 Spring Pictures on April 12
Put on your spring best and smile pretty for the camera. Spring pictures are coming to McNair Elementary School on Wednesday, April 12.
In the spring, schools review data on all students to determine services for the start of the next school year. Parents or guardians can initiate the screening process by submitting the AAP School-Based Services (Level II-III) Referral Form to the Advanced Academic Resource Teacher (AART) or Assistant Principal by April 15, annually. The AAP School-Based Services (Level II-III) Referral Form may be found here or by searching “AAP Forms” at https://www.fcps.edu/. Parents or guardians who submit a referral will be notified by the local elementary school of their student’s eligibility status by early June.

ESSER Funds Help Students Make Big Gains In Small Groups
Justin, a third-grader, struggled to identify most letters and their sounds in fall 2021 when students returned for the first year of fully in-person instruction since the pandemic began. After a year of reading intervention services—supported by ESSER COVID relief funding—testing data maintained by his school show he’s made more than two years of progress in his reading skills in one academic year! Read more about how schools are overcoming pandemic-related challenges.
