Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) offers a continuum of advanced academic services for all students in grades K-8. Learning experiences are designed to develop higher-level thinking through enrichment, acceleration, and extensions of the Program of Studies (POS). Teachers, administrators, and advanced academic resource teachers (AARTs) work together to provide the following levels of school-based services in each elementary school:
- Critical and Creative Thinking Lessons, Grades K-6 (Level I)
All students in kindergarten through grade six receive level I services which consist of model lessons that are designed to teach critical and creative thinking skills. The lessons are modeled in all classrooms by AARTs and the thinking strategies are then used throughout the year by classroom teachers and other teachers who work with students. Student responses to these model lessons are used as part of the identification process for AAP services. Parents may also practice the thinking strategies during family conversations and activities. A description of the nine critical and creative thinking strategies can be found at https://www.fcps.edu/academics/elementary-school-academics-k-6/advanced-academics/critical-and-creative-thinking.
- Differentiated Lessons in Areas of Academic Strength, Grades K-6 (Level II)
The AART collaborates with classroom teachers to provide additional challenge through lessons and resources that extend and enrich the POS. Level II services are part of a talent development pool. Students are rescreened annually to make decisions about the need for this level of service.
- Part-Time Advanced Academic Programs, Grades 3-6 (Level III)
Students identified by a local school screening committee for part-time advanced academic services are challenged through models and strategies designed to extend and enrich the POS in the four core subject areas. Students receive direct instruction from the AART at the local school using curriculum from the AAP Curriculum and Resources to Support the Differentiated Framework. Students identified for Level III services continue to receive level III services through grade 6.
Screening for school-based services can happen at any time during the school year but is done schoolwide in spring to determine services for the next school year. Parents or guardians may initiate the screening for school-based (level II and III) services by submitting the AAP School-Based Services (Level II-III) Referral Form (available at https://www.fcps.edu/node/38893 Forms) to the AART at Annandale Terrace Elementary School by April 9, 2021. Multiple criteria are used to screen students for all levels of AAP services. Parents or guardians who submit a referral will be notified by Annandale Terrace Elementary School of their student’s eligibility status by May 28, 2021.
If a parent or guardian wishes to appeal an ineligible decision, they may submit an appeal with new data for consideration by the local school screening committee. This new information should be submitted to AART Anntoinette L. McEntyre almcentyre@fcps.edu.
If you have any questions, please contact Anntoinette L. McEntyre almcentyre@fcps.edu.
Virginia law, Section 22.1-254, requires that children who will reach their fifth birthday on or before September 30, 2021, must be enrolled in Kindergarten for the 2021-2022 school year unless the parent or guardian notifies the school in writing that they do not wish the child to attend school until the following year. In preparation of 2021-2022 Kindergarten enrollment, please complete the Survey of Preschool Children prior to March 31, 2021. The IT-112, Survey of Preschool Children is also available on the FCPS internet, which includes 7 translated versions following the English version. Please contact the school office if you would like to have a hard copy.
If you know anyone who has a child who will be 5 by September 3, 2021, please pass this information along to them.
Masks are a simple barrier to help prevent your respiratory droplets from reaching others. Studies show that masks reduce the spray of droplets when worn over the nose and mouth. CDC continues to study the effectiveness of different types of masks and updates the recommendations as new scientific evidence becomes available. When visiting an FCPS school or building, please wear a mask or face coving.
The following cloth masks/face coverings are acceptable and supported by FCPS:
- Gaiters with 2 or more layers
- Cloth masks/face coverings with 2 or more layers
All Parent/Guardians are being asked to acknowledge and complete this one-time commitment to health screening so we may be prepared as students are phased back into in-person learning. FCPS will be communicating directly with Parent/Guardians prior to the child's anticipated start date.
The Health Commitment form can be also submitted electronically through ParentVUE (PVUE) . Please contact the school office if you would like to have a hard copy.
