Reminder: Window for Full-Time AAP Referrals Closes on December 15th!

Parents/guardians of students in Grades 2-7 who would like their student to be considered for Full-Time advanced academic programs (AAP) may submit the AAP Full-Time Referral Form to Lane’s AART, Linda Simon (lesimon@fcps.edu), no later than 11:59 p.m. on December 15, 2024.

Please email Ms. Simon ahead of time if you plan to submit a referral for your child, even though you have until the 15th to submit the referral form. It’s helpful for her to know as soon as possible.

Similarly, if you have questions, please email them to Ms. Simon as soon as possible. This eliminates the chance she will not be able to get back to you with an answer in time to meet the referral deadline.

The window for families to submit a referral for Full-Time AAP services is the first day of school through December 15th, 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. Parents may request a copy of the portfolio that was submitted after they have been turned in for central selection by emailing Ms. Simon.

Referrals for Subject-Specific and Part-Time AAP are screened at the local school. If you miss this deadline, your student can still be screened for Subject-Specific AAP or Part-Time AAP for the remainder of the year and submit a referral for Full-Time AAP next fall.
