Annual Notification Announcement WAC 392-170-042

As part of Rosalia School District’s commitment to student learning, we offer opportunities for learning enrichment through the K-12 Highly Capable Program.

Highly capable students perform or show potential for performing at significantly advanced academic levels when compared with others of their age, experiences, or environments.

Learning characteristics include

1. the capacity to learn with unusual depth of understanding, to retain what has been learned, and to transfer learning to new situations
2. the capacity and willingness to deal with increasing levels of abstraction and complexity earlier than their chronological peers
3. creative ability to make unusual connections among ideas and concepts
4. the ability to learn quickly in their area(s) of intellectual strength
5. the capacity for intense concentration and focus

Any teacher, parent/guardian, student, or community member who has knowledge of the student’s abilities may refer a student for entry into Rosalia’s Highly Capable Program.  Referral forms are available on the Rosalia School District’s main office.  Referrals may be submitted at any time during the academic year and parental permission will be obtained before conducting any assessments for eligibility.

Student eligibility for the Highly Capable Program is determined through the professional judgment of a multidisciplinary committee through the use of multiple criteria including:

1. Academic achievement
2. Teacher and parent recommendations
3. Evidence of highly capable learning characteristics
4. Cognitive test scores

The Highly Capable Committee will review nominations periodically throughout the year and families will be notified by mail of the screening results.

Please contact Hilory Brown at hbrown@rosaliaschools.org for further information.

These notifications are provided to ensure transparency, safety, and equal access for all students, staff, and families within the district. Each policy and statement outlined below is designed to uphold federal and state standards while fostering a healthy, inclusive, and supportive learning environment. The district encourages all members of the school community to review these notifications carefully and reach out to the appropriate department with any questions or concerns regarding their rights, responsibilities, or available resources.

In compliance with federal legislation, this school district has contracted with Environmental Protection Agency accredited personnel and has completed AHERA inspections and management plans for all school district buildings.

All friable and non-friable ASBM discovered during the inspections are recorded in the AHERA management plan along with the approved response actions for each. Copies of the AHERA inspection report and management plan for the entire school district are available for public review at the administration office during regular business hours.
