Community Collaboration and Engagement

You are valued members to our collaborative team supporting HiCap students.  Therfore, we are planning a number of ways in which you can engage and work with the district.

***** Recruiting Parents for Shoreline HiCap Advisory Committee *****

The Shoreline HiCap Advisory Committee will be a new way for Shoreline parents, administrators, and teachers to:

-- Learn together about gifted learners

-- Provide feedback on the implementation of our Hicap program

-- Plan district community events

-- Provide information for HiCap newsletters

We are accepting applications for the committee with the goal of starting in the fall of 2017.  We will meet 4 times per year.

If you are a Shoreline public schools parent interested in serving on this committee please go to this online form and submit your name for consideration.

HiCap Magnet Program Transportation

Specific information regarding transportation for students who will attend the Magnet HiCap Program will be communicated in the middle to late August, from the Transportation Department.  However, please know that students who attend the magnet program at either Ridgecrest or Meridian Park will be transported from their neighborhood school to the magnet school neighborhood school in the morning and then back in the afternoon.

It is important to know students will need to be able to walk or have transportation to and from their home (or care provider) to their neighborhood school.  This means students cannot take the regular neighborhood buses as the bus schedules do not line up.

Recording of Parent Meeting to Learn About HiCap Changes

The Shoreline School Board voted on Monday, March 20, regarding how Highly Capable services will be provided next school year. We held some community meetings recently to provide parents and staff with more information and an opportunity to ask questions about the new options for Highly Capable Services.

A recording of the parent meeting that was held on March 30 is posted below.
