Chipotle Night

December 17 for Twain Theatre

Mark your calendars for the Twain Theatre Chipotle Night next Tuesday, December 17 from 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm at the Kingstowne Chipotle.  Make sure to tell the cashier you're with Twain Theatre and a portion of your order will be donated to the Theatre Department!  Please note that per Chipotle’s FAQ page, online orders do not count. Their site specifically says: The only way that orders will be counted towards the fundraiser is if they are ordered and paid for in-store during fundraiser hours.


Winter Break Office Hours

Twain’s main office will be closed from December 23, 2019 through January 3, 2020. Voicemail will be checked daily.


Advanced Academics Program

This is a friendly reminder that the deadline for referring students in the 7th Grades for AAP full-time Level IV consideration is due no later than Thursday, January 9, 2020.  Parents are welcome to submit early, but no late referrals will be accepted.  We advise parents not to wait for pending abilities test scores if they would like their student screened. While the Grade 2 screening pool casts a starting point for screening some students, test scores are only one factor in the eligibility decision. 

If you would like more information about Level IV AAP services or the screening process for Level IV, there are two parent presentations available on the AAP public website  that have the same information that was shared at our local school information meetings. More information can be found at the following: https://www.fcps.edu/academics/academic-overview/advanced-academic-programs)

Referrals can be submitted to the Advanced Academic Resource Coordinator Ms. Flood-Wright at any time up through January 9. Ms. Flood-Wright’s contact information is below:
