Advanced Academics Information

Resources, timelines, and information about the Advanced Academics programs available to our students is available at this link. The deadline to submit Advanced Academic Level IV Referral forms for second grade students not in the screening pool and students in third through sixth grade is January 12, 2018. Referral forms should be submitted to Karin Coburn, our Advanced Academics Resource Teacher. Due to the tight time frame, do not wait for test scores before submitting a referral for your student in grades 2-7 as there will be no referrals for Level IV screening accepted past the January 12, 2018 deadline.  Please contact Karin Coburn (kmcoburn@fcps.edu) with any questions about this process.
