A) Any required textbooks, materials, or lab supplies that are not available at the school are the student's responsibility to acquire.

B) Students are limited to 4 credits toward graduation requirements through a WA State outside accredited program or online learning course, maximum of 2 credits in a school year and no more than 50% of any subject area requirement.

C) Once approved, students will be enrolled in the course for the term indicated.

D) Students will receive the actual course grade earned (A-F) on their transcript.

F) It is the student's responsibility to verify if a course meets NCAA and college admissions requirements. Not all providers are NCAA approved.

G) For courses taken more than once to improve a grade, per WAC 392-415-055 and WAC 392-415-070, all grades will remain on the transcript, but the student's GPA may be calculated using only the highest grade. See Student Handbook for more information on grade improvement.

H) In the event a student drops a course during the fall or spring term, the grade for the course is entered as follows:  i. Courses dropped on or prior to the 10th day of the course do not appear on a student's academic record. ii. Courses dropped between the 11th day and the 20th day (inclusive) of the course appear as a 'W' on the student's academic record.  iii. Courses dropped on or after the 21st day of the course appear as an 'F' on the student's academic record.

P) IEP At a Glance or 504 Plans will be shared with the online provider.

Alternative Learning Experience Parental Statement of Understanding
In accordance with the Alternative Learning Experience Implementation Standards under WAC 392-121-182, prior to enrollment the student’s parent(s) or guardian shall be provided with, and sign, documentation attesting to understanding the difference between HomeBased Instruction (homeschooling), Private School, and enrollment in a public school Alternative Learning Experience (ALE). Students are considered one or the other.

Summary Descriptions

Home-Based Instruction
• Is provided by the parent or guardian as authorized under RCW 28A.200 and 28A.225.010.
• Parent has filed an annual Declaration of Intent with the district.
• Students are neither enrolled nor eligible for graduation through a public high school unless they meet all district and state graduation requirements.
• Students are not subject to the rules and regulations governing public school, including course, graduation, and assessment requirements.
• The public school is under no obligation to provide instruction or instructional materials, or to otherwise supervise the
student’s education.

Private School
• Students are enrolled in an approved private school in the State of Washington.
• Students are not subject to the rules and regulations governing public school, including course, graduation, and assessment requirements.

Private School or Home-Based Instruction students may have access to ancillary services, and may enroll in a public school course on a part-time basis (less than full-time) where space is available. Students are responsible for maintaining acceptable attendance and for meeting the course and school requirements for courses in which they are enrolled. They maintain their Home-Based Instruction or Private School student status.

Alternative Learning Experience Program
• Is authorized under WAC 392-121-182 and District Regulation 2255.
• Students are enrolled in public education.
• Students are subject to the rules and regulations governing public schools, including course, graduation, and assessment requirements for all portions of the ALE.
• Instructional materials used for coursework meet district standards.
• As described in 2255P, learning experiences are:
• Supervised, monitored, assessed, and evaluated by certificated staff (weekly contact and monthly review).
• Designed learning experiences planned together with student, parent and teacher.
• Provided via a Written Student Learning Plan.
• Provided in whole, or part, outside the regular classroom.

Parental Certification:
I have read the summary description of home-based instructions and alternative learning experience and I understand the difference between home-based instruction and the public school alternative learning experience program in which my child is enrolling. I understand that I must meet applicable state, district, school and course requirements.
