About the Highly Capable Program
Highly capable services are available in the Pullman School District for grades K-12 in accordance to Chapter 392-170-010 of the Washington Administrative Code. A teacher, parent/guardian, student, or any person who has knowledge of the student’s abilities may initiate a referral for highly capable services.
The referral form is available below or at the elementary, middle, and high schools from the school psychologist. Referral forms for current kindergarten students to receive services during the current school year will be accepted the 4th week of October. Referral forms for current K-11th grade students to receive services during the following school year will be accepted the 4th week of February. Students may only be assessed once per academic year.
Multiple objective criteria are used for identification of qualified students by a Highly Capable Selection Committee. Parent permission will be obtained before conducting any assessments for eligibility.
