Applications accepted through May 13 for Sequim School District’s Highly Capable Program

SEQUIM — Sequim School District students currently in kindergarten or first grade can apply for Highly Capable Program services through May 13.

The program provides instruction, activities and services that accelerate learning for young learners enrolled in a public school district identified as highly capable.

Students in the program are considered to be “gifted,” meaning they perform or show potential to perform at remarkably high levels of accomplishment when compared with other students of the same age, experience or background.

The identification procedures used by the Sequim School District have been developed to conform to state guidelines and are consistent with those used by other Washington school districts.

Students previously identified will continue to receive services.

Nomination forms are available at each school or can be printed out from the district website.

Nomination forms must be received at the district office by 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 13.

Due to time constraints, nominations received after May 13 will not be considered.

Questions can be directed to Margaret Whitley, program coordinator, at 360-582-3367 or mwhitley@sequim.k12.wa.us.

For more information, see www.sequim.k12.wa.us or phone the district office at 360-582-3260.
