“Home of Royal Pride”
Dear Parents As we hit the beginning of our final quarter at LHS, I wanted to spend some time addressing the issue
of required testing and the upcoming Smarter Balanced Assessments (SBA) that our students in
Grades 10 and 11 will be taking in May.
To clarify, the 10th graders will take a State paper and pencil SBA test. It will be on two mornings,
May 19 and 20.The rationale for having our 10th graders take the State Assessment in May is quite
clear—it is the test that will be used to meet the state graduation testing requirement-- all students
must pass tests in English/Language Arts, Math, and Biology. 10th graders will no longer take the
High School Proficiency Exam (HSPE), so taking the new SBA test is absolutely critical for their path
to graduation.
11th graders will be taking the SBA over four mornings from May 19 to May 22, passing this SBA is
critical for any student who has not previously met standard on the HSPE in Reading or Writing and/or
the EOC in Math. For the remaining 11th graders who have already met standard on their state assessments, there is still a district expectation that they will take the SBA in May. There are a few reasons that our District encourages our 11th grade students to take the SBA in May.
1. For students who are considering 2 or 4 year colleges, those who meet the College/Career
Ready cut score on the SBA will be placed in college-level classes with no further placement
testing required. For example, presently students from LHS who attend Edmonds Community
College are placed in English or Math levels on the basis of a test called the Accuplacer, which
more than a few of us have doubts about. Many of our students have been required to take low
level courses because of the difficulty of this test. The SBA will give any college in our State
another look at a LHS student’s ability and another chance to place in a credit bearing course.
2. For parents, your student’s performance on the SBA will show you how well your student is
prepared for his/her future in comparison with students in 20 other state across the U.S. If
there is an area of concern, we can work on this during your student’s senior year.
3. The test can also be beneficial to our teaching staff. With the data we get from the test, we can
review areas of strength and weakness of our 11th grade as a whole and possibly modify some
of our senior curricula to reinforce strengths and address any patterns of weakness.
I realize that staff, students and their families are experiencing a feeling of test weariness and technically 11th graders do not need this test for graduation. But for the reasons listed above, I encourage
you to have your 11th grader take these tests and take them seriously. I recognize and respect that it
is each parent’s right to choose to have your student take part in the SBA and there may be parents
who have decided to sign off on a refusal-to-test form based on a real philosophical opposition to the
increase in testing. However, I would argue that just being able to sleep in is not a rational to sign off
on a refusal to test.
I also want to make it clear that if an 11th grader does not test and does not go through the process
of getting and filling out that form, they will, by state directive, be pulled from class the following
week and be tested. This would result in additional lost instructional time. I appreciate you considering this information and I assure you that all of us at LHS will do our very best to make use of every
minute of instructional time we have between now and June 17.

About ORCA
ORCA is an early college academy for high school
students, who can earn up to two years of college
credit while completing their high school education.
Most students graduate with an associate’s degree
in addition to a high school diploma.
The program is the only early college academy of its kind in the country. ORCA uses the local marine
environment as the unifying theme for all academic disciplines. Using an innovative, project-based approach in a small "learning community" environment, students enjoy the challenge of designing and
implementing their own learning experiences under the guidance of talented college faculty. While marine science provides the focus for interdisciplinary projects, students receive a rich education in all of
the core subjects, with outstanding faculty members working with the students for two years.
By using the framework of the Running Start program and the resources of Everett Community College, there is no tuition for high school students.
Apply by May 1 for the 2015-16 School Year
ORCA is now accepting applications for the 2015-16 academic year. The deadline to apply is May 1.

Student Loans
Student loans are real loans—just as real as car loans or mortgages. You
have to pay back your student loans. Many students need to borrow money
to pay for their education. The most important thing you can do is understand how loans work before you sign the loan paper work, otherwise you
may be in for an unpleasant surprise down the road.
When you fill out your FAFSA and apply for financial aid at your college or
career school, the school’s financial aid office may offer you loans as a part
of your financial aid package.
Generally, there are two types of student loans:
Federal student loans: These loans are funded by the federal government.
Private student loans: These loans are nonfederal loans, made by a lender
such as a bank, credit union, state agency, or a school.
If you need to borrow money to pay for college or career school, a federal
student loan is probably your best option.
The three types of federal student loans are:

Direct Subsidized Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans;

Direct PLUS Loans (for graduate and professional students or parents)

Federal Perkins Loans.
What are the differences between federal and private student loans?
Federal student loans include many benefits like fixed interest rates and income-based repayment plans not typically offered with private loans. In contrast, private loans are generally more expensive than federal student loans.
The US Department of Education has a website that explains all of the ins
and outs of financial aid. Visit www.studentaid.ed.gov for comprehensive,
reliable information on all of your loan and other financial aid options.

