Sep 30 @ 6:15 pm

If you have a designated Highly Capable (HC) or Advanced Learner (AL), or if your kiddo is simply bored at school because they’re not getting the accelerated education they need in West Seattle, please show up next Tuesday 9/30, 6:15pm at Chief Sealth HS to talk to the new director of the Highly Capable department at SPS, Dr. Paula Montgomery. She is collecting feedback to improve the program. The more WS families show up, the more likely HC/AL services will return to WS. seattleschools.org/news/highly-capable-engagement-sessions
