the opportunity to create a High School and Beyond Plan. This pr ocess
involves engaging a student in answering assessment questions that lead to a list of possible career options. Once the initi al
plan is created students are encouraged to re -visit the navigation tool to research and expand to learn more detailed information
about a chosen career. This tool is available to students online all throughout the school year for use at home.
INCOMPLETES
Students will have 10 days after the conclusion of each trimester in which to complete the work necessary to remove the
incomplete mark on the transcript. If the student has not accomplished this step, then the incomplete will automatically con vert
to an “F” at the end of the 10 th day of the trimester.
INDEPENDENT STUDY
To pursue a particular and unique course of study a student can contract with a teacher through an independent study
agreement. The student and teacher meet to discuss and agr ee on the desired learning objectives.
NCAA ELIGIBILITY FOR ATHLETES
The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) is an organization dedicated to providing a pathway to opportunity for
college athletes to participate in Division I, II and III sports . Students must meet academic standards set by the NCAA to compete
in Division I or II sports. Any potential college athlete should plan to take a core -heavy high school academic schedule to plan
ahead for eligibility. Potential athletes can research mo re information and sign up at: eligibiltycenter.org
PASS/FAIL
A student may complete a pass/fail contract for one class per trimester. This agreement between the student and teacher allo ws
a struggling student to remain in a class and strive to earn a pa ssing grade, however, the final grade that is posted on the
transcript will be a “P”. This mark allows a student to receive credit for the course but does not weigh into the GPA.
PETITION TO ADD COURSES TO THE HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT
If requested, a studen t who has completed a course prior to high shall be given high school credit on the transcript if: (1) the
course was taken with high school students, (2) the academic level of the course exceeds the requirements for seventh and eig hth
grade classes, and t he student has successfully passed by completing the same course requirements and examinations as the
high school students enrolled in the class, or (3) the academic level of the course exceeds the requirements for seventh and
eighth grade classes and the course would qualify for high school credit.
P.E. WAIVERS
4A waiver can be issued based on documented need due to physical disability, employment, religious belief, school directed
sport participation or military tactics training.
REPEATING COURSES
A stu dent may repeat a course once the necessary paperwork is completed and on file. A student may: (1) repeat a course to earn
a higher grade and opt to not earn credit for the first attempt - only the second attempt grade will be factored into the GPA or (2 )
repeat a course, earn a higher grade and opt to receive credit for first attempt and second attempt - both grades will be factored
into the GPA. In both situations the first attempt grade will continue to be listed on the transcript.
REQUEST TO WITHDRAW FROM A CLASS
For class withdrawal requests made after the 5 th school day of a trimester a student who experiences extenuating circumstances
may file for a Request to Withdraw. This form will be reviewed by an Appeal Board and a decision will be made to d etermine
the next course of action which could include a: (1) meeting to discuss the Request to Withdraw process, (2) the recommendati on
to access a Pass/Fail contract, (3) withdrawal from the class with a mark of “W” or “F” on the transcript, (4) a recomm endationto
remain in the class and/or (5) a discussion regarding a new placement if a withdrawal is advised
SCHEDULING
During registration week it is vital to become aware of course offerings to insure that they support the chosen post secondar y
plan. The courses in this guide can only be offered if enough students register to fill them. So it is very important to research
and choose wisely so that desired courses will be available during the school year.
SCHEDULE CHANGES
Students and parents must be inten tional about course selection during registration week. Should a schedule change be
necessary, a Schedule Change Request Form must be submitted in writing that includes a parent signature. Completed forms are
to be turned into the EHS Counseling Office no later than 10 school days prior to the beginning of the next trimester. Schedule
changes will be considered if: (1) core classes are missing, (2) the rigor/level is inappropriate, (3) there are too few or t oo many
courses and/or (4) there is a program cha nge.
T.A. POSITIONS
A student may elect to be a T.A. (Teacher Aide) to assist a staff member in carrying out daily school related tasks. Positi ons are
available in the Athletics Office, Counseling Office, Library and Main Office. A student may also cont ract with a classroom
teacher to offer assistance.
TESTING
Depending on the desired post -secondary pathway, a student may be advised to take a qualifying test. For students who are
considering attending a university the PSAT (Pre -SAT), SAT or ACT may be recommended. For a student who would like
additional career exploration or is planning on enlisting in the military the ASVAB test would be suggested. All tests are
coordinated through our building testing coordinator.
WIAA ELIGIBILITY FOR ATHLETES
A student who plans to participate in a school directed sport mu st take a prescribed number of courses and maintain progress
in those courses to meet WIAA (Washington Interscholastic Activities Association) academic requirements to be allowed to
perform in athletic competitions.
Advanced Placement (AP) is a nationally recognized
