Summer Session

Highline Public Schools has adopted a very specific process to enroll non-resident students wishing to access skills center programming only. If you are a non-resident student, that lives outside of the Highline Public School boundaries and you wish to attend the skills center you are required to follow the below steps:

1. Contact the Skills Center for more information about the program you wish to enroll in. The Skills Center staff can provide you with details about what you need to enroll and how.
2. Contact the district office where you reside to obtain more information on where to obtain an Inter-District Agreement form to be released part-time.

WHY DOES HIGHLINE PUBLIC SCHOOLS REQUIRE AN INTER-DISTRICT AGREEMENT FORM INSTEAD OF ACCEPTING A CHOICE TRANSFER REQUEST?

Choice transfer releases are intended to release a student from their resident school district for full time enrollment into a district that they do not reside. Inter-District Agreements are set up to allow students to request consideration for part time enrollment or dual enrollment in two different districts at the same time.

Non-resident students requesting attendance to Highline Public Schools (HPS) for the sole purpose of enrolling in a Skills Center program are required to complete an Inter-District Agreement form for part time release. If a student wished to attend HPS full time AND access programming at the Skills Center, the district would accept a Choice transfer request, but the student would be required to follow the non-resident enrollment process as set out in Policy and Procedure 3141.
