HICAP UPDATE: ACTION

UPDATED LISTS of ELIGIBLE STUDENTS FOR 26-27 - AVAILABLE NOW!

To help you with your planning for next year, the Highly Capable Department has updated the master spreadsheet of eligible students for the 26-27 school year.  

   School Rosters can found on the HiCap Staff Portal

• Please make note of those students who have NO PARENTAL CONSENT in Column “L”. 

• Until the HiCap office receives parental consent, that student cannot receive hi-cap services.

• Consent forms can be found on the HiCap Staff Portal
