[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be clear (as mud? ;-)  ) -- if you are referring your child because you did not receive a letter that your child is in the 2nd grade pool, the parent referral form was due Friday, February 5, but the deadline has been extended due to snow/school closure.

If you DID receive a letter stating that your child is in the 2nd grade pool and you are submitting optional materials, those are due Friday, February 12.

From the FCPS web site:

http://www.fcps.edu/DIS/gt/timeline.html

February 2 - 5, 2010 (8:30 am - 4:00 pm)
Parents of [b]students not attending FCPS[/b] submit screening files*.

If FCPS schools are closed due to inclement weather on Friday February 5,
the deadline for private school files for Level IV screening will be extend to Monday, February 8 or the next day that FCPS schools are open.

I get what you are saying!!!  What I am telling you is that SOME schools' AAP coordinators have apparently set earlier deadlines as our school's AAP coordinator did.  Our letter (saying our DC is in the pool) says she needs that materials by February 4 for kids IN THE POOL.  It may not be the county's deadline, but apparently our school has set an earlier deadline.  It's possible that the AAP coordinator that the poster's school did that as well (in fact, it could also be our AAP coordinator because our coordinator works at more than one school).  I recommend that she call her school and ask just to be sure.  If I had relied on the county's websote, I would be a week late.  I assume the AAP coordinator would have to take the materials, but it doesn't seem worth it to fight the fight when I can play by her rules.[/quote]
