[quote=Anonymous]Hello,

We will be moving back from out of state to Fairfax County. Just before we were moving away our child had qualified for FCPS AAP (for 3rd grade back then). Back then we were homeschooling and we applied at AAP as a non-FCPS student, he got in. Then we had to move away for a couple of years. He attended a private school for the last two years we have been out of state.  Now he will be in 5th grade when we move back this summer.

We are wondering what to do regarding schooling when we move back. Whether we should put him in AAP or go private (if he gets accepted). He never had a public school experience either here or elsewhere. We thought that an option may be even if he gets accepted to the private, we may consider to send him to public school for AAP for the first 2.5 weeks before private school opens. This way he can get a sense of environment and the large classrooms. When the private opens in 2.5 weeks after the public school, we can put him in the private for a couple of days and then let him decide between the two. After that he continues with either public or private, and we withdraw from the one he does not choose.

So I need opinions about whether logistically this is possible. Would the public school be OK if we withdrew from the FCPS AAP program 3 weeks into the new semester? Would he loose his AAP status if he considers it again in future? I am trying to get a sense of how things would go with the FCPS school if we inform them we don't want to continue throughout the academic year.

We want him to have a choice between AAP in public school and the private school. Both are new schools/environments for him.

Thank you. [/quote]
