Happy Friday Fox Mill Families,
Please remember to show up in your numbers for our Books and Bingo event tonight. We look forward to a spectacular evening. We would like to thank the PTA as well as Mrs. Slusher and her team for organizing this event.
We would also like to thank all our parents who donated to the Food Drive as well as the Pajama Drive. With your help, you provided warmth and comfort to those in need, particularly the youngest among us.
A FEW UPDATES
Bathroom Vandalism
We pride ourselves on being responsible citizens at school. We boast a clean, welcoming environment for all our students to learn and grow. Unfortunately, we have seen the misuse of paper towels and toilet paper in some of the hallway bathrooms. Our custodians work extremely hard to clean, but we are asking that parents reiterate with students, the importance of using all toiletries appropriately in the bathrooms.
THREE HOUR EARLY RELEASE MONDAY – December 9th. If you have not already done so, please inform your child’s teacher of your decision on dismissal on Monday.
Fox Mill will be a buzz of activities over the next few weeks. Chorus Winter Concert will be held on Tuesday, December 10th at 6pm. Our Band concert will be on Thursday, December 12th at 6pm. We will be entertained by our students in the drama club as they bring to us Annie Jr. The performance starts at 7pm on Tuesday, December 17th. This is a free admission event; however, we will accept donations toward props and rights to future performances.
AAP CORNER
Reminder: Window for Full-Time AAP Referrals Closes on December 15, 2024
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 Referral Form to Pamela James at prjames@fcps.edu no later than December 15, 2024.
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. Parents may request a copy of the portfolio that was submitted after they have been turned in for central selection by emailing Pamela James at prjames@fcps.edu.
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.
For more information, please visit the Advanced Academic Programs website.
Have a wonderful weekend. See you all on Monday.
