Full-Time Screening Process

The link for the AAP full time referral form has been corrected. 

Thank you to those families who attended the AAP Full-Time presentation in October.  For those that couldn’t attend, you can find the Slide Deck here.

Full-Time AAP Application process

Required: Parents in grades 2-6 who wish to refer to their children for AAP Full-Time Services for the 2026-27 school year need to sign and complete the AAP Full Time Referral Form by December 15th. Please do not wait for the NGAT results to come back to initiate a referral.  Please see slide 12 in the slide deck for more information.

Required (for any student that has a 504/IEP):  New this year!  Families of students with 504s/IEPs must also complete the 504/IEP consent form            .

Optional Documents:

Parent Questionnaire (with ratings circled, examples underneath, and signature)  See  Slide Deck pages 18-19.

*2  pages of Student Work Samples (PDF only..no animated files)

Since FCPS’ services are academic, it is most helpful for the work samples provided by families to be in areas such as reading and writing, science, social studies, and math.  Although art samples can show creativity or a strong sense of design, please keep in mind the committee is going to be looking for exceptional strengths aligned with advanced academic services.

  •  2 pages only (singled sided, not double sided)
  •  8 ½ x 11 pieces of paper
  • 1-2 samples per page
  • no letters of recommendations or extracurricular activities permitted
  • work that was completed by the student
  • stories/writing must not exceed the 2 pages
  • Include a brief description on the sample noting what you would like the committee to notice.
  • A separate page describing the work samples is accepted and won’t count as one of the two pages

The referral form and optional documents are due electronically to Cathy Lahr at cclahr@fcps.edu by December 15th.   Please attach all documents in one email using separate attachments. No late referrals will be accepted.
