Procedure

Admission to Puesta del Sol is granted on a space available basis to those students selected under District Procedure 3120.1P. Students are primarily admitted at Kindergarten. At the discretion of the principal in conjunction with the Student Placement Office, students may be admitted into grades other than Kindergarten.

Once admitted into Puesta del Sol, students may remain in the International Spanish Academy Program through graduation, unless the student moves out of the Bellevue School District.

If a student is withdrawn from Puesta del Sol for any reason, the student may forfeit his/her place at the school. Should the student wish to apply for readmission at a later date, the family must establish residency in the District and, if there is no waiting list and there is capacity in the requested grade, the student may be readmitted at the principal’s discretion. Students will need to be evaluated for their Spanish language proficiency prior to being readmitted.
