    Edmonds School District Guide to College Admissions 2017—2018 Presented by the Counseling Departments of: Meadowdale High School Edmonds-Woodway High School Lynnwood High School Mountlake Terrace High School Scriber Lake High School Edmonds Heights K-12 Edmonds eLearning To our Students and Parents: This booklet is meant to help you in the important process of deciding your post – secondary educational planning and exploration. What we present here will help you to begin the clarification process for choosing a college or university. Please take the time to talk as a family and to use the items listed here as tools for good conversation, not something that hinders discussion. We ask students and parents to realize that there is more than one “perfect school,” in fact there are many. A school should be one that will bring both happiness and a meaningful education to your student. Focus on finding the right school – one that will help you find the “intersection of your heart and your abilities.” By doing so, you will find a good match to meet your educational goals as well as experience tremendous personal growth. What is most important is the experience and opportunities available to you as a student as well as your openness to accepting them once you are on campus. Be open to explore the infinite possibilities in both selecting a college as well as areas of study. The name of a college will never replace the success that comes from hard work, seizing opportunities and enjoyment of your college years. These are the things that matter.

By Ruth Frickle, Highline Community College arlier in the school year our registrar, Kate Bligh, brought an aca- demic policy to the attention of the Faculty Senate, noting a recent uptick in the number of students availing themselves of the option E provided by the policy. The policy in question was our ―Statute of Limitations on Grades‖; the name alone indicated a need for review. The Senate decided to review the language and to compare our policy to similar policies at other schools.
