The Quest Elementary Program for Highly Capable Students (Grades 1-6) will be accepting applications for the 2008-2009 school year from November 1, 2007, through 4:00 p.m. on December 10, 2007.

All parents interested in the Quest Program are invited to attend the Quest Elementary Information Night on Thursday, November 1, from 7:00-8:00 p.m. in the Lake Washington School District Resource Center in Redmond Town Center. This program will explain more specifically what Quest offers to highly capable, academically gifted children.

The elementary Quest program offers two options for students who demonstrate superior ability, who exceed grade level standards in literacy and math, and who exhibit exceptional creativity in the classroom. Students who qualify for the Full Time program are enrolled in an accelerated, self-contained classroom for the full day, five days a week. Students in the Enrichment Pull Out program attend their home school four days a week and a pullout enrichment classroom one day a week.

More information can be found in the Quest information packet that will be available at all elementary schools, in the Quest section of this Web site, and at the Quest Office on the third floor of the Resource Center (425-702-3238; Quest@lwsd.org).
