Challenging Option Programs consist of a variety of models and services and therefore are dynamic and fluid. Everett Public Schools has a procedure to allow students to exit the Highly Capable (HC) Program after placement/participation, if desired. Depending on the circumstances of the withdrawal request, one of the following procedures will be followed:

•   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 the 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 or the current school is also their neighborhood school.
