Please attend a listening session on Monday, August 29 at 12:00 p.m.

We need your input on our state's graduation requirements! Join Alissa Muller, Director of the Mastery-based Collaborative, and Linda Drake, Director of Career- and College-readiness Initiatives to:

1. hear about graduation requirements, and
2. to give feedback on draft recommendations on how to better align these requirements to the Profile of a Graduate (skills students need to thrive in life after high school).

We want to visit classrooms, and buy you lunch!

But first, we need name suggestions from Washington students for our new Instagram seal. Students can submit their ideas, or educators can do this for them by emailing sbe@k12.wa.us. The student (or class) that wins the final name (state-wide vote, and SBE committee selection) gets: 

• A pizza party for their class (courtesy of our Executive Director)
• A visit to a classroom of their choice from State Board delegates, and the seal of course (whenever timing is not disruptive)
• A feature of your classroom in the State Board's newsletter, and highlights across all official social media channels 
• Bragging rights that you named the official SBE seal

On our visit, we'd love to learn more about what your students are experiencing at school. We can also share about our state's education system and how state policy works. The deadline for our seal's naming contest is September 30. Details can be found here: sbe.wa.gov/seal. Share our posts about this on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and/or LinkedIn.
