RUNNING START ENROLLMENT FOR FALL QUARTER 2020
Registration for classes begins May 18th through the end of June.
Returning already-enrolled Running Start students should e-mail Ms. Karen @
kabrookman@seattleschools.org to receive a signed Enrollment Verification Form.
New students to Running Start should go to the website of the college campus they wish to attend - Seattle Central, North Seattle, South Seattle, Bellevue, or Shoreline. Each college has basically the same process for enrollment but with a few variations. After clicking on "Academics" (or "Programs") -> High School Programs -> Running Start, all the college's steps to enroll are there. Students will need to take an online assessment, one for all English/Writing/History courses and one for Math if students want to take Math or Science at the college. Running Start math courses start at Pre-Calculus level.
After enrollment is completed, students should contact Ms. Karen for course advising and to receive an Enrollment Verification Form. They will then receive an appointment from the Running Start office for online advising and to pick out their classes and schedule.
New students who are attending Running Start part-time will need to work their schedules out for both college and Center School carefully to avoid conflicts.

Immunizations: Information For Graduates
Graduating from high school will bring enough challenges. Don't let missing vaccines and getting a vaccine-preventable disease add to them. Planning now allows you to be ready for your new life at work or college.
As a new graduate why do you need to care about your immunizations?
Don't assume that you have already had all of your immunizations just because you were attending a public high school. Even if your parents or guardians had been following the standard immunization schedule, state vaccine laws do vary, so you may have missed some.
