Graduation Requirements Alignment
We heard from many stakeholders, counselors, and parents during the August 29 listening session on graduation requirements alignment. You can find the recording here: sbe.wa.gov/alignment.
Didn't get to attend? We now have two additional listening sessions:
At these sessions, you will:
- hear about graduation requirements, and
- 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 will present your feedback to the Board at our upcoming September 13-15 meeting. The session will be recorded and available to the public. Learn more about the recommendations before the session: Video Presentation Primer. We have just released a survey option to get feedback as well (Spanish translation coming soon, please reach out if other translation services are needed).
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.
