- Attendance Policy – WANIC summer programs are fast-paced so students can earn a high school semester of credit in only 13 days. There is insufficient time for a student to address missed course content if absent more than one day. If a student is too sick for school for more than 24 hours, such that they will miss more than one day of school, they will be offered a ‘hardship withdrawal’ and to be dropped from the class. A hardship withdrawal (“W”) will not negatively affect their GPA. Visit LWSD's Too Sick for School page for WANIC policies regarding students with symptoms.
- WANIC Summer Semester does not have an online option.
- Home school and private school students must have a current and active registration with their local public high school. The student's ID number provided by your school district is required information at the time of application. If the student's registration has expired because the student does not attend, work with the school directly to be active in their system again.

Summer Semester Overview
NEW FOR 2025: Being ACCEPTED into the program does not mean the student is enrolled. To finalize enrollment for students not currently enrolled in Lake Washington School District (LWSD) the parent/guardian MUST REGISTER THE STUDENT INTO WANIC Summer School 2025 using the LWSD Skyward Online Enrollment process. WANIC will email you instructions for completing the registration step. Failing to register the student by the deadline (indicated in the email) will result in the student's application being removed from the program and placed on a waitlist. Waitlisted applications cannot be guaranteed placement.
Students who are currently enrolled in LWSD do not need to complete this step, your student will automatically be enrolled using a different process.
