The Highly Capable Program serves students in grades K-12 who perform or show potential for performing at significantly advanced academic levels.

If your student is not in 2nd or 5th grade and you would like us to assess them for the Highly Capable Program, please complete and return the Student Referral for Evaluation form to your child’s school office by January 30, 2026.

Cougar Cabinet students are leading the way in making their schools a welcoming environment.

Students focused on inclusion by creating welcome-back cards for absent classmates and banners to make everyone feel welcome. Watch the video to see their creativity in action!

The best part of being an author? When someone enjoys reading your work! Lakewood Elementary’s student authors recently shared their writing with other students and parents during a special Writing Celebration.

Each writer had a compliment sheet so readers could leave encouraging notes.  The event helps students build confidence and creativity as they learn the important skill of writing.

During special assemblies on Dec. 18, Lakewood Middle School and Lakewood Elementary received their Culture Kickoff Award banners, joining Lakewood High School as an award recipient. This was the second year that LHS received the recognition, one of only eight schools to receive the recognition two years in a row. A total of 30 schools received the award this year.

Dameon Brown, from Association for Washington School Principals, presented students and staff with their banners. He told students, "You set the tone. Teamwork, positivity, responsibility. Culture is not just an event. It is how we treat each other every day." Learn more about the activities schools are doing to kickoff the school year:

Thank you to everyone who helped to make sure every student could experience the joy of the holidays this season!

Our Lakewood Holiday Helper volunteers purchased games, books, clothes, gloves, PJs, and even favorite snacks for 88 children in our community who are experiencing homelessness.

Scooters are so much fun! And they’re great for developing motor skills such as balance, coordination and dexterity.

Kindergartners at Lakewood Elementary had fun pushing and gliding recently during PE specialist time. Way to roll!
