The parent referral form, submitted to the school, is one pathway to have a student screened for AAP Level IV.

Parents of students in grades 2-7 will need to submit the referral form by December 1.
Referrals will not be accepted after December 1. For more information about AAP Level IV or the screening process, please visit https://www.fcps.edu/academics/academic-overview/advanced-academic-programs.

2020 Holiday Giving at Crossfield
You Can Offer Hope to Families in Need
In years past, Crossfield has displayed a Giving Tree as a way for Crossfield families to purchase gifts for families in need during the holidays. The need for holiday assistance is still strong, but we will need to collect these donations differently this year. So, how can you help?
- Purchase a gift card in any amount to Wal-Mart and/or Target.
- Write the amount on the gift card.
- Bring the gift card to Crossfield between 10:00-2:30, 11/18-12/4 (Office will be closed 11/25,26,27)
- Ring the doorbell at Crossfield and someone will bring a box for you to place your gift card in for a contactless drop off
For more information, please contact Lea Fadden at ltfadden@fcps.edu.
