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:

•   Parent/guardian requests that the student no longer take part in the Highly Capable Program. In this

case, the parent/guardian submits a written request to exit the program and sends it

to P-5 Instruction and Early Learning Programs, 3900 Broadway, Everett,

WA 98201, or email to highlycapable@everettsd.org. A copy of all communication will be placed in the student’s file.

•   If it is evident that the student is consistently having difficulty in the program. School

staff members, highly capable staff, and parents/guardians will meet to discuss student

progress and support. Placement in HC classroom 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.

If a decision is made to exit the student from the HC Program, the student will be reassigned to a general 

education classroom at their neighborhood school, unless a variance is approved to remain at the current school.
