The Sequim School District announces an open nomination process from through Feb. 12 for students currently in the second through 12th grades who may qualify for Highly Capable (HiCap) Program services.

Nomination forms are available at each school and online at the district website at www.sequim.k12.wa.us.

Nomination forms must be received by close of business Thursday, Feb. 12.

Because of time constraints, nominations received after Feb. 12 will not be considered.

HiCap students, also referred to as gifted students, perform or show potential to perform at remarkably high levels of accomplishment when compared to other students of the same age, experience or background.

These students may demonstrate exceptionally high intellectual ability, memory, creativity, curiosity and/or leadership ability.

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.

Questions concerning HiCap services in the Sequim School District may be directed to Margaret Whitley, HiCap Program coordinator, at 582-3367 or mwhitley@sequim.k12.wa.us.

Students previously identified will continue to receive services.
