Placement at 425.456.4200Waitlist Procedure ■ If you don’t get in by lottery, you will be placed on our general waitlist in the order of your lottery number, per your language group. ■ The Kindergarten waitlist will remain effective for the kindergarten year and we will contact you when a spot becomes open. At that time your child will be offered an opportunity to take our proficiency screening; if your child enters the program after school starts in kindergarten, they will need to take the proficiency screener if they are filling a “Mandarin Proficient” seat. Up to the first quarter non-Mandarin speakers will not be screened. After the first quarter the language groups will be combined in the order of the perpetual lottery number. After which all applicants on the waitlist will need to pass proficiency screening for admission and will receive communication from the District to affirm their intent to remain on the waitlist. ■ Siblings have the right to invoke sibling priority for preferential enrollment. In case of sibling lottery, siblings who do not get in via the sibling lottery will be placed on the top of the general waitlist. As a result, the general waitlist will be shifted to accommodate sibling priority. ■ If, during the one-year period of dual enrollment, the sibling first admitted to the Choice School or Program makes a discretionary transfer to another school, the student admitted by the sibling priority will be re-instated to the waitlist in the order of their perpetual lottery number.

■ The Bellevue community has a long history of supporting our students and schools to ensure that
Bellevue maintains the high quality our community expects. The Bellevue School District is asking
the community to consider a capital bond on the Feb. 11, 2020 ballot to address critical needs in
the areas of safety, aging schools and additional classroom space to accommodate our continuing
growth.
■ The 2020 capital projects bond will provide students with high-quality learning spaces by replacing
aging school buildings and adding classrooms and student support spaces and increase safety and
security for students and schools among other needs. Read more about the capital bond on our
website at bsd405.org/2020bond.
