The program offers each qualifying student with appropriate services and support. Options for service may include accelerated learning opportunities, unique educational challenges and/or academic grouping arrangements. Who are Highly Capable Students? Highly capable students are those who perform at significantly advanced academic levels when compared with others of the same age. Outstanding abilities are seen within students' general intellectual aptitude and/or specific academic abilities. Program Goals: To provide rich and accelerated academic challenges that encourages creative problem solving, and higher level thinking skills, including analysis, synthesis and evaluation of concepts. Identification Process Identification is open to all students in the Orcas Island School District beginning in November and ending December 15th. It is a multi-step process that includes notification, referral, parent permissions, assessment, and selection. Nomination Process Anyone can nominate a student for highly capable services including parents, teachers, administrators, and community members. All nominations must be received by the district (either elementary school, middle school, or high school) no later than December 15th in order to be considered for highly capable. Screening After students are referred for Highly Capable Program services, program staff will compile a portfolio of data on each child that includes CogAT score, the Renzulli Rating Scale and district assessment data such as the Smarterbalanced Assessments, Dibels, and Star Enterprise Assessments. Student data portfolios are evaluated by a multidisciplinary selection committee to determine if each student is eligible to receive program services. Eligible students will perform at approximately the top 5% academically when compared with others of their age. Parents will be notified by mail regarding eligibility status. CogAt: Cognitive Abilities Assessment used to test reasoning and problem solving abilities. Renzulli Rating Scales: Rates the behavioral characteristics of superior students. PSAT: Measure the ability to understand and process elements of reading, writing, and mathematics. Nomination Timeline November: Nomination packets available at school office. January: Notification will be sent to families to confirm testing day and time. February or March: Assessment window 4 of 61 Test scores are reviewed by the Multidisciplinary Selection Committee to determine eligibility. All families and nominating teachers will be provided the outcome regarding student placement. Procedure for Appeal If a student does not meet the eligibility requirements, parents or guardians have the right to appeal the final decision of the multidisciplinary team. Appeals must be submitted in writing within 15 business days of notification. The Orcas Island School District, in compliance with the Washington State rules for Highly Capable Programs (WAC 392-170-047), has a procedure to allow students to exit the program. Once a student is placed in the Highly Capable Program, that student will remain in there unless it is evident that the student is consistently having difficulty. School staff members and parents will meet to discuss student progress and support. Placement in the Highly Capable Program will be reviewed to determine if it is in the best interest of the student. The decision to exit a student from the program will be based on data demonstrating that the student is consistently struggling to meet Highly Capable expectations. Common Characteristics of Highly Capable Individuals Because gifted children are so diverse, not all exhibit all characteristics all of the time. However, there are common characteristics that many gifted individuals share: ● Unusual alertness, even in infancy ● Rapid learner; puts thoughts together quickly ● Excellent memory ● Unusually large vocabulary and complex sentence structure for age ● Advanced comprehension of word nuances, metaphors and abstract ideas ● Enjoys solving problems, especially with numbers and puzzles ● Often self-taught reading and writing skills as preschooler ● Thinking is abstract, complex, logical, and insightful ● Longer attention span and intense concentration

Washington State Ferries (WSF) is the principal provider of marine transportation between the four main islands (San Juan, Orcas, Shaw and Lopez) and the mainland through Anacortes, Washington and through Sidney, BC, Canada (see Figure 1). Figure 1-San Juan County Marine Facilities and the WS Ferry Route The sixteen marine facilities, owned and maintained by San Juan County Public Works, supplement WSF operations by serving as transportation hubs between islands and the mainland to provide marine access for: Delivery of people, vehicles, and freight Commuting to Lopez, Orcas, San Juan and the mainland for business, services, work and school WSF Terminals for walk on passengers Postal service Emergency services and law enforcement Marine recreational or tourism opportunities for County residents and visitors San Juan County Public Works owns and/or maintains marine facilities (piers, floats, and ramps) at 16 locations that connect to the 270 miles of County Roads on San Juan, Orcas, Shaw, Lopez, Decatur, Stuart, and Waldron (see Figure 2).

  • Washington Geology, V, 21, No. 4, December 1993
    WASHINGTON GEOLOGY Washington Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geology and Earth Resources Vol. 21, No. 4, December 1993 Hercules No. 1 quarry in Tenino sandstone at Lemon Hill in Tenino (ca. 1908), operated by the Hercules Sandstone Co. A coal- or wood-fired, steam-driven, double channeler under 200 pounds of steam is cutting blocks. The channeler moved 40 feet each half hour and cut a groove 2 inches deep on each pass; it took many passes to cut the 52-inch depth of these blocks. A set of three tempered steel bits was located on each side of the channeler; two bits were arranged with blades perpendicular to the channel length, and the center bit was set at 45 degrees to the other bits. Bits used to make the first cut in the channels were 2.5 inches wide, but were progressively changed and were 1 inch wide for the deepest part of the groove. A man walked on each side of this machine, using a long-handled spoon to remove stone chips from the grooves. The machine ran 24 hours a day. A derrick moved the channeler to new positions. Water for the boiler was brought up in barrels. Hoses on the left are for steam drills run by power from the channeler. Men on the right in this photo are using wedges to split off parts of the outermost block. Blocks were also split off at the base with wedges. The comer of the "platform" has broken at a joint.

  • Board & Staff Members Bios – May 2014
    BOARD & STAFF MEMBERS BIOS – MAY 2014 David Alexander David’s love of boating first brought him to the San Juan Islands in the early 1970’s. He has since cruised extensively through the San Juan and Gulf Islands with extended trips into northern BC and SE Alaska. He is a hiker, skier, fisherman, gardener, guitarist and loves kayaking and sailing the waters around Deer Harbor. David retired in 2008 after a 29-year career in the commercial real estate industry where he was president and owner of a Seattle-based commercial brokerage firm. In addition, he was a principal in a development company, which produced several medical office buildings and clinics co-owned and managed by David and his partner until sold in 2007. He received his B.A. degree from the University of Washington in 1977 with an emphasis in real estate and finance. While living in Seattle he was involved in the community as a member of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, IFMA, NACORE, and was a member of the boards of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of America – Seattle Chapter, and the Seattle Repertory Theater. Upon retirement, David and his wife Sonia moved to Orcas Island, where he has served as a member of the Orcas Island Community Foundation Investment Committee, as president of the Orcas Tennis Club, as a steward for the San Juan Preservation Trust, and as a member of the Orcas RC Airplane Club.
