Highly Capable Student Identification
Due to our school closures this week, the deadline for turning in the HiCap referrals will be rescheduled for Friday, January 24th.
It is time to begin this school year’s process for identifying students who may qualify for highly capable services and benefit from specialized instruction.
Please refer to the packet, 2019-20 Highly Capable Referral Packet located on the Port Angeles School District’s webpage, Departments – Special Services - Highly Capable Programs - Forms. This packet will provide descriptions of the most highly capable student, as provided by the State of Washington’s Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), as well as the process and criteria for identification, the district’s timeline during the school year, and the continuum of services that are offered to identified students.
Students may be nominated by a teacher, parent, guardian, community member, school staff member, or they may self-nominate.
