Monroe
Ninth- and 10th-grade students can choose to take courses online in the fall as part of a partnership between Monroe Public Schools and Virginia-based K12.
Students can choose from a full curriculum of classes through the Washington Virtual Academies, a statewide online public-school program that already serves 1,500 students. K12, a curriculum company, provides the course material and Monroe Public Schools will administer the program.
Participating students will have a personalized-learning program and a log-in account to access their lessons. They'll communicate regularly with Monroe Public Schools teachers and participate in Web-based sessions online.
Two informational meetings will be held about the program: at 7 p.m. Monday at the Best Western Sky Valley Inn in Monroe and at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Washington Virtual Academies Office in DuPont, Pierce County. Go to www.wava.org for more information.

Families needed to host students
Edmonds Community College is looking for families to provide rooms for international college students.
Families can choose to host the students, from various countries, for a week or up to a year. Students require their own rooms with amenities, including free Internet access.
Families will take part in a three-hour orientation and receive a stipend to help cover hosting costs.
For an application or for more information, call the Edmonds CC housing office at 425-640-1080 or e-mail housing@edcc.edu.
