I understand my choice status is ONLY for the current school year that I am applying for. My acceptance will end on the last day of the current school year, and I must renew my application each school year.

I understand that I am responsible for my attendance, behavior, and academic progress in school. I will work with the staff to ensure that I am working to the best of my ability and challenging myself academically and as a person. I will accept the consequences of my mistakes and learn from them.

I will be a positive addition to the district and use my time here to help prepare myself for college and career readiness after graduation.

My presence and the relationships I build will positively contribute to the overall school culture.

I understand that I am a choice student in the district and that my acceptance as a choice student may be revoked based on one of the following circumstances:

• My continued acceptance would result in the district experiencing significant financial hardship.
• My continued acceptance would cause my grade level or class to exceed capacity.
• The appropriate education programs or services are no longer available.
• I engage in violent or disruptive behavior that violates district policy and procedure.
• I am expelled or suspended for more than ten consecutive days.
• My acceptance would conflict with an innovation academy cooperative under RCW 28A.340.080.
• I repeatedly fail to comply with requirements for participation in an online school program, such as failing to participate in weekly direct contact with the teacher or monthly progress evaluation.
