Secondary students are encouraged to take responsibility for securing their “data” and learning to make this a lifelong skill both at school and outside school. Data in this case refers to the documents and material they generate and store on the district network, GoogleApps, and other storage devices.

The key to any type of security is password protection, including the ability to create an effective password and to keep that password private. The following presentation will explain how to do this.

The College Bound Scholarship provides hope and incentive for students and families who otherwise might not consider college as an option because of its cost.

The amount of the scholarship will be based on tuition rates at Washington public colleges and universities and will cover the amount of tuition and fees (plus $500 for books) not covered by other state financial aid awards.

Low-income 7th and 8th grade students who sign a pledge by June 30 of their 8th grade year are eligible. Students promise to graduate from high school, demonstrate good citizenship, and seek admission to a college or university. Family income will be re-checked and college admission confirmed after the student graduates from high school.
