Highly Capable Program: Universal Screening & Referral Window
The Highly Capable Program serves students who perform, or show potential to perform, well above grade level and need accelerated learning and enhanced instruction beyond the general education curriculum.
Universal Screening: As required by Washington State law (RCW 28A.185.030), each year we review existing data for all K–6 students, including achievement scores, aptitude data, and classroom performance. This helps make sure we don't miss students who could benefit from advanced learning.
No new tests are given, and students aren't pulled from class.
Universal screening does not place a student in the program. It identifies students who may benefit from services; further testing is needed to determine eligibility.
If screening shows your child may benefit from services, we will contact you to complete a referral.
If you'd prefer that your child not be included in screening, please email Jodi Olson at jolson@sequimschools.org by November 20. Opting out of screening does not prevent you from submitting a referral.
Referral Window: December 1 – January 31 Anyone may refer a student in grades K–11, whether or not the student was identified through screening. Parent/guardian permission is always obtained before CogAT (Cognitive Abilities Test) testing. Referral forms will be available on the district website beginning December 1. Paper forms will also be available at any building office or from Jodi Olson, Highly Capable Program Coordinator, jolson@sequimschools.org .
It's National School Psychology Week, a week we recognize the important role school psychologists play in supporting students, families, and school communities. This year's theme, "Inspire Connection", celebrates how meaningful relationships and collaboration help students thrive at school, at home, and in life.
