    Appeals
    Appeals are considered annually for students who did not meet the criteria for placement.    The outcomes of an appeal include: maintaining the placement decision, changing the placement decision, or allowing the student to retest in late summer/early fall.  In order to appeal the placement team decision for your child, you must submit an appeal form to the BSD Assessment Office by May 27. Use the Appeal Form link below:

    Students who transfer to Bethel School District and have qualified in that district's highly capable program are not automatically enrolled.  Test scores and placement letters from the prior district may be used as long as they meet our criteria.  Please contact Judy Armijo at 253.800.2090 for further information.
