Is there a "waiver" to move my student into Advanced Courses?
There is NOT a waiver process. We will not change your teacher recommendations by parent request.
Will there be a "second look"?
No, there is not a second look for recommendations. If Lakeside teachers believe that the student is ready to be moved into an advanced course, then the teacher will contact the parent to suggest a move during the school year. Parents may not change course recommendations.
*Please note that the courses of students who are currently being served through an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) will be determined and finalized during their transition IEP meeting in the spring.
Gifted Services in Middle School
Gifted services in middle school are different from the elementary school Gifted model. Gifted students are served through an academic subject. Current Gifted students need be recommended for at least one Gifted academic course to continue to be Gifted eligible.
