Full Time AAP eligible students in rising 3-6th grade and their families are encouraged to attend White Oaks’ Full Time AAP Orientation on Thursday, April 10th at 6:00 p.m. in the White Oaks cafeteria. Please
RSVP here. Contact Susan Lattuca (salattuca@fcps.edu) with any questions. Hope to see you there!
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is committed to challenging all students through talent development and differentiated instruction to meet the needs of advanced learners.
While screening for Subject Specific and Part-Time AAP Services can occur any time in the school year, we review data on all students in the Spring to determine services for the start of the next school year. Please note that the deadline for Full Time AAP referrals has passed (December 15, 2024) and we are not able to accept any Full Time referrals at this time.
Parents are welcome to submit a School Based Referral Form (linked here) to Susan Lattuca (salattuca@fcps.edu) and Dana Harlan (daharlan@fcps.edu), our AARTs, during the Spring Screening window between March 21st and April 21st. Parents or guardians who submit a referral form will be notified by the local elementary school of their student’s eligibility status in early June.
Screening Process for Subject Specific and Part-Time Services
Multiple criteria are reviewed holistically to determine eligibility for all FCPS advanced academic services. Committees consider student work from opportunities with AAP lessons, examples of student reasoning or gifted behaviors from class discussions and activities, progress reports, achievement and ability scores, and parent or guardian input. Committees consider whether students have access to a group of students with similar academic needs to support academic conversations and growth in the classroom.
For more information about the continuum of AAP services, please visit the AAP website at: https://www.fcps.edu/registration/advancedacademics-identification-and-placement/current-fcps-students.
If you have questions, please reach out to Susan Lattuca (salattuca@fcps.edu) and Dana Harlan (daharlan@fcps.edu).
