[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The program at Washington Irving will not be a level 4 center, rather an expansion of their local level 4 services.  The AAP office is evidently not involved in what they are doing.  I would imagine you can opt out your level 4 student out of participating if you don't want them involved.  [/quote]

I agree. I saw this notice and it reads to me that they are putting together one team that consists of all AAP-qualified kids whose classes will all be honors, with math being either 7th grade honors or honors algebra I, but it is not becoming an AAP center. If you feel your child would benefit from staying in the AAP program for middle school, you still have the option of Lake Braddock, which has been an AAP/GT center for quite some time. Some families will prefer the honors program, some will prefer the AAP center. It really depends on what would work best for each child.

Why would the school group the level IV kids together and tell the parents?  (I'm sure they could have don this without telling the parents.  Just like some classes in school got "good" mixes and other don't). I would think that the parents wanted the kids at Irving, AAP wasn't a concern for them, they were fine with honors.  I agree with the OP - why "label" all the level 4 kids as such?  Are they too good to mix with the general population?

I don't think the superintendent has anything to do with this - It's a kinda "in the weeds" issue only effecting a handful of students.[/quote]
