Aap submission...what types of awards or certificates did you include?

[Anonymous]

Are there others you didn't include up considered?

Why are you asking this? The parent referrals and questionnaires were due weeks ago.

I guess OP is either thinking forward (future submission) or prepare for appeal.
Generally, any awards/certificates for meaningful extracurricular activities will be fine, especially academical nature (Kumon certificates is debatable). FCPS don't pay high attention on regular music/sports, but if your DC have high achievements or letters from music teachers/sports coaches, you can include those.
Our package includes certificate and teacher's commendation letter for above-grade math, commendation letter from TKD coach and piano teacher, award for second language school. We didn't include certificate from summer camp, even though it's academic.

I included the sticker chart from DC's potty training. It really illustrated just how advanced he was at a young age.

Oh yah, well my child was tantrumming at a 2 year old level at 10 months. Truly gifted.

We are going private, but if we had not gotten in I would have included her honors certificates from her current school as well her her citizenship award.

We included one photo of DD with her chess tournament trophies. We also included a letter from her chess coach.

I would avoid any trophy or certificate that is given to every child who participates in a program. Include the kind of awards that are only give to one or two kids in an entire program.

For kids in the pool, are these necessary?

No. We didn't do this and our child is in AAP.

11:12 here -- I agree with this. We only included trophies she won at the state tournament. I don't think the photo and letter was necessary, either. I did that for her but didn't do that for her younger sister. Both were in pool and both are in AAP now.
