The deadline to submit a referral for AAP Full-Time (Level IV) services is Thursday, December 15, 2022. Please submit the referral to your child’s classroom teacher, or to Jessica Stebbins, our Advanced Academic Resource Teacher (AART). Once the referral is submitted, a school committee will prepare a screening file to be submitted on the child’s behalf, and a decision about eligibility for Level 4 services will be made by the county in early spring. Families are notified of this decision in early to mid-April. You can find the referral form, along with the optional parent questionnaire on the Advanced Academic Programs website. You may also request a copy of the referral and parent questionnaire from your child’s classroom teacher. If you have any questions, please contact Jessica Stebbins, our AART at jsstebbins@fcps.edu or by calling the school at 703-799-2000.
Programas académicos avanzados: fecha límite de referencia de nivel 4 para los grados 2-6
La fecha límite para enviar una remisión para los servicios de AAP Tiempo Completo (Nivel IV) es el jueves 15 de diciembre de 2022. Envíe la remisión al maestro de su hijo o a Jessica Stebbins, nuestra maestra de recursos académicos avanzados (AART). Una vez que se envía la remisión, un comité escolar preparará un archivo de evaluación que se presentará en nombre del niño, y el condado tomará una decisión sobre la elegibilidad para los servicios de Nivel 4 a principios de la primavera. Las familias son notificadas de esta decisión a principios o mediados de abril. Puede encontrar el formulario de recomendación, junto con el cuestionario opcional para padres en el sitio web de Programas académicos avanzados. También puede solicitar una copia de la referencia y el cuestionario para padres al maestro de la clase de su hijo. Si tiene alguna pregunta, comuníquese con Jessica Stebbins, nuestro AART en jsstebbins@fcps.edu o llamando a la escuela al 703-799-2000.
We especially appreciate everyone’s efforts to avoid taking extra days off during the Thanksgiving holiday. Just a few missed days here and there, even if they’re excused absences, can add up to too much lost learning time and leave your child behind in school. This is as true in kindergarten as it is in high school.
We know it’s tempting to extend your vacation by a few days on either side of the holiday. However, this holiday season, the best gift you can give your child is a good education. And the best place to get that education is in school. Every day. On time.
If you child needs to miss school, remember to contact the main office at 703-799-2000.
The Fairfax County School Board is reviewing recommended changes to the Family Life Education (FLE) curriculum and invites public feedback as part of the review process. In May 2022, the Family Life Education Curriculum Advisory Committee (FLECAC) presented recommended curriculum changes, to go into effect for the 2023-24 school year. Those changes include adopting gender-combined instruction, and exploring instruction of gender identity, recommended media, and other instructional changes.
The recommendations reflect leading education and child development research and expert advice. According to research cited in the recommendations, these changes will create a more inclusive learning environment, result in higher academic achievement for students, and improve school climate.
Public feedback will be shared with FLECAC and the School Board. FCPS staff and the School Board will consider all feedback but are unable to reply to individuals.
Learn more about the recommended changes on our website. The public feedback form will be available on our website and will be open October 31 through December 1.
Comentarios Sobre los Cambios Propuestos en la Educación Para La Vida Familiar (FLE)
La Junta Escolar del Condado de Fairfax está revisando los cambios recomendados en el plan de estudios de Educación para la Vida Familiar (FLE) e invita a los comentarios del público como parte del proceso de revisión. En mayo de 2022, el Comité Asesor del Currículo de Educación para la Vida Familiar (FLECAC) presentó los cambios recomendados en el currículo, que entrarán en vigor en el año escolar 2023-24. Estos cambios incluyen la adopción de la instrucción combinada de género, y la exploración de la instrucción de la identidad de género, los medios de comunicación recomendados, y otros cambios de instrucción.
Las recomendaciones reflejan las principales investigaciones sobre educación y desarrollo infantil y el asesoramiento de expertos. Según las investigaciones citadas en las recomendaciones, estos cambios crearán un entorno de aprendizaje más inclusivo, darán lugar a un mayor rendimiento académico de los alumnos y mejorarán el clima escolar.
Los comentarios del público serán compartidos con el FLECAC y la Junta Escolar. El personal de FCPS y la Junta Escolar considerarán todos los comentarios pero no pueden responder a individuos.
Aprenda más sobre los cambios recomendados en nuestro sitio web. El formulario de comentarios del público estará disponible en nuestro sitio web y estará abierto del 31 de Octubre al 1 de Diciembre.
