OES advanced academic resource teachers (AARTs), Ellen Donnelly and Christine Neubauer, will present information to parents about the continuum of advanced academic program services. 

If you are interested in learning about the AAP program, please join us.  The session will cover the referral, screening, and identification processes.  

If a student is new to FCPS this year, parent/guardian referrals for full-time AAP services are due by October 15.  All other parent/guardian referrals for full-time AAP services are due by December 15.  

Parents of children in Grades 3-6 can request a one-time retake of either the CogAT or NNAT.  If you would like to request a retake, please email Keith Eck at kaeck@fcps.edu by Oct. 6.  Students who are new to FCPS and do not have abilities score in their record will be given the CogAT during the week of Oct. 9.  Additional information will be sent to families with children who will be tested.
