Living with ADHD Support Group

Mrs. Mason and Mrs. Berry are offering support to families through on-going monthly meetings to address the challenges of life with ADHD. The next meeting is currently scheduled for Tuesday, May 15th. This final meeting of the school year will cover 504 Plans and IEP’s and then we will have a work session for implementing ideas from the book “8 Keys to Parenting Children with ADHD.”  While there is a focus on ADHD, the strategies offered in this book are useful for all children.  The meeting will take place in the school library from 7:00 – 8:30pm. If you have any questions, please contact either Mrs. Mason (703)-913-8827/ tamason@fcps.edu) or Mrs. Berry (703-913-8885 / mfberry@fcps.edu.


SCA Spirit Day

Attention Hunt Valley students: The final SCA Spirit day of the year is coming soon!  Our last spirit day of the year will be on Friday, June 1st.  The theme is Hawaiian Summer Luau.  Come to school in your best gear to celebrate the theme, and the fact that summer is right around the corner.  Please remember to wear things that are appropriate and safe for school (including no swim suits).  Talk with your teachers if you have any questions.
Thanks everyone! Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Garretson, and Mrs. Hawkins 


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.
