Transfer
Transfer students who have been identified and served previously in another accelerated program will automatically be referred for eligibility screening in the Channahon School District 17 program using a test for gifted students. Scores provided from required assessments from the student’s previous school will be used for possible placement. In the case where scores are not available, assessments will be administered by the CSD17 team. For students that have completed a grade level in another country or private school earlier than the recommended age of our students, acceleration application protocols will apply.
Exit Procedure
Students placed in the gifted or accelerated program may be exited when it is determined that it would be in the best interest of the student to discontinue acceleration. A meeting will be held with parent(s)/guardian(s) to discuss findings.
In order for a student to be exited, one of the following conditions must be met:
A parent/guardian requests that the student be removed from the program.
The teacher, principal or school team recommends the student exit the program following a parent/guardian meeting.
Grade 6 assessment data indicates the student should not continue in the program for middle school placement.
