Thank you for participating in our virtual Back to School Night! It was wonderful to connect with so many families and share information to help make this year the best it can be for all our students.
There will be a virtual meeting on Wednesday, September 29th from 5:00 - 6:00 PM to share information regarding the Advanced Academic Program at Lees Corner. During the first part of the meeting we will discuss the varying levels of AAP services. We will then review the AAP screening and identification process.
This meeting is open to all parents in grades K-6 but is especially helpful for those who are planning to refer their children for AAP level IV services. A Zoom registration link will be shared closer to the date of the meeting. This will require you to enter the email address that you have on file in the main office and your child’s name prior to you receiving a link to the Zoom session. You will also need to have the Zoom application downloaded on your device. This meeting will be recorded for those unable to attend.
FCPS offers a continuum of advanced academic services for all students in Grades K-12. Please read the attached newsletter to learn about the services offered at the elementary school level, upcoming testing, and more.

On Monday, September 13th, you received an email from us notifying you about upcoming and upcoming test, the SEL (Social Emotional Learning) Screener.
Students in grades 3-12 will be screened in the fall, winter, and spring. In these grade levels, students will reflect and report on their own skills and experiences. Screener data will only be accessible to teachers, administrators, and staff with legitimate educational interests. Results will be maintained in secure files and databases accessible only to these individuals. Screener results will be used with other data to inform practices for SEL skill development and mental wellness. Screener data will also help staff plan interventions for students with identified needs. Parents and guardians will receive an individualized report regarding their student’s screener results following each assessment window. School staff will be available to discuss results with families on planned support.
Schools will set specific dates for testing in each class. If you do not want your student to take part in the SEL screener, please return the opt-out form below to the school.
Students in grades K-2 will be screened in the winter and spring. In these grade levels, teachers will complete a survey on their observations of students' skills and experiences.
More information, including a short video about the SEL screener in FCPS and the screener questions, can be found on the SEL Screener webpage (https://www.fcps.edu/node/43892). Please contact your student's school counselor or the school's test coordinator, Laura Tapper at latapper@fcps.edu with questions.
