Happy Friday Fox Mill Families,
We hope you had a wonderful week. It was quite a busy week at Fox Mill. We would like to thank all of our staff and the PTA for another successful Books and Bingo night. A special thank you to our librarian, Sarah Slusher, for working tirelessly to ensure a smooth week at our Book Fair.
We would also like to thank our teachers in the music department for two outstanding performances. Our chorus concert on Tuesday as well as our Band and Strings Concert on Thursday. A special thank you to one of our parents, Jeremy Boyle, for accompanying our students on guitar during both performances.
At Fox Mill, we provide students with opportunities to showcase their talent. At our Drama club assembly on Tuesday morning, we witnessed a star performance of the beloved play – Annie. We would love for you to attend our Winter Show on Tuesday, December 17th at 7pm.
A FEW UPDATES
Road Safety
As we move into the busy festive season, we would like to appeal to our families to be extra careful when using the streets. Please emphasize with your children, the importance of always using crosswalks, looking both ways before crossing, never running into traffic and being aware of their surroundings. As reminder students are not allowed to walk across the bus loop during the school day. We are also asking families who gather in the walker’s area during dismissal, to be extra vigilant of students in that area. This is not a location for students to be playing with a ball nor other objects that could potentially run into the street or the kiss and ride loop.
Family Life Education
All FLE lessons for K-6 will be taught during the week of December 16-20th. Please check your digital consent form to ensure that your child (children) can/ cannot participate in lessons.
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.
