Welcome Back to College
in the
High School
September 2020
Greetings Students!

Like students and schools everywhere, the CWU College in the High School office and staff continue to adapt to shifts in learning modes. Many high schools are committed to teaching entirely online, while others are providing hybrid options.

No matter how your school and teachers deliver the experience to you, those who participate in CWU College in the High School will have our support.

Your teachers and administration have communicated with us and we are all on board together with the assistance you need to be successful in your classes.

Communication is of paramount importance during these unusual times. We're good at returning the messages you leave on voice mail promtly, and email is very efficient.

We need your help. Check with your CiHS classmates from last year, and ask if they received this newsletter. We want to be told, if any email addresses need to be updated.

Your teaccher should be able to answer most of your questions. They will be your primary, day-to-day contact for us if you enroll again in CiHS classes. But if there's anything you need help with, please feel free to reach out.

Communication with all partners - the instructors, administrators, students and counselors - remain a top priority.
Keep Building Your Transcript

During the 2019-2020 school year, you participated in rigorous College in the High School classes and earned highly transferable CWU credit.

Then, because of Covid-19, you were thrown into unusual circumstances that threatened the favorite, reliable education routines for schools and students alike.

You persevered.

Students like you have earned an advantage when applying to colleges and universities or starting on a career path.

  • You can continue to build your advantage, by enrolling again this year in a CWU College in the High School class.

  • Check with your teachers or counselor about what classes are available to you and how to take advantage of the low-cost option for building an impressive college transcript.

  • You will be earning highly transferable CWU credit. You will also potentially reduce your dependence on financial aid or student loans in the future.

While we can't say for sure that you will be able to continue with your peers on a familiar high school campus, we do appreciate your academic efforts. Everyone can learn better in an on-line or hybrid system, with more time to cover the material than a college quarter, and a familiar teacher that cares about you and your learning experience.

CWU College in the High School is a great option for forging your way to the future. Our program offers a strong foundation for building a college or career plan. Our team will support you, your classmates, your teacher and your school in all efforts to navigate through these uncertain times.
