Waivers
Please direct questions regarding Waivers for the 2008-09 school year to Linda Kelly in the Office of Student Services via phone (425) 408-7725, or email. Waiver Process
The school that a student attends is based on their residential address. If a student wants to attend a school other than the one in their service area, a waiver application is needed.
Since enrollment projections dictate staffing patterns, master schedules, and other school plans for the next year, the Office of Student Services starts the waiver process early. Please note: Waivers that are submitted after September 1st will be processed within a reasonable time frame. Forms In District [Northshore school to another Northshore school]
If you live within the geographic boundaries of the Northshore School District, and want your son/daughter to attend school somewhere other than their neighborhood school, you must fill out an In-District Waiver Form. You can download [ English | Spanish ] [Adobe Reader required] this form from the website or fill one out in person through the Office of Student Services. Each year following that initial approval, there is no paperwork that needs to be submitted. The waiver will automatically be rolled up to the next school year for as long as the student remains in the waiver pathway.
If you live outside the geographical boundaries of the Northshore School District and want to attend a Northshore school, you must go to your residential school district administrative office and fill out their form. That district must authorize the release of your student. Then, the form can either be mailed or hand-carried to the Office of Student Services. The Out-of-District waiver is only valid for one year and needs to be renewed annually. Please contact your resident district for that form.
If you live within the geographic boundaries of the Northshore School District and want your son/daughter to attend a school in another school district, you can complete the variance form through the Office of Student Services. Approval
The parent/guardian will receive notification from the school when the waiver is approved. By signing the waiver application form the parent/guardian is agreeing to the following:
