Reminder

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?

  1. Purchase a gift card in any amount to Wal-Mart and/or Target.
  2. Write the amount on the gift card.
  3. Bring the gift card to Crossfield between 10:00-2:30, 11/18-12/4 (Office will be closed 11/25,26,27)
  4. 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.  


Reminder: Referral Window for Advanced Academic Programs (AAP) Level IV Screening Consideration Ends December 1

Tuesday, December 1 is the close of the window (Sept 8-Dec 1) for parents to submit a referral form for their student to be screened for full-time Advanced Academic Programs (AAP) Level IV. The parent referral form, submitted to the school, is one pathway to have a student screened for AAP Level IV. Parents should not wait for an announcement of the second grade screening pool if they want to make sure their student is screened for AAP Level IV in the coming screening cycle. 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.

If you have any questions, please contact Melissa Graham, the school’s Advanced Academic Resource Teacher.
