Mental Health Awareness Month
May is National Mental Health Awareness month. While the majority of our students
thrive and are resilient, all students can struggle at times with emotional and
behavioral issues that can affect their learning and overall wellness. Schools are
often the place where these kinds of issues, as well as other mental health needs,
are discovered and where school-based supports can be provided. FCPS wants all parents
and guardians to know that your school counselor, school psychologist, and school
social worker are available for consultation and support on concerns such as anxiety,
peer relationships, stress, depression or other social and emotional issues. They
can also provide a list of private and community- based mental health resources.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child’s school to connect
with a member of the student services team. Click on the following links to
learn about resources and ways to foster resilience in your child. Mental

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.
