This week we celebrated our OES nominees for FCPS Outstanding Teacher: Brendan Lins and FCPS Outstanding School-Based Professional Employee: Jonelle Shipley. Brendan and Jonelle were nominated for consistently going above and beyond to meet the needs of our students.
If you would like to nominate a staff member for going above and beyond, please consider writing in to the FCPS Cares Program. FCPS Cares is an opportunity for parents, staff, and community members to recognize FCPS employees for going above and beyond to help others and show they care. We invite you to submit your story so we can all acknowledge the great work of our staff.

Deadline for AAP Level IV Referrals
This is a friendly reminder that the deadline for referring students in Grades 2-7 for AAP full-time Level IV consideration is due no later than 4:30PM on 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. https://www.fcps.edu/academics/academic-overview/advanced-academic-programs)
Referrals can be submitted to the Advanced Academic Resource Teacher, Tony Gray, at any time up to 4:30PM on January 9.
