Program Pathways
Nominations and Referrals
In fall, 2021, all students in kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades in Highline were screened to receive highly capable services. It is critical in the early years because brain development is so rapid and variable at young ages, and intelligence does not always present itself in a traditional way, for students with a variety of backgrounds and exposure to early learning experiences. Students in any grades 2-5 may be nominated for testing by their parent/guardian, teacher, principal, another staff member, other students or a community member. For student nominations, you may call the Teaching and Learning Office at 206-631-3101 or submit your nomination online.
*Please note screening for Highly Capable identification is limited to students enrolled in Highline Public Schools.
