School had the AART teacher do lessons with the whole class mostly. No one ever contacted us about level 2 services even. It didn't really matter to me but just saying, FCPS gives the school some freedom in how to implement local AAP.

Part of that might be availability of resources, as well. Our base school has a PT AART. She's there 2 1/2 days a week, and I don't know, realistically, how much you can expect one person to do, even if she is exceedingly competent, when the school has 800 students.

DP. Our school is a center school and has a full time AART. However, our DC didn't get any pull outs, although her report card says Level II.

Level II pull-outs are not necessary. @ my DC school, class teacher does that. AART does not participant in that process except sending the letter. Level II does not provide anything special, think of it as a badge and nothing more.

At many schools, Level II is a push-in rather than pull-out. This means that more advanced materials will be provided for the kids who are Level II. If your school has an advanced math class for 1st and 2nd grade, that class is the implementation of Level II. Likewise, if your child is reading higher level materials and doing different worksheets, that is also Level II. Level II is just the fancy way of saying that your child is receiving some above grade level content.
