HIGHLY CAPABLE PROGRAM EXIT PROCEDURE

The Everett Public Schools, in compliance with the Washington State rules for Highly Capable Programs (WAC 392-170-047), has a procedure to allow students to exit the Highly Capable Program. The Highly Capable Program consists of a variety of models and services and therefore is dynamic and fluid. Students will be exited from the program for one of the following reasons:

1.  Parents/guardians request that the student no longer take part in the services. In this case the parent/guardian completes the exit request form and provides the completed form to the P-5 Instruction and Early Learning office located at 3900 Broadway, Everett, WA 98201. The form will then be placed in the student’s file.

2.  Once a student is placed in HC services, that student will remain in HC services unless it is evident that the student is consistently having difficulty. School staff members and parents/guardians will meet to discuss student progress and support. Placement in HC services will be reviewed to determine if it is in the best interest of the student. The decision to exit a student from the program will be based on data demonstrating that the student is consistently struggling to meet HC standards.
