As we move into the spring quarter I just wanted to send out a quick update and reminder about the system placement agreement we have for the Bridge to College (BtC) transition courses offered at high schools across Washington (see the attached spreadsheet
for the list of districts/schools by region currently offering sections of Bridge to College English and/or Bridge to College Math). </div>

<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
In light of the unusual and challenging circumstances created by the pandemic in this current academic year, we have worked with our BtC teachers to adapt the curriculum to remote/hybrid approaches and support students as effectively as we can given the challenges;
with BtC Math we've also had to adjust the placement agreement to reflect those realities. You can see the specific changes we've made for 2020-21 in the attached "Agreement Update" document; I've also attached an updated version of our Bridge to College FAQ
document, FYI. </div>
