We understand that, in order to be eligible, the student must be a junior or senior, and have room in their schedule for two periods (1.5 credits) of NCTA classes both semesters.
We understand that NCTA’s Technical Math can be used as an alternative to the state’s Algebra 2 requirement.
We understand that grades will be assigned by NCTA instructors as employees of the Mount Vernon School District, and put on the student transcript by B-EHS.
We understand that tuition is free, but that the student is responsible for any other fees.
We understand that in order to be successful, the student must be self-motivated, self-directed, and have good attendance at both B-EHS and NCTA.
We understand that parent contact regarding the student’s progress is not the same as at B-EHS. Parents may not receive progress reports and report cards on the same schedule as B-E, or have the same opportunity for parent/teacher conferences with NCTA classes.
We understand that attendance will be kept for NCTA classes, and it will be the responsibility of the parent to call both B-EHS and NCTA to report an absence.

We understand that students seeking a B-EHS diploma must meet all graduation requirements, including the state pathway and the Seminar program as the High School & Beyond Plan. Students will not be allowed to go through B-EHS commencement exercises unless they have met all B-EHS graduation requirements at the time of Senior Check-out.
We understand that students remain enrolled in a Seminar class and are responsible for each semester’s coursework.
We understand that NCTA programs are on Mount Vernon School District’s calendar, which may have different starting dates, ending dates, snow days and vacation times than B-EHS.

We understand that students can participate in athletics and activities at B-EHS and must take the equivalent of 7 B-E classes, abide by all WIAA and B-EHS rules, and complete the WIAA/NCTA contract with the athletic director.

 We understand that transportation is provided to and from Mt. Vernon programs, is shared with Sedro Woolley School District for programs in Anacortes, and is not provided to Automotive.
