By signing this form I acknowledge this placement is not in alignment with the recommendations of the
Placement Committee and affirm that I have read and acknowledged the G/T course expectations. I will
monitor my child’s progress in the class to make sure the requested course remains appropriate with
reasonable classroom supports. I am aware that it may not be possible to transfer out of the course due to
scheduling limitations. In addition, note that level changes will only be permitted until the mid-point of the
course. For further information please refer to Policy 8020.
