Advanced Learning Updates (Good luck, parents)
From the district:
The Advanced Learning office will notify families (who referred a child by the Oct. 8 deadline) via email about a child’s eligibility as Cognitive Abilities Test scores are received and processed from late January through February. Families who haven’t received an eligibility email by Feb. 29 should contact Advanced Learning at alsupportanalysts@seattleschools.org with the subject line “Eligibility Letter.”

Families should submit a School Choice Form during this window even if they have NOT received eligibility results by this time.
