Why do they need a decision so soon?

[Anonymous]

Our orientations are Tues. the 26th, Thurs. the 28th and then we have to decide by Fri. the 29th. That is not a lot of time. Sheesh. Wonder why we can't get more time. Sheesh.

Also, does anyone know, I know we can fax it in but if we mail the form does it have to arrive by the 29th or be postmarked by the 29th?

The schools need to make staffing decisions based on the number of kids....so your base school need to know how many are leaving just as much as the center schools need to know how many students to expect.

Not sure about the postmark. I believe it needs to be received by that date; I scanned and emailed the form in.

The letter said it has to be faxed or mailed in. I did not see an email option, although an email for AAP is on the form.

I guess we all pretty much know our decisions if our kids were screened for AAP and we are all on this forum discussing all aspects of it full time I bet every parent had enough time to make decision while waiting on AAP decision.

Certainly I do not wish to mess up the process for anyone, but I did confirm that a scanned form emailed over is sufficient.

Yes, but the OP has a choice of LLIV or a Center, with orientations the days before the deadline. It's not the choice of AAP that's the dilemma, it's where to go to school.

And OP, I agree with you that it's quick. My son's LLIV school has orientation this Monday 4/18 at 10 am - that's very short notice for working parents!!!

For those who have the option of Local Level IV and the center, some wondrous internet sleuth found this and posted it on an another thread: http://www.fcps.edu/is/aap/pdfs/aapac/1415/AnnualReport1415.pdf

Provides a breakdown of how many kids are at the local program versus center (by school)

I am pretty sure you can use this site too http://www.fcps.edu/fts/dashboard/15-16dashboard.html

Go to the Capacity and Enrollment link. Find your school. You can tell how many transferred out and in for AAP. Also by grade.

Doesn't tell you how many stayed for LLIV.

I agree!! Our orientations are the 26th and 27th giving us 2 whole days to decide. I wish the orientations were much earlier. A huge part of our decision might be who is staying or going.

Our LLIV orientation is on the 28th.

we are deciding between staying with immersion (and with friends and sister) at base school or moving to Center. I agree and wish we had until the end of the summer to think about it.

For some schools for 2015-2016 there is no AAP count for LLIV schools. I know this is the case at Shrevewood, for example.
