Each year, school districts across Washington implement procedures for screening, referring, elevating, and identifying students for highly capable (hi-cap) designation. Hi-Cap designation gives families and schools additional information about a student's learning needs. MLSD's assessment program ensure students with qualifying screening scores are considered. We use multiple assessments and data points to help with this process. In addition, students may be referred by family members, teachers, support staff, community members, or themselves through our online referral form. 

 

The "Open Window" for hi-cap referrals is Monday, January 13 - Friday, January 24, 2025. Should you desire to refer a student for consideration, please complete and submit an online referral by Friday, January 24, 2025. Hard copies are also available at each school's main office.
