FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q) I am a transfer student. What all am I required to do? A) All that is required are those artifacts
listed under the year of entry into the district. If you spent two years in Kent you will only
need to: Complete 2 of the 4 mentioned Tech
Proficiencies Complete 2 Best Works (one for each year in
Kent) Have two HS and Beyond researched papers
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q) When do I have to have everything put in eFolio? A) A drop dead date will be set around
the end of April. Failing to complete this task will delay you
getting your diploma. eFolio must be checked as complete in order
for your transcript to show you have met the State requirement for: Culminating Project and High School and Beyond
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q) What if I no longer have my Tech Proficiency work? A) You will have to redo them since we now
accept the Portfolio Cover Page, Resume, and an Excel assignment as Tech Proficiencies.
Q) When will I know when I do my Senior Presentation? A) In February students will be randomly
selected and be given a day/time to present. Students may volunteer to go the first days
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q) What happens if I am not ready to present on my assigned date? A) If not ready, students will be given
ONE more opportunity to complete their presentation on a date assigned by staff.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q) What if I fail my presentation? A) Those who have failed, it’s usually
because of one of two reasons: Did not meet the required time limit (10-12 min),
OR; Did not refer to Portfolio at least three times
If failure is due to one of these two reasons and the presentation met all other requirements, the student must meet with an administrator to discuss what could have been added/deleted from the presentation to meet requirement.
