We invite you to attend a parent information session on Tuesday, September 24th, from 6:00-7:00 PM in the school gym. This meeting will cover the continuum of advanced academic services available in FCPS, as well as details about the full-time screening process.
This session is particularly relevant for parents of second graders and those new to the county, providing a valuable opportunity to understand the advanced academic options and how they may apply to students identified as needing them. We encourage all interested parents to attend for a clearer understanding of these educational services.
Below is the Fall AAP newsletter that includes information about AAP services, ability testing, screening, and the annual parent referral deadline for Full-Time AAP services.

Seeking Coaches for Let Me Run
We are hoping to hold a Let Me Run club this fall at GBW, in the morning before school. We need volunteers (being an avid runner is NOT a requirement!) to coach either once or twice a week to make it happen!
Let Me Run is building a new generation of men by teaching boys to be their best selves through a character development program powered by running. 4th-6th grade boys will run and complete lessons on things like expressing emotions, showing affection, building friendships, and connecting with others. LMR is national non-profit that provides coach training, curriculum, and materials needed for lessons! Contact Site Liaison Mary Beth Drum mbdrum@fcps.edu to sign up, for just seven weeks starting late September
