Highly Capable Program

2012-13 Highly Capable Program Nominations: January 3–31, 2013

Each school year, Sumner School District accepts nominations of students in grades 2-5 whose educational needs might be best served by the District’s Highly Capable Program.  Students identified as highly capable in grades 3-5 are served in a self-contained “all day” program; at the middle school level the program provides students with challenging programs in social studies, language arts, math and science content areas.
