Join our Advanced Academic Resource Teacher, Val Sesso, in the library from 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm to learn about AAP levels of service and examples at Virginia Run. The meeting is open to all K-6 parents.

A second meeting will be held on November 25 from 8:30am-9:30am for parents of students in grades 2-6 who are interested in screening for Level IV AAP services at Bull Run. If you have a child in grade 2-6 and are interested in the center screening process, please attend the meeting in November.

If you have a child in grade 3-6 who entered FCPS during or after January 2019, you are welcome to refer your child for full-time Level IV services. The deadline for referring new students is October 10, 2019. The Parent Information Packet containing the referral form can be found at https://www.fcps.edu/registration/advanced-academics-identification-and-placement/elementary-school/current-fcps .

Fundraiser for Hurricane Victims

Dear Region 5 Communities,

Each of the 32 schools in Region 5 of Fairfax County Public Schools are uniting together to support the humanitarian crisis that has occurred in the Bahamas due to Hurricane Dorian. We have all witnessed the devastation from this deadly storm and we want to be able to help. There is an estimated 18,000 children in crisis and many children have lost everything they own. So we are calling each of our communities to action!

Over the next two weeks, we will be fundraising by using a GoFundMe page. The link is below which also includes a link to a video for more information. All proceeds will go to the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF). Our funds will go to water, shelter, food, clothes, backpacks, books, and other school materials.

Please join Region 5 in making a difference. Any amount can be helpful! The fundraiser will run from Wednesday, September 18th to Friday, October 4th.
