The Sequim School District announced last week its open referral process for students all grades (kindergarten-12th) who may qualify for Highly Capable (Hi-Cap) Program services.

Referrals will be accepted through Jan. 31, program representatives said.

Anyone may refer students, including but not limited to: teachers; parents/guardians; staff; friends; students, and members of the community. However, parent/guardian permission is required for testing.

Referral forms are online at the district website at https://tinyurl.com/hicap Packet.

Paper referral forms are available at each school, the Sequim School District Office (503 N. Sequim Ave.), Sequim Boys & Girls Club (400 W. Fir St.), and the Sequim Library (630 N. Sequim Ave.).

All referrals must be returned to the Highly Capable Program Coordinator Jodi Olson at Sequim Middle School (301 W. Hendrickson Road), to school building secretaries or the district office by close of business on Jan. 31.

Students who were previously identified by Sequim School District will continue to receive services and do not need to re-apply.

For more information about the Hi-Cap program and services, contact Olson at 360-775-7083 or jolson@sequimschools.org, or on the Sequim School District website at https://tinyurl.com/SSDhicap.
