Churchill Chatter - Issue 17, November 22, 2020


Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!

The Thanksgiving holiday is nearly here. As we begin our holiday, the entire Churchill Road staff would like to wish everyone a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. We also would like to take this opportunity to thank our community for your words of encouragement and patience during this time. We could not have navigated the many new and unforeseen challenges over the past months without your assistance on the home front as well. We are so grateful for each and every one of you.

With our most sincere thanks for all of you,

Cherith Pierson, Jen Niccolls and the entire Churchill Road staff

Deadline for AAP Level IV Referrals - 12/1

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 December 1, 2020.  Parents are welcome to submit early, but no late referrals will be accepted. 

FCPS has informed us that the 2nd grade screening pool will not be released until after the referral deadline. Parents must submit a Parent Referral Form if they want to make sure their student is screened for Level IV AAP in the coming screening cycle.  Parents of students in grades 2-7 will need to submit the Parent referral form by December 1.

If you would like more information about Level IV AAP services or the screening process, please visit:  Identification and Placement for Level IV.  Please email, AART, Esther Lee (eclee1@fcps.edu) if you have any questions.

Remember:  Please submit all referral materials in ONE email with each work sample being its own file attachment (parent referral form, up to 4 work samples from home, optional parent questionnaire, other materials) to eclee1@fcps.edu.   Please submit documents in PDF or jpg format.
