FCPS Continuum of AAP Services
Fairfax
County Public School offers a continuum of advanced academic services for all
students in grades K-8. Learning experiences are designed to develop
high-level thinking through enrichment, acceleration, and extensions of the
Program of Studies. Teachers, administrators, and the advanced academic
resource teacher work together to provide various levels of school based
services in each elementary school.
Screening for school-based services can happen at any time
during the school year but is done schoolwide in spring to determine services
for the next school year. Parents or guardians may initiate the screening
for school-based services by submitting the AAP School-Based Services (Level
II-III) Referral Form to the Hunt Valley Advanced Academic Resource Teacher,
Mrs. Alt, by Friday, May 25th.
Multiple criteria are used to screen students for all levels of
AAP services including: parent information, CogAt and NNAT scores, SOL scores,
work samples, as well as teacher input.
If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Alt by email
at: CMAlt1@fcps.edu or by
calling 703-913-8800.