Continued:
Loan Repayment
No matter which type of loan you receive, remember that after you graduate,
leave school, or drop below half-time enrollment, your loans must be repaid.
However, you have a period of time before you have to begin repayment. This
is called a “grace period” and it ranges from six to nine months, depending on
the type of loan.
When you graduate or leave school, you’ll receive information about repayment, and your lender will notify you of the date loan repayment begins. It is
extremely important that you make your full loan payment on time either
monthly (which is usually when you’ll pay) or according to your repayment
schedule.
Did you know there are some programs that will help with loan repayment?
AmeriCorps is a national network of programs that engages more than 70,000
Americans each year in intensive service to meet critical needs in communities
throughout the nation. AmeriCorps offers several ways to get involved, from
part-time local service programs to full-time residential programs. Members
receive guidance and training so they can make a contribution that suits their
talents, interests, and availability. Serve for 12 months and receive up to
$7,400 in stipends plus $4,725 to be used towards your loan or future education costs.
The Peace Corps is a federal agency that provides volunteers to foreign countries. Peace Corps Volunteers work in the following areas: education, youth
outreach, and community development; business development; agriculture and
environment; health and HIV/AIDS; and information technology. Within these
areas, the specific duties and responsibilities of each volunteer can vary widely.
Volunteers may apply for deferment of and partial cancellation of certain types
of student loans.
There are other state and federal programs that help you repay your student
loans after college if you agree to meet certain conditions, like teaching in a
school district without enough qualified teachers, or becoming a nurse or doctor in an area without adequate medical services. Information on many of
these programs can be found at www.fedmoney.org.
I keep telling the students money doesn’t grow on Trees!!!
There are still scholarships available in the Career Center!!!

Thanks for another successful Butter Braids fundraiser – and a BIG THANK YOU to Kellie
Cooper for chairing this successful event! The Booster Auction was a fun night with great
successes for several teams and groups; although I haven’t heard if we made any money
from our basket. It sounds like this will be an annual event, so if you couldn’t make it this
year, maybe you can join in on the fun next year.
We will begin selling tickets to the 2016 Grad Night Party very soon. There will be a very
special price for those that commit before the end of this school year, so be on the lookout
for more info – coming soon! We are still needing to earn money, so this is what we have
coming up:
Value Village Donation Drive - We will have a truck at the school on April 17 & 18. Please
work on cleaning out your closets and bring your donations to school. We will get paid by
the pound for those items donated. More details will be sent out via email. Your help in
spreading the word on this event would be greatly appreciated.
May 9th: Sound Check Bar & Grill will host our 2nd annual benefit show. Power Cell has
been hired to entertain us again, but this year the venue is much closer to home! Come
have fun listening to some great music. Power Cell is an amazing band that covers 70s and
80s rock like no one else! $10 cover charge will get you in the door and Sound Check has a
full bar and a great menu.
May 20th: A Fundraising evening at Macaroni Grill at Alderwood Mall. Mark your calendar
for a night of no cooking! More details will be sent via email.
And don’t forget about these on-going fundraisers:
Amazon.com - I'm sure you already shop there on a regular basis, so next time you do log
on through this address for the class of 2016 to receive a referral commission: http://
www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=lyhiscpt-20 Once you log on, please bookmark
the page. The more that is bought through this site, the more of a commission we receive,
so please spread the word to your family and friends.
Pledge365 - Perhaps you'd consider making a donation? We are set up with Pledge365.....go
to https://www.stayclassy.org/checkout/donation?eid=22830 and choose "Wendy Brown Lynnwood High School Class of 2016 Grad Night." You can make a one time or a monthly
donation.
Thank you so much for your support. If you are not receiving emails for the class of 2016
and would like to, please send me an email and I'll get you added to the distribution list:

As the end of another school year approaches, the nominating committee would like you to
be aware that there are quite a few positions available for next year. PTSA Board members
are only allowed to hold a position for two consecutive years, which means that our Treasurer and Secretary need to step down. Other positions include: President, Vice President,
Staff Appreciation (luncheon lead), website and membership. If you would like to nominate
yourself or someone you know, send an email to [email protected]
Please make plans to attend our next meeting which is being held Thursday, May 7th starting at 7pm in the school library.

Happy Spring to all! Hard to believe we are just a few months out before the end of the
school year!
We have some great news! In case you hadn’t heard, our Auction was a HUGE success! After every penny was counted, we raised $8,614.00! However, we couldn’t have done it without the support from you all. It was amazing to see the LHS Community come together and
help make this event a complete success. The money we raised will help many LHS programs & students especially, several Seniors who will be graduating this year and are in
need of financial assistance with college expenses. Speaking of which, we will be taking Senior scholarship requests very soon. Seniors, keep an eye out for more information on that or
check in with Pam Keese in the Career Center. She will have the request forms after our next
Board Meeting on April 6th.
We hope many of you can now see what good work the Booster Club does and what our
mission is. We want to continue this momentum and really make a difference in the lives of
the LHS student body. On that note, it is never too late to become a Booster Club Member
and join in on all the fun! We are a great group of volunteers and although we work hard to
raise much needed funds, we also make time to have fun too. Visit our website at: http://
lhsroyalboosters.com/ and follow the instructions to join, it is a very simple process. We also have a Facebook page, like us on Facebook to see what good work we are doing.
