Dear Wolftrap Families,
Welcome back! I hope you had a restful break. We look forward to a productive time before the winter holiday. This is always a busy time for students and staff. Please keep an eye on the calendar so that you can prepare your child for any changes in schedules due to concerts or other events. This can help with the stress connected with this time of year. As always, let us know how to help. Have a great week! Perhaps we will see you at the Vienna Holiday Stroll or at Family Science Night this week!
Dr. Grove, Principal
Ms. O’Donovan, Assistant Principal

LAST WEEK!!! LOST AND FOUND: During the week of Book Fair, we put out all the items that are currently in our Lost and Found. PLEASE look at these items and retrieve anything that is yours. We will be donating all items to those in need THIS FRIDAY, December 1st. *PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD!
AAP REFERRAL WINDOW CLOSING DATE: Window for Full-time AAP Referrals Closes on December 15, 2023: Parents/guardians of students in Grades 2-7 who would like their student to be considered for full-time advanced academic programs may submit the AAP Full-Time (Level IV) Referral Form to Mrs. Newman (srnewman@fcps.edu) no later than December 15, 2023.
The window for families to submit a referral for full-time AAP services is the first day of school through December 15, annually. Forms for full-time and part-time referrals are available on the AAP Forms Page. No late referrals for Full-Time AAP services will be accepted.
Submitting a referral form for full-time AAP will initiate a process that begins at the local school and is then completed at the central office level. Our school will put together a portfolio that includes multiple data which are considered holistically. At the central office level, a committee of six trained professionals from various schools and roles will review the portfolio materials to determine eligibility for full-time placement. Eligibility decisions are communicated by early April. Referrals for subject-specific and part-time AAP are screened at the local school and do not have a deadline. For more information, please visit the Advanced Academic Programs website.
