Advanced Academic Programs Level IV School Choice and Transfer/Reactivation Form Deadline
In order to have a deadline better aligned with staffing and hiring timelines for schools, the transfer/reactivation form requesting a change of school choice for AAP Local Level IV or Level IV Center for eligible students has been moved up to May 15, 2019.
This new deadline should to be communicated to all families by January 18, 2019 of Level IV-eligible students at your school who have a choice of Level IV Center or Local Level IV. If families do not submit a transfer form by May 15, 2019, the current placement will continue for the next school year for students in Grades 4-6 (or Grades 4-5 for K-5 elementary schools). Newly eligible students will communicate their choice of Local Level IV or Level IV Center in the permission for placement form submitted to the AAP office in early May.
For Level IV-eligible elementary students transitioning to middle school, the SIS rollover to “next school” will assign Local Level IV students to their base middle school (assigned by home address), and Level IV Center students to the middle school Level IV center (assigned by home address). Changes to this automatic school assignment may be made by parent/guardian request via the transfer form.
Parents/guardians may submit the Full-Time Advanced Academic Programs Level IV Transfer/Reactivation Form to the Advanced Academic Programs office by May 15, 2019, to communicate a change in school placement for the 2019-20 school year. Submission of this form represents a one-year commitment to attend the selected Level IV option and cannot be changed until the following school year.
