If this opportunity sounds like a good fit for you, a few things are important to know before proceeding:

  • You will be attending North Creek for part of your day and another campus for the Satellite class (unless it is a class held at NCHS) for part of your day. A "travel period" is usually needed in order to get to your Satellite class. The travel period is just that, time to get to your class, and does not bear any credit.
  • You will need to have enough room in your schedule to be able to graduate on time AND attend your chosen Satellite class in order to take part in the program.

 

Steps for applying to a Satellite class:

1. Research using the different resources above to find a class that fits your interests.

2. Apply: start by completing this Program Interest Form. Students who complete the Program Interest Form will receive a Satellite Application via email.  Watch for the application in your NSD student email account. If any information is entered incorrectly, the approval process will be delayed. Please complete the Program Interest Form several days prior to the March 24th application deadline to allow enough time to receive, complete and submit the SATELLITE APPLICATION.

3. Complete the SATELLITE APPLICATION Once a student completes the student section, the application will automatically be sent via email to their parent for approval. Following the parent e-signature, the application will automatically be sent via email to to your respective counselor at NCHS for review. Deadline for all steps of the application March 24, 2024.

4. Indicate your intention to take a Satellite class when you enter your course selections on StudentVue during registration. You can find the "placeholder" code on your Course Planning Sheet. You will still need to register for 7 credits as if you are not taking a WaNIC class as the WaNIC code does not have any credit attached to it. If accepted to the program, you will work with your counselor to determine which classes you will drop for the following year.
